TP-Link Archer AX53 Firmware Lag Issue – Request for Fix

Model: Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.3 Build 20240530

Dear TP-Link Support Team,

 

I am using the TP-Link Archer AX53 router, and I am experiencing noticeable lag issues that appear to be related to the firmware.

 

### Problem Description:

- The web interface (admin panel) often **lags**, freezes, or loads very slowly.

- Sometimes changes like applying settings, switching menus, or enabling features (like VPN, Port Forwarding, etc.) cause delays or timeouts.

- Even after rebooting, the interface becomes unresponsive after some usage.

- In some cases, connected devices experience **short network drops or latency spikes**, especially when accessing the router's management page or when it is under moderate load.

 

These issues seem to be firmware-related, as hardware temperature and load are normal, and the same setup works fine on older models or different brands.

 

### Details:

- Model: TP-Link Archer AX53

- Hardware Version: [Insert version, e.g., V1.20]

- Firmware Version: [Insert firmware version, e.g., `1.1.3 Build 20240530`]

 

### Request:

Please investigate the firmware performance and memory handling issues on the AX53. A smoother and more stable firmware update would significantly improve the user experience for both regular users and power users.

 

Looking forward to your support and a firmware fix.

 

Best regards

Hi@md_himelali_18,

Welcome to our community.

 

May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:

ISP modem—router)))((( client devices

(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

Can I know when the lag started? Did it start after the firmware update?
What clients are connected to the router? Please reduce the number of clients connected and the number of ongoing activities.

 

As for the firmware, no relevant update notification has been received yet.

 

Is your old router still in use? Please compare the old router to see if it has similar problems?
If the old router can run normally, please try Mac clone for Archer AX53_V2: How do I configure MAC Address Clone
