This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Lately, my internet connection has been dropping internet connection at random intervals (could be 30 min to 4 hours between drops) and when I check the router when the connection is lost, it always asks to configure DNS manually. I've tried switching to the google DNS and openDNS and the problem still persists.
After a while (~5-10 minutes) the connection comes back and the configure DNS manually message is gone
Prior to last week the internet connection had been solid with no problems for a span of about 6 months
Note:
I have a DSL connection
any help would be appreciated, thanks

Same for me...
Sometimes it recovers by itself, sometimes a reboot from the admin web page is needed...
This began around 4 months ago.
Last firmware update was applied more than a year ago.
The router was purchased in February 2019...
Hope it's not dying after only a 1 1/2 year...

@fgladu I gave up, will never by tp link again. It would drop multiple times daily... So many meetings, games, shows to reboot I just had enough. Stupid company won't support their product for a regular lifetime... Nevermore

@Matluck this has been going on with me for a while now. I thought it was bad internet quality. I tried speed tests directly connected and they were fine. This router is not good and the firmware doesnt solve the issue.
Apparently it can't handle more than. 8 devices regardless of their usage. I bought an Asus router with mu-mimo tech and I'm done with tp-link.
I loved the c7 Soni bought a his ac3200 and it made me hate tp-link.

Hey guys,
I reflashed the firmware to the same version it was (Archer C3200(US)_V1_170707) and I only had one interner drop since...
Is this really the las firmware for this router?
We have 35 hosts connected to the router.
Hope this helps!

Same problem here : Archer C2300 v1.0, firmware 2.0.3 Build 20180611 Rel. 77668. It looks like TP has not update this firmware in over 2 years.
That's one way to loose customers.
