Wan Connection is Intermittent, Troubleshooting Solutions
I've been experiencing intermittent WAN connection ever since installing my Archer C80's. I've updated the drivers, bridged my modem directly to my router, etc. What happens is that the wired devices and the wireless devices maintain a connection with the routers, but the internet is slow or intermittent. The routers themselves would have a light that flicker between orange and green. I have had to set the WAN port negotiation to 100mbps Full Duplex because there used to be an issue with the router dropping connections whenever Netflix is launched from our TV. Logging into both routers you will find a "Poor Network" notification. Tracert is slow from the TP Link Router, but this is not the case when my PC is plugged directly to the modem.
Here is my setup:
Modem - Archer C80 (A) - Archer C80 (B)
- Router A is Router mode, with DHCP and static addresses set up. Wireless is disabled.
- Router B is set up as a Wireless accesspoint
- There are approximately 30 devices connected to these routers.
Does anyone have the same problem with this router?
And does anyone have a solution for the intermittent WAN connection?
