Archer c6 "no internet access" and sometime not connecting to the wifi saying "limited connection"
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I've faced basiccally two kind of problems. Am I received a faultly product?
- Sometimes in some of my connected devices showing "no internet access" but at the same time the other routers connceted with same internet have internet access.
- Sometimes Some device could not connected to the router but the wifi are showing in the list. After some time of tring it show "limited connection" even I'm setting beside the router.
Every time at the time of problem I instantly connected to my another router which is tplink TL-WR841N, connected to the main WAN and that was working perfectly. Archer c6 is connected with the WR841n with wire and dynamic IP setup.
The problem always fixed every time after restart the router. I need to restart the router almost two to three times a day which the other one is on from long time. I've even forgot when I've turned off my WR841N.
Does I've received a faulty archer c6.

I believe, i have kind of same problem. Every 3-4 weeks, router shows no internet connection, green router led, which shows internet connection becomes orange. 2.4ghz and 5ghz connection dont work, wired connection also dont work. Where is 6-7 wireless devices and wired TV. Problem shows up after i update firmware to 1.3.6 build 20200902 rel. 65591. After rebot everything works fine for about 3-4 weeks.

Hello, thanks for reporting the issue to the community again, can I have more details then our engineers can try to investigate further?
1. Do you mean only the 2.4GHz wireless clients are disconnecting from the internet?
2. How many devices are connected to the C6 2.4GHz? Are all experiencing the same dropout or just some special or old clients? If the devices disconnected from the 2.4GHz/5GHz and cannot connect back, what is the error message?
3. Who is your ISP? When the C6 lost the internet connection, please login to its web interface and confirm if there is still a WAN IP address, what is it?

My answers:
1. Yes, only 2.4GHz wireless cleints are disconnecting, 5GHz wireless is disable all the time. 2.4GHz has set g/n type.
2. 5 devices (two smartphones, two notebooks and printer). Two devices (smartphone and notebook) are connected to guest network, 3 devices to main network. In Windows device try connect to WiFi and not return any error message, in Linux (one notebook with Linux) error message is about bad password.
3. Internet connection isn't lost. LEDs on router are good. After log in to router via cable settings of ISP are correct.
