@hamadauno I managed to make it work by clicking for 1 second on the back of the router, and than clicking it again

 

However it won't keep it up all the time, this is likely a firmware issue, tok bad tp-link didn't bother to release a fix.

 

Just bought it today, going to return the router

@hamadauno 

Good day.

Sorry for the delay.

Could you please verify if all the devices could not see the 5ghz

Were they able to detect any other 5ghz networks?

Have you tried to change the wireless channel--40 and channel width—40mhz on the Archer VR400 to have a look?

Thank you very much.

@Tnimni 

Hi, sorry for the delay.

May I know which button on the back of the router did you click, the reset button or Wi-Fi button?

Did you mean after clicking, the 5ghz would show up temporally, the disappear again

 

Have you tried to update the firmware to be the latest one:

ArcherVR400(EU)_V2_200706

Thank you very much.

@Sunshine 

I continue to have problems with 5ghz band after the latest firmware, like not showing, ping spikes, packet loss, disconects, long time to connect and range is very limited (1 wall only after 2 it drops out)).

My area has no other wifi so its not congestion related

Olso Qos is unusable if i set the speed the isp gives the devices get half of that and it dosent help with bufferfloat. Even if it worked the manual rule list is so much work, its not worth it and i could'nt find any database files online

The good thing is the 2.4ghz wifi its twice the range of my old router and faster

@guZ 

I finally solved the issue and 5GHz band works flowless. 

Was just a fw problem, I updated to version 

0.6.0 0.9.1 v0070.0 Build 200713 Beta.34548n 

And now everything is ok. 

There is also a nice new pleasant web interface. 

Cheers

@guZ Hi all, 

 

I have a problem with my Archer VR400: 5G WIFI is NOT working.

I have followed several indication in the community:

- Firmware Update --> I have update the to the last FW available in the TP-LINK Italian site: Archer_VR400V2_0.4.0_0.9.1_up_boot(201104)_2020-12-01_17.09.03

  but it doesn't work.

- New FW update with the 0.6.0 0.9.1 v0070.0 Build 200713 Beta.34548n --> it doesn't work.

 

I always get the error code whenever I try to save the changes in WIFI 5G:

Codice Errore:9805

Caso corrispondente non trovato

 

I do hope that TP-LINK Community can help me!!

Thank you in advance,

@teisala 

Ciao, 

0.6.0 0.9.1 v0070.0 Build 200713 Beta.34548n version works with Hardware version VR400 V2. 

Did you check that? You find it in the router main web page once logged in. 

I updated to that version and my issue was resolved (5ghz was dropping clients randomly) 

Fammi sapere 

Ciao

@SabrinaC

Yes, of course I have checked it.

My Archer router is: VR400(EU) Ver.2.0

S/N:217C541000855.

Currently is loaded the FW: 0.6.0 0.9.1 v0070.0 Build 200713 Beta.34548n

and 5G WIFI doesn't work.

 Ciao

Fabrizio
