Archer C24 V2– Repeated PPP Assertion Failures & INETD Select Errors
Hello TP-Link Community,
I am experiencing recurring issues with my Archer C24 router (Hardware Version: 2.0, Firmware 1.13.30 Build 250815 Rel.50806n, PCBA V2).
**Problem Description:**
- Intermittent WAN instability
- Repeated PPP library assertion failures
- Occasional INETD select errors
- Router occasionally **auto-reboots** without warning
**Critical log entries:**
**Router Setup:**
- WAN Type: PPPoE
- Local IP: 172.23.18.28
- Remote IP: 10.10.202.65
- MTU: 1480
**Steps Already Taken:**
- Rebooted router multiple times
- Checked PPPoE credentials
- WAN works but instability and auto-reboots persist
- Firmware is latest available (1.13.30 Build 250815)
**System Log:**
2025-09-18 17:00:45 | Assertion failed, file ./ppp/pppLib.c, line 863
2025-09-20 20:56:43 | Assertion failed, file ./ppp/pppLib.c, line 863
2025-09-28 14:46:18 | Assertion failed, file ./ppp/pppLib.c, line 863
2025-10-03 20:30:33 | Assertion failed, file ./ppp/pppLib.c, line 863
00:00:23 | [inetd]INETD: select error, abort
**Request:**
Could someone advise if this is a known issue or if a firmware update/patch is available? Any guidance to prevent WAN disruptions and auto-reboots would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
