Archer VR2100 - Randomly reboots several times a day.
Hi,
Had the Arccher Vr2100 a few eeks now and it reboots itself several times during a 24hr period.
Firmware up to date and cannot see and kind of schedules in the settings that would reboot it.
The logs do not show anything obvious.
Do i have a faulty device?

@Zajic should we be getting packet errors on upstream and downstream?

@PaulPP I´m thinking ideal is zero error rate. From one side i think higher speed DSL means high chance for errors (depends quality of DSL line). And i'm not sure if it is possible have DSL line with 0 errors. (but i didn't see errors until i changed to this modem - weird)
But on the other hand. I communicated with my ISP and they told me this errors are modem side problem. They diagnosed the DSL line. And problems started with Archer VR2100. So it looks like a modem problem. And because there are more of us here, it just confirms the problem.
We will see what next discover TP-LINK engineers.
So far, at least I like the fact that they communicate with us. Thank TPLINK for that.

Unfortunately i just had a reboot after 1 days 2 hours 50 minutes :(
I don't know what to say.

I haven't had any reboots for 3 days 12 hours. It seems for me that the powerline extenders may have been causing DSL interference which caused the router to reboot. Moving the main extender away from the phone line socket and router seems to have done the trick.

I am sorry to hear that the latest beta firmware hasn't fixed the issue. Now that I have been running the second hand FRITZ!Box 7530 since Thursday last week, I can report back some observations as follows:
1. No reboots/crashes in just over 5 days and it is has been 100% stable.
2. The number of lost packet/errors interestingly closely matches that of the VR2100. Note also that the FRITZ!Box is reporting almost all lost packet/errors are at the DSL central exchange and not at it's own modem.
3. Wi-Fi performance/range isn't quite as good as the VR2100 but at least it's Wi-Fi is 100% stable (no pauses/drop outs) unlike the VR2100.
4. More importantly, no "lost connection" complaints from the family since the replacement modem router has been installed!!

That is a very interesting observation. The frequencies used by VDSL and power line adapters do indeed overlap. I too have power line adapters although they are not that close to the cabling used by my DSL modem router. It is definitely worth making sure that the power line adapter and the DSL cabling/modem router are as far apart as possible.

This damn router doesn't obey the MAC reservation rules too. After some reboots, some devices -which have to gets the ip from mac reservation list- gets different IP addresses. I have to reboot 2 times to get the correct ip address. This causes ip conflict and make my Home Assistant useless because it reads some info from the devices via static ip.
Also as you can see i set my DNSs as 209.244.0.3 and 4 and i see this dns address on my devices but in the router main page, it shows DNS as 193.243.207.47-193.243.205.68. Why???
I just can't believe how much problem i had with this router!

For DNS go to Advanced -> Network -> Internet -> modify your WAN Interface -> little down you should see Advanced and you will see DNS ;)
It confused me too.
