Archer C6 V2 EU dropping WIFI and LAN on PCs, but not on mobile devices?!
Hello,
my Archer C6 is randomly dropping fixed (LAN) and wireless (WIFI both 2.4 and 5GHz) connections on PCs (three PCs in perfectly fine condition).
WIFI connection on mobile devices (both 2.4 and 5) works perfectly though?!
When the connection drops, the PCs show 'no internet connectivity' and the connection (wired or wireless) is dropped. Indication led's on router don't change, they all remain green as if the everything is perfectly fine. The solution is to reset the router and to wait the thing happens again randomly (within 30, 60 mins or so no rules) which is very annoying and frustrating.
I tried changing the UTP cable going from my providers switch to C6, no effect.
Had a latest firmware 1.3.6 Build 20201030 rel.60104, changed to beta 1.3.6 Build 20201030 rel.60104(4555). No effect whatsoever, everything remains just as same as before.
This is no ordinary issue as the router does not have a problem with WIFI, but with every type of connection ONLY on PCs.
Any solution other than throwing it in garbage?
I have a static IP and optic fibre internet connection. I'm using three USB WIFI sticks of different manufacturers along with standard LAN cards for wired connections.
The router was purchased 2 months before. It was running OK (with occasional glitches that were solved by simply restarting the PCs but not the router itself), but the problem gotten worse a couple of days ago since I mounted it on the wall close to power outlet and the fuse box in my apartment (it shouldn't matter or are we talking gremlins here?!?!).
Any suggestions?
I could provide logs and pics of installation if needed.
Cheers
PS
I've checked with ISP and their switch is functioning properly. They say it is something with the router
