@SubhX Same issues for me, Wired and 5Ghz always fine, 2.4 Ghz randonly dies. If I log onto the router and switch 2.4Ghz off and on it seems to come alive again.

 

So frustrating, we need a fix asap

@CaptainKirky 

 

Is your router Archer C6 or A6? How is it connected to the network? Is it working as the main router or as an access point?

@Kevin_Z I bought the C6 a few months ago, its just plugged into a Virgin 3 hub which is in modem mode

 

Again, Wired all fine, 5G fine, but 2.4G is a disaster (I need 2.4G to get to the Garage/Garden)

 

Seems this is a very widespread issue

I'm facing the same problem with several devices, some connected but no internet and some with limited connection, some devices won't connect to TP Link 2.4 ghz wifi I have a Chrome OS Ideapad duet that also errors out with "cannot connect out of range" even when in full network range. If its a firmware bug please fix this at the earliest by issuing an update, As it stands right now connection is very unreliable with TPLink Archer C6, I'm using it as the main router.

 

I've tried the fix mentioned in FAQ to no result

 

Current Firmware is up to date as of writing - 1.3.6 Build 20200902 rel.65591

@Kevin_Z 

 

This solution does not seem to work for me, is there anything else that I can try, any help would be appreciated or I'd need send it back as a defective unit.
