Hi, brand new Archer AC1200. Several times, I've left the wifi range, and when i re-entered, my mobile devices (android phones) will not automatically reconnect. Further, when i manually try to reconnect (both 2.4 and 5gh), it tries, but fails to connect. This has happened with different mobile devices. However, the router continues to provide stable wireless and wired connections to devices that remain in range. When i restart the router, the devices will connect automatically. Anyone else with this problem?

I have the same issue. I have reset to factory settings but the problem still exist after a reset.
There is another thread about it, http://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?101240-Archer-C1200-v2-management-interface-and-Wifi-dies-after-a-little-while.

Hello, I'm the one who made downgrade and I just had the same problem, with base firmware 160918. I thought it would be solved when returning to the original firmware, but the problem continues. I had to restart the router to make it work. I do not understand well what happened in this time. I bought this router in August, and it worked without problems this time until the beginning of December, when I first updated firmware 170706.

Thanks for following up on this thread, everyone. I really want to love this router - range and speed are fantastic, but unless it is 100% reliable I just can't use it. So far, it sounds like there is no solution - downgrading the firmware doesn't sound like it worked. Let's keep pushing the engineers on this - seems like it is something that should be fixable.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon. Do these routers auto update firmware ? Purchased mine Oct 30. Never updated firmware and December 18th it stopped working as my access point. Reset and worked for the night . Next day same thing. Unable to connect and password incorrect. Reset router and reset up my access point and only worked again for 1 day.

I changed my router to 2.4 Ghz only, deactivating the 5Ghz band, as a last resort, two days ago. Since then everything is working without problems, no interruption in the Wi-Fi connection. At the moment it seems that it is more stable. I'll leave it this way until I wait for the firmware update. I imagine that the problem is related to the 5 Ghz wifi signal. I will report news.

Do you mind to feedback all your issues and solution to TP-Link tech support as below. Currently they really need help from users to provide feedback and results of testing.
support@tp-link.com

Because my issues is same as yours but until now their RnD team can't find the root cause.

Hello
Although I know that it is not a definitive solution, as a provisional measure to improve the stability of the router, I have tried to configure the 2G and 5G networks with WPA and TKIP (instead of WPA2 and AES) but the performance is very bad.
With WPA2 + AES the performance exceeds 170 Mbps
With WPA + TKIP the performance barely exceeds 20 Mbps
Probably because it has no HW acceleration for WPA + TKIP
Therefore this option is not a valid solution even as a provisional measure.
Regards.
