Archer C8 WiFi dropping
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I upgraded to a Archer C8 and have had to go back to my old router because the wifi connection lags on the C8. This is most frustrating when playing games over the internet and my connection lags and pauses for a few seconds then comes back. Is there a fix for this? I only upgraded to the C8 because it was rated as the best budget wifi router for gaming.

Hello,
I have the same problem, wifi is working fine for about a year now, and as a sudden all clients are disconnected randomly since a week.
trying to reconnect on Windows is Leading to a 'can't connect to this network', the only solution I found so faris switchOff/on
all wired clients are still connected Ok, and same issue with 2.4 or 5G band.
I'm using the latest update, tried to go back to the previous one with no better luck.
is that an Hardware issue or ??
any hint would be appreciated...
as it is still under warranty for a couple of weeks, I'll send it for repair if no solution

Thanks for your clarification.
So the current issue is that the wireless connection will lose internet, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and you need reboot the router to make it work; while the wired device still works well, right?
What is the led status of the Archer C8 at that time? You still can see the wireless network name but failed to connect to them with the error message, right?
Have you ever tried to change some wireless settings yet? Including wireless channel and channel width. For example, change channel of 2.4GHz to 1, 6 or 11, channel width to 20Mhz; for 5GHz, use channel 36, 40 and 44, channel width 80MHz;
Besides, you can try to hard reset the router to give it a go as well.
There is a guidance you can refer to to narrow down the issue as well:
