Archer C6 2.4G band stops working, disable then enable restores
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Recently purchased Archer C6 Router running the latest firmware. On 4 occasions the 2.4G WiFi band has stopped working, devices can connect to it but get no network access. Disabling and enabling the 2.4G band on the admin interface restores the connectivity, the 5G band is not affected, a device connected to it is used to reset the 2.4G band.
I used the chat support service to discuss the issue and the suggestion was to change from automatic to a fixed channel for the 2.4G band, this appeared to resolve the issue but it has happened again today, a phone which only works on 2.4G was showing the WIFI as access denied.
is there anything else I can do to resolve this issue.

By the way, what about onemesh and why is the thread magically always responding with "server error" when I try to post something...?

Hello all, sorry to respond late.
If the 2.4G network of you Archer A6(EU)_V2 is not stable after working a period of time, please try to upgrade to the below beta firmware to give it a go:

Hello,
The beta firmware I posted was only for Archer C6(EU)_V2, so it will not work for the Archer C60.
Do you have the same issue with the Archer C60 2.4G disconnect issue? If the behavior is not the same, it is suggested to open another thread, which I think will be more convenient for you and others to review, thanks.

Has anybody tried this 1.3.6 beta? I have to work and don't have time to change the router to test it.

@adios I was just about to install it right now but 1.3.5 Build 20200630 rel.57406 appeared. We will see in couple of hours if 1.3.5 helps. Or should we try this beta after all...

Hi,
Sorry I have not given any explanation. There are many users that installed the 1.3.6 Beta Firmware for Archer C6 EU V2 to cure many bugs that came with 1.3.0 .
There are many threads here in the forum with wifi bugs, where users installed Beta 1.3.6. Some got their problems fixed some don`t.
I`ve tested exact the same build to fix the 2.4GHZ bug 2 weeks ago, this build is from 11th June. With no success.
Which means for me that there is no solution for all at the moment. It could be some special wireless client or so.
But now Im testing the 1.3.5 build which is much newer. Enabled 2.4GHZ guest network and will see... .
Got it stable with 1.3.4 and disable 2.4ghz guest network.
