Hey everyone o/

 

I recently got an Archer BE550 and was initially very impressed, but I have run into a problem that has occurred 3 times at least. 

 

What happens:

Without any real warning or any specific reason it just drops all devices completely from the network. No WiFi, No LAN. 

The only thing that fixes it is to manually restart the unit.

 

The logs do not indicate anything specific that seems to be the problem and I haven't seen the same logs when happens. 

 

I have seen some other threads in different forums that talk about the same issue, but it doesn't seem like there is ever any real answer on how to resolve this. 

 

Troubleshooting I have tried:

- Disabled OLM

- Disabled fair use

- Changed through a few different WiFi settings

- Factory reset and re-setup

- Used the initial version it came out of the box with

- Updated firmware to the version listed above

 

My setup:

WiFi devices:

• 2 x Midea Aircons
• Google Pixel 8
• Ubuntu HP Laptop
• Hisense TV

 

LAN: (3 physical ethernet cables)

• Windows PC
• Android TV box
• GMKtec mini PC (below what runs on it)
• Proxmox with 3 Linux containers. One of these containers have a static IP and has a network share on it using Samba. Weird thing is that it never shows up on the router as a device even though it works perfectly.
• One of those linux containers runs Docker and has a media server on it that streams to my internal devices.
• The above devices all connect to the router through the GMKtec 2.5Gb network ethernet connection since they are all virtual except for the proxmox since it is the main OS/device.

 

My internet connection is a fiber connection with a fiber termination box that goes to an ONT and then connects to the WAN port on the TP-Link router.

 

I think that covers about everything. Let me know if any more information is needed. 

 

I REALLY need this resolved since this is incredibly irritating to deal with.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.
