Archer AX53 drops connection frequently
Hello everyone,
I have been having some trouble setting up my home network just the way I like it and I feel I'm on the last step but unfortunately I'm blocked by a weird issue with connection drops. They happen all the time and I'm running out of ideas what the issue could be.
My topology is the following:
- ISP-provided router with Wi-Fi disabled
- 2 Archer AX53 routers connected to it running in AP mode with DHCP disabled and static IPs.
ISP router details:
LAN IP: 192.168.1.1
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Pool: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.250
Primary DNS: 212.39.90.52
Secondary DNS: 212.39.90.53
On this router I've also set 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.1.253 to be statically assigned to both Archer routers by MAC address.
Archer AX34 configuration (for both):
LAN IPs: 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.1.253 (these are outside the DHCP pool of the ISP router)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Primary DNS: 212.39.90.52
Secondary DNS: 212.39.90.53
Both Archer routers drop connection every couple of minutes where the WAN LED goes orange and then goes back to green. This is the system log of one of them but the other one has virtually the same messages. This log has been captured after a factory reset and reconfiguration as an AP:
