Hello
I've had an Archer C7 router for about a year and it worked perfectly. Suddenly, it started having problems: the system light would go on, and I could no longer connect to it via wifi or ethernet. The only way to reconnect was to turn it off and and back on.
I contacted TP Link and got a replacement. I installed it, and in 3 days the same issue started happening. I have tried updating the firmware and resetting the router to factory settings, but the problem keeps happening.
When I connect my devices directly to the internet jack on the wall, it works perfectly. I also tried connecting an older router that I had (from another brand) and it worked for several days with no issues.
I have no idea what the problem might be, and would appreciate help solving this issue.
Thank you

What happened to the Firmware download for C7 v3? The official support page no longer has an option to download firmware. There is an option to download firmware for V1, V2, and V4? BTW, when did V4 come out and does it fix the issues with Killer Wi-Fi adapters?
UPDATE: The old Firmware d/l is showing again for the C7 v3 and there is no longer a V4 showing as an option.

I'm having this same issue with the Archer C5 hardware v1.0. Is there an updated firmware available for that product, too?

Sorry but this topic is only for C7.
You may open a new separate ticket in other Topic.

This still doesn't work on my V2 C7 - is there another firmware coming that fixes the problem?
Killer N/A/C 1535 and dropped connections every 20 minutes is killing me...
Does the Beta EU firmware apply also to US (I'm guessing no, but has someone tried?)

Unfortionaly I also have to confirm;
When running latest drivers from the killer network site, and connecting to 2.4GHz band that causes network freeze (restart of a router is required).
It drives me nuts!! I am seriously considering changing Archer C7 v2 for another brand that will work!
Wifi card: Killer network 1525Diver Date 8.04. 2017
Diver Version 12.0.0.309
Router: Archer C7 v2
Oh, and also. Recently we encounter some random wifi drops, where there isn't a killer network device in the area. Looks like Killer network cards+drivers+TP-link drivers are just a top of the iceberg.
