In my opinion (as everything seems to show that it maybe a hardware problem) never.

 

@Kubas it cannot be a hardware problem since Open-WRT firmware works perfectly fine with it.

I have the same problem. Sometimes the 2.4G network works fine for more than a week, and sometimes it stops working twice the same day.

So far I tried the suggested solutions:

- Disabled WPS.

- Enabled 2.4G Guest network.

- WPA2/PSK AES Encryption.

- Changed the channel width to 20MHz although I bought the router EXCLUSIVELY to use the Smart Connect functionality and it can't do both.

 

FW version: 1.3.6 Build 20200902 rel.65591(4555)

HW Version: Archer C6 v2.0

Hi,

 

I have tried many things with no success, but after many tries this works for me since 3 weeks :

- disable smart connect

- disable 5GHz band

- 2.4GHz = version : auto / encryption : AES / mode : 802.11b/g/n mixed / channel width : 20MHz / channel : 6

- disable WPS

 

you can try this ;)

Hi

Thank you! I'll give it a try, but I don't think dissabling half the wifi funcionalities is a valid long term solution. 

This bug seems to be widespread accross almost all TP-Link Archer routers and it's been more than a year without a valid solution :(

Yes but waiting a new firmware it could be an alternative solution...

 

I do this and now waiting a new one lol

Guys, finally solved the issue.

 

After over a year of no onemesh, then Instable wifi and onemesh not in sight for the powerline repeaters, I was finally done with tp-link. 

 

Bought a set (3) of tenda nova mw3 for 80 bucks. Perfect wifi on my whole apartment. 

 

So easy and it's just working as expected. 

 

This should be marked as the best solution. 

 

Bye guys, have fun over here.

@QWERTZ I bought another brand too, but keep an eye in this forum just to see when it is solved. My tplink C6 has OpenWRT for months, and is used as a wifi bridge in client mode. Perfect this way. Hardware is good.Onemesh, wpa3... too much for a cheap router. I need less features, but running ok.

What I have noticed is...

 

This problem only occurred to me when

My Guest 2.4ghz SSID is enabled!

 

Disabled it... And the problem hasn't occurred in a while.

 

The main 2.4ghz SSID is working absolutely fine.

This should be ok but not for me for example...

 

My guest 2.4ghz was never activated and have issues...
