Archer BE800 router randomly reboots when MLO network is running
Archer BE800 router randomly reboots when MLO network is running. When I disable the MLO network, the router runs stably. The new BE800 router is set as the primary router, along with three additional mesh routers (a BE230 and two BE3600 routers).

@raq50 Thanks for the info. Looks like i have the same issue with sudden reboots. I will try disable MLO, as I currently not really use it

Hello @raq50 ,
Welcome to our community.
May I know the EasyMesh Backhaul between the main router and satellite routers? Is it wireless backhaul or Ethernet backhaul?
What happens if EasyMesh is disabled? Does this anomaly occur after the firmware update?

Hi @Joseph-TP
In my previous configuration, I was using a BE230 router with two BE3600 satellites in a wireless mesh setup without any issues. Since upgrading my fiber connection to 8Gbps, I decided to purchase a BE800 to serve as the main router.
My network handles over a dozen devices at peak times, including 6 PCs/Macs, 5 smartphones (Android/iOS), 3 tablets (Android/iOS), 3 watchOS, smart home devices (camera/aquarium) on an isolated network, Apple TV, Google TV, and a NAS.
All devices are running the latest firmware. The main unit is connected via wireless mesh to the other routers. I have performed tests by disabling various features, including the mesh itself. The problem clearly relates to the MLO (Multi-Link Operation) network. The router restarts approximately every 4 hours, suggesting a potential memory leak or buffer overflow issue.
Current Configuration:
-
WAN: Currently connected via RJ45 (I have ordered a TP-LINK TL-SM5110-LR SFP+ module).
-
WiFi Settings:
-
TWT: Enabled
-
OFDMA + MU-MIMO: Enabled

-
2.4 GHz / 5 GHz / 6 GHz: All enabled, including a Guest Network with a Portal (I run a service center and have been in IT for 30 years).
-
IoT Network: 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz enabled.

-
Networking & Security:

NAT: Enabled
-
DNS Privacy: DoH (Cloudflare)
-
Negotiation: Auto
-
RX/TX: Enabled for LAN/WAN
-
VLAN ID 35 + 802.1Q Tag for Internet
-
Dynamic DNS (no-IP) and VPN Client (NordVPN) enabled.
-
WMM and AirTime Fairness: Enabled
-
AP Isolation: Disabled
-
Port Forwarding: Active for NAS
-
Firewall: SPI enabled; Ping response disabled.
-
ALG: All options enabled.
-
Device Isolation: Active for 2 devices (IP Camera and Smart Aquarium).
-

I believe I have listed the most critical parameters of my setup.
