Archer A7 losing internet connection
Since this morning, my router would randomly lose its internet connection. First thought it was my ISP and called them but they had me plug my computer directly to the modem through ethernet and internet access worked. They suggested factory resetting the router and it seemed to fix things. Everything worked for a few hours until the router would lose internet connection again. Factory reset again and connection came back. Again, it only lasted a few hours and I have to repeat the process again every time it loses the connection. Please help!

My A7 (also running FW 1.1.4, build 20211022 rel. 58866 (5553)) started dropping the internet this morning after many months of being stable. Strange that this started out of the blue.
Rebooting the router resolved the problem for a couple hours and then it dropped again. After the third drop, I checked and found that there was a newer FW release in March 2022:

The release note doesn't describe my problem, but I updated anyway. Hopefully this will stabilize my connection.

I have a similar issue. 1.2.0 Build 20211210 rel.56314(5553) Ever since I upgraded to this issue, every few days I have to reset the router. Various symptoms. - wireless won't connect - ethernet won't connect Since those are the main issues I don't know whether it's connected to the internet or not. I guess I will try this March update even though it doesn't show up as "update available". Thanks!
Oh, well I guess this IS the latest update, referred to by the previous poster.
Maybe it's time to look for a new router.
