My Archer A7 router drops internet for a few seconds a few times per day. It's pretty disruptive when it happens. The router log says has lines like "teardown and release" shortly followed by "send dhcp release ip 170.x.x.x" for each occurrence.

Is there any fix available for this issue? Any setting I can turn off or something? As far as I can tell I'm on the most recent firmware version. I've found a few threads on this topic but they didn't shed much light. It's pretty disruptive during the workday when I need a stable internet connection.

"the "Teardown and Release" issue should have been addressed already"

A couple of the threads have comments asking for this info:

If any of you still encounters the "Teardown and Release" issue, please confirm some basic information as below:

1. Who is your ISP, and what is the WAN connection type on the A7/C7, Dynamic IP or PPPoE?
   - ISP: Hotwire Communications
   - WAN connection type: Dynamic IP

2. Check and ensure the internet line or ISP modem is stable, bypassing the TP-Link router. Connect the PC directly to the ISP modem (or internet cable from wall), test and monitor the internet connectivity, ensure you have a stable connection.

    - Tried it, had no issues when the router is cut out of the picture by directly connecting my laptop to the ISP modem
