Archer A8 wifi disappears at night...needs reboot often
My router: tp-link Archer A8 (US) Ver 2.20,
For several evenings in a row, my wifi network seems to disappear.
Here's the typical series of events:
- I'm cruising the web on my desktop which is conneced via the LAN 1 port. That's a pass through ethernet connection to the web.
- I put the desktop in sleep mode, or power it down.
- I go to bed and use my laptop which uses wifi, and discover that there is no connection to wifi.!! Same with phone (s).!!!
- I power cycle the router, and after a few minutes, the wireless network is available.
I rarely have problems with the wifi connections during the day . I have several devices that use wifi. All connect.
The problem occurs only at night. I usually experience of the problem around 11 pm at night.
I have already reset the router to factory settings.
It has been happening more frequently over the last couple weeks, and when I go to bed to read, I'd like to stay in bed rather than get up to reboot the router.
Am I the only person with such a problem?
There's no logical explanation of such behavior except wireless schedule feature configured:
If that's not the case make sure you're with the latest FW release (currently Archer A8(US)_V2.20_1.13.2 Build 230824) - here. Test again.
There's a beta FW v1.13.7 for your router model, which addresses some issues with FW v1.13.2 if you're willing to try it - details.
If the issue persists contact your local support for further support.
