Archer c6 "no internet access" and sometime not connecting to the wifi saying "limited connection"
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I've faced basiccally two kind of problems. Am I received a faultly product?
- Sometimes in some of my connected devices showing "no internet access" but at the same time the other routers connceted with same internet have internet access.
- Sometimes Some device could not connected to the router but the wifi are showing in the list. After some time of tring it show "limited connection" even I'm setting beside the router.
Every time at the time of problem I instantly connected to my another router which is tplink TL-WR841N, connected to the main WAN and that was working perfectly. Archer c6 is connected with the WR841n with wire and dynamic IP setup.
The problem always fixed every time after restart the router. I need to restart the router almost two to three times a day which the other one is on from long time. I've even forgot when I've turned off my WR841N.
Does I've received a faulty archer c6.

Same problem like the one from Chetas:
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/231748
Router:
Archer C6 (1.3.6 Build 20200902 rel.65591(4555))
Operation Mode: Access Point
Adapter:

Download speed drops from full speed to zero, than back up to full speed then zero, and so on...
Is there any solution?

@Koriander It's suggested to install the beta firmware we provided here on the Archer C6, then disable Onemesh to check again if you can get a stable connection.

I'm currently using 1.3.6 Build 20201030 rel.60104(4555) ( BETA ) on my Archer C6v 2.0 and now I see something new weird. Most of devices could connect to 2.4GHz network but not Xiaomi MI Security 360 Camera. It connects once for ten times or even less. I thought first that maybe that cam is broken but I disabled 2.4GHz WiFi on Archer C6 and plugged cheap Tenda WiFi 2.4 GHz router where I setup same network name as on Archer, camera connects every time without any issue. Is there any chance that this router will support stable 2.4 GHz again? I don't want to install openWRT or other firmwares, because I read that 5 GHz is not working there so well ( and this one is preffered for my mobile devices ).
UPDATE/SOLVED
This was because of 2.4 GHz WiFi channel width. I changed from 40 MHz to 20 MHz and everything is working like charm.
