Archer C1200 v2 management interface and Wifi dies after a little while.

I've seen this issue reported by a couple of people already and some say upgrading firmware solves it.
The issue is that after a while the route still works, you can ping the web interface but don't even load loading page. Also the Wifi is visible but doesn't give any network access.
Rebooting the router solves the issue for a little while.
It seems like v2 of the C1200 is the only version that did not get a 2017 update, it is still on 2016-11-30.
Any chance to get a firmware update to fix this issue? it's plaguing my network and it is really annoying.

Hi All,
Following initial research and investigation, our Engineering Team is confident that they've determined one of the key origins of the issue. From what we have gathered so far, the issue appears to be related to some recent releases of Android OS and Google Apps. This issue stems from these devices' "Cast" feature, which sends MDNS multicast discovery packets in order to keep a live connection with Google products such as Google Home. These packets normally sent in a 20-second interval. However, we have discovered that the devices will sometimes broadcast a large amount of these packets at a very high speed in a short amount of time. This occurs when the device is awakened from the "sleep mode", and could exceed more than 100,000 packets in a short amount of time. The longer your device is in "sleep", the larger this packet burst will be. This issue may eventually cause some of router’s primary features to shut down – including wireless connectivity.

Hi TechLoci,
Is there any test that you have done which lead you guess it maybe related to Chromecast?
I really love my chromecast.

Quick question for all the people who has this WiFi problem.
Do you have a Chromecast Gen1 ? Maybe this is the "bad" device that crashes all... ( version 1.29.104827)

Do you have Pixel 2? If I keep the phone off wifi, everything works fine.
It seems Google haven't fixed it.

I need to reboot Archer C1200 at least once a day for these 4 days.
This issue suddenly started from the middle of this month.
It was working for these 3 months.
I bought this in Japan, and versions are as follows.
Firmware Version: 1.1.2 Build 20171208 rel.49823 (JP)
Hardware Version: Archer C1200 V2.0
I updated the firmware today, but the issue is not resolved yet.
I have the following WiFi hardwares.
1) Laptop (Acer) with Intel AC7260 installed -> 5G
2) Laptop (Lenovo) with Intel AC7265 installed -> 5G
3) Huawei tablet -> 5G
4) Zenfone2 Laser -> 2.4G
5) Sharp SH-06E -> 5G
6) iphone 5 -> 2.4G
7) Chromecast (2nd gen) -> 5G
8) Nintendo WiiU -> 2.4G
9) Nintendo Switch -> 5G
Can this issue be resolved by coming new firmware?
Or is this hardware issue which cannot be resolved by firmware update?

Hello All,
I have TP-Link Archer C1200, HW: v3.0 FW: 3.0.1 Build 20171117 rel.57008 (US)
This unit seemed to run fine for 10 days or so but now requires multiple reboots per day in order to keep all devices up and running. I'm experiencing all the problems everyone else has mentioned in this thread.
FWIW, I do have a Chromecast v.2 on the network and a Chromecast v.1 that is not in use at this time. I have multiple wired and wireless devices.
I will shutdown my 5GHz access and also back down to WPA to see if this helps. My network is practically unusable at this point.
I suppose that I will email support with a copy of this info.

I am having the same issues that everyone here is reporting. I do have a chromecast, but I have had that for a few months and just recently started having these issues with wifi not working. I just sent an email in to at least document this. Would be nice to see a fix or even a replacement for a better working router.
Will keep looking here for updates.
