Router TP-Link experiencing unpredictable internet problems
Router TP-Link experiencing unpredictable internet problems
For some time now I've faced an bothersome problem where my devices suddenly lose internet access even though they display as connected to Wi-Fi. The router appears to have all lights functioning properly, and wired connections generally work fine. It's a dual-band model with separate 2.4 and 5GHz channels. Initially, 5GHz devices seemed to drop first, followed by some 2.4GHz ones. I also experienced this issue last night when trying to log into the router settings via the TP Link app—it reported no connected devices. The most frustrating part is that there doesn't seem to be a consistent pattern regarding which devices or when it occurs. The only solution I've tried is restarting the router, but it tends to repeat within a few days, sometimes even more than once in a single day. I've attempted factory resets and updated the firmware, yet neither resolved the issue. My TP Link Archer VR600 model is still the same.
