Archer VR2800 (AC2800) DNS drop out error
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : 0.3.0 0.9.1 v006c.0 Build 170809 Rel.42095n
ISP : iinet
Hi there,
My TP-Link VR2800 (Hardware version: Archer VR2800 v1 00000000) drops internet connection with connected devices with annoying regularity.
Current connected devices:
Apple TV (wired)
[*]Xbox 360 (wired)
[*]iPhone
[*]iPad mini
[*]Samsung Edge S7
[*]Nintendo Switch
[*]Dell XPS 15 laptop
When web surfing on the laptop, there are periods where DNS/timeout errors are returned in Chrome:
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET
The suggestions I've seen are to reboot the router which does work but it can get these DNS errors every few minutes at times.
- I've checked the logs and the DSL connection is seemingly stable.
- I've set DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
I don't know how to diagnose this any further. Any ideas?
Cheers,
IMD.

Hi,
Do you have IPV6 enabled?
I have a VR2800 with same firmware and do not experience any problem with IPV4.
But... With IPV6 enabled DNS resolution is not working by default, I have to force to Google IPV6 DNS manually in "Advanced","Network", "Internet Settings" configuration page :
This is currious because I can see VR2800 is able to retrieve my ISP's IPV6 DNS, but I cannot join them. Replacing them with Google DNS correct the issue. Maybe related to my ISP's /56 ipv6 prefix.
