@scouk I am facing same problem. router freezes any time and no solution but to power restart. Everything was working untill I turn ON Parrental Control now it's turn off but every day router hangs and need to be power restart (router web not load, internet not working only power reset helps until next day).

Now I turn off Wifi 5GHz and turn on parrent control and see what happens.

Hi,

In my case the problems appeared after turning on the “trafic monitor”, turning it off was an issue as well, every attempt resulted in “error 9004” popup.

Eventually I managed to turn it off, and since then the router works flawlessly.

Regards,

@DBS Interesting one. Just disabled the traffic monitor on mine and so far device portal is responding quickly via web browser.

Had the same problem as you with error 9003 but a quick google discovered that the internet connection must be disconnected first. The voila I was able to stop traffic monitoring and re-connect the internet.

Could be traffic monitor taking up excessive CPU and/or resources.

Will continue to monitor...

@scouk Yep, it sems that turn off monitor traffic gives beter web respnsing now I will check that this was responsible for my other problems with router. I think if it will work OK for 3-4 days it will be good test.

I use monitor because few months ago I had some bug in my server and only high traffic showed me its presece. 

I'm having the same problem, it's just completely locks up after approximately 24 hours, if it wasn't for this problem it would be perfect for me. I have now disabled the traffic monitor and I'll see if that happens to stop the unresponsive/locked up VR600. 

Just thought I'd chime in so TP can see it's happening to a few more users. 

To add, I am with Sky Fibre, I'm signed upto the 52mb package, though I generally hover around the 30-36mb mark. Once the VR600 becomes unresponsive I'm unable to connect to it at all, even via ethernet, a reboot fixes that. 

@DBS 

lt has been a month since I turned the traffic monitor off, and I believe I did not have a lockdown since.

@DBS  Granted its just over 24 hours but so far so good for me too. Fingers crossed! 

Does sound like we have a solution here!

For anyone new reading this:

1) Login to Router

2) Select Advanced menu (at the top)

3) Under System Tools > Traffic Monitor (disable the traffic monitor (Note you may have to disconnect the DSL connection first before it will let you disable it

Did this a while back and never had any blips since. Although the harm was done on my UK FTTC connection and where I was once getting sync speeds of 75Mbit+ It's been sitting aroudn 60Mbit for ages due to the unreliability the router had for a while before finding this solution. The connection may recover after enough time shame as the line is capable of much more the downstram SNR can easily handle lower then 8.4 and stuill be reliable.

My VR600 v2 has the same problems with crashing and locking up. Symptoms are exactly the same: no internet on any device (wlan or lan), no access to admin page, even mobile app Thether cannot connect to the router. The only solution is to reboot the router.

It only happens once a week so not that bad comparing to other users but still annoying. I've never used Traffic Monitor and it's disabled since I bougth the router several months ago.
