New Archer A20 V3 is constantly restarting every few minutes. Thought at first it was just wireless dropping off, but realized the device is entirely rebooting over and over.
My testing appears to show that these reboots only occur if I have multiple wireless bands enabled at once and I have clients connected to several. If I only have a single Wireless Radio enabled (and it can be any, 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz-1, or 5Ghz-2) and the others disabled, that my connection remains stable.
I am on Firmware 1.0.3 Build 20191026 re.16299, which I updated to immediately upon initial setup. I can't find an older firmware to fall back on, and Factory Reset brings it back to same firmware version--any way to get an older version?
Happy to provide additional information or try other configuration options.

The drive that does NOT work is 4TB exFAT.
The same drive, in the same enclosure, worked when it was formatted HFS+. I had to reformat it since I couldn't write to it when it was formatted HFS+
The 4TB exFAT works fine on Mac machines when plugged directly to the machine (both Macbook Pro and iMac Pro).
I have tested another drive that is 8TB HFS+ which works fine (as read only).

My apologies, what is the model of the 4TB. Once I get that I will look into it to see what I can find.

Same issue here. I plugged in an external hard disk drive and then the A20 just started constantly and consistently power cycling.
Its a WD My Book 10TB with its own dedicated power supply.

The problem was solved when I convereted the drive to NTFS. Kind of a drag since I'm entirely Mac but it seemed to be the only solution.
I now have a new issue with it, which is that I can't access the drive from machines running Catalina.
