Model: Archer C64  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.15.0 Build 250729 Rel.63489n(4555)

Hello there TPLinkers!

 

Can someone share some knowledge regarding some issue I encounter with one with my  C64's please?

I have an EasyMesh with 2 C64's in the house. I use a gpon from my Internet provider. 

Since November last year one of my routers is having a recovery boot loop start/ restart issue (all led lit and only one flashing rapidly!). Have no idea why but tried all firmware possible and all methods of writing firmware on this device... it works a few hours than fails and goes back to a recovery boot loop for who knows what reason.

I did check the power adapter, change it with a bigger one, amps wise, I have the same result, recovery boot loop after few hours of use. I also open it and did not noticed any burned or hot components visually, the only round capacitor on the board is ok...

Is this C64 garbage and I should replaced it or there is some other solution like a beta firmware that could stabilize my device?

 

Thank you so much for your time!

Based on your description, that seems like a HW issue with the device. Either contact your local support to be advised further or buy a new one.

@terziyski Thank you for this answer. After all of my attempts of course, this is also my only conclusion since I just wake up in the same situation, no matter how I manage to fix this device. Sadly, this is a short lifespan for this router...it is cheap of course but does not seem very reliable. I did purchase another one, same model unfortunately. Yesterday I decided to switch to another model with wifi6 and the Archer C64 will be used as an extender with OneMesh function. The device (Archer C64 in discussion of course!) just start to work normally if I unplugged it and after a few minutes I start it again, BUT, BUT... every startup just assign itself another MAC address!!! JUST WHY AND HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??? Any idea though about why this model could have failed hardware wise? Could be something wrong on the GPON side, even if that device does not show any errors?

The MAC addresses of the router should be persistent and they are printed on its bottom sticker.

If you have an ISP GPON router you may try to configure Easumesh with both C64 in AP mode to rule out any misconfiguration - details.
