Need a bit more info. Is it both WIFI and Ethernet that fails? What lights are you seeing on the router and on the modem when it is working and when it fails? Does it recover on its own or do you have to do something? Have you checked to see if it is your service by connecting a PC direct to the modem bypassing the router? Any new devices added or changed about the time of the failures started. If your ISP is also your cable/TV service, did anything change there? Is you firmware up to date? ...

On wif only on both 2.4 and 5.0ghz. No wired. when it works it works fine.. I think when several family members try to login at same time maybe it just loses connection. Strange. No Wired.. all wireless only!. A9 Version 6 of firmware. Hey look many people are having problems and I think this issue can be solved quite quickly if there are firmwares that can maybe gently move a login 5.0ghz to a 2.4ghz instead of totally losing connection. Many are working from home.Thanks

@PhillipKing 

 

There was an issue mentioned with the A9 that if reserved devices contained a space or "-" in the description that would cause connection issues. (Advanced > Network > DHCP Server).

 

If everything is running via DHCP, I would continue to follow up with support as that would be the best router to take. The wireless radio may be bad.

@PhillipKing 

same thing here. I've using the A9 Archer AC1900 for a few months now and during the last 2 weeks it has started to drop its wifi signal (2.4, not using 5.ghz)

Wireless devices (laptops, cellphones) would not be ale to connect to the internet, BUT a wired PC plugged to the back of the A9 has internet connection all the time. It is only happening with wifi signal. When this happens it maiy take a couple of minutes and then the wifi is back up and running. Lights on the front of the unit look normal when this is happening. Sometimes if it takes longer I power cycle the unit.

 

No changes in configuration, no new devices added, last firmaware update was done in april 2020 (version 1.1.0).

It's bee nworking fine for months, up until a couple of weeks ago.

I logged into the A9 web interface, and there are no errors reported anywhere, the logs don't show any error or failiure.

 

Very annoying.....

@Cara Yes Logs show nothing. I heard that A10 routers have a Beta Bios that corrects this issue. CAN ANYONE here confirm or is there a way we can use this or modify it. It sometimes disconnects when in 5g only I confirm. On 2.4ghz it is ok

@TPissues-new On my case the 2.4Ghz is the one having issues (disconnects), the 5Ghz is fine, I tested it with my phone and the 5Ghz stays connected even though the 2.4ghz is not. I had 2 cellphones (side by side) one on 2.4Ghz and the other on 5ghz. I opened a support ticket with TP Link and they are goign to RMA (replace) my A9 router.
