A2300 (C2300) 5ghz Connection Drops out and can't reconnect
A2300 (C2300) 5ghz Connection Drops out and can't reconnect
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : 2.0.2 Build 20180123 rel 73742
ISP : Comcast
I used to use a Archer C7 for a while until it became very unstable and the 5ghz line would drop consistently even after FW update so I replaced with a A2300 from Walmart (C2300). I setup and updated to the latest firmware. The router is attached to a TPLink Docsis 3 model.
There are about 11 devices connected to the router but only a few are in use at any given time. These include 2 Laptops, 2 Phones (GOOGLE PIXEL and S7), Roku TV, Chromecast, 2 Fire Sticks, 2 Google Homes and Google Dot.
[*]What has begun to happen is the 5ghz line just drops out on certain devices and I can't reconnect with a soft boot. I need to pull the plug and restart.
[*]Yesterday for instance, my Roku TV and Google Pixel dropped out off the 5ghz line but all others remained connected. When attempting to reconnect they would say obtaining IP for a while then either not connect or say "connected, no internet"
I am a little Po'ed as this is the 2nd TP Link Router I have owned with issues and I can't return the router since its past the 45 day mark and I literally just setup 1 week ago.

@Flyersman I also have a similar issue with a three-day old C2300. Wifi network access spontaneously breaks after some hours. Android/iOS and Windows devices are unable to connect on either 2.4 or 5Ghz connections reporting 'authentication problems'. Reboot fixes it, until it breaks again.
I'd like some guidance on how to further diagnose the issue.

@Flyersman Having a similar issue with my TP-Link A2300 on the latest firmware, have had it for a little over a year. This started happening at the start of October when there were no issues previously.
5Ghz will be working fine, attaining max speeds for my ISP for a little bit then suddenly become unstable and then be unable to connect. This happens simultaiously across all devices connected to the 5Ghz. Waiting about 30 mins to 1 hour lets me reconnect and it takes about a few hours before connection stablizes.
2.4Ghz works fine through out the entire time.
What is going on here?

Same problem for me. Setup the router fine and now nothing can connect to 5ghz. I had 5ghz working for about 12hours after setup. I have rebooted, changed channels, security, everything.
