Model: Archer VR300  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 0.8.0 v00a2.0 Build 210827 Rel.70593n

Just noticed router date was at 2016. Before reprogram.

Also connection slowing down cutting out with pks errors. I reboot or disconnect / reconnect fixes it for a day.

For some time now.

 

Internet goes slow to stop after approx 3 million DNS requests on one lan port to wifi. I run 3 Piholes with one dnsmasq server so i can kill a pihole or two and still have internet.

 

I have two 8 port TP-link switches connected in the network. One port in use on router.

 

I have reprogrammed Build 210827 Rel.70593n firmware.

see how it goes.

NBN Required features (not enabling these will result in a locked port)
G.INP / G.998.4: Enabled
G.Vector / G.993.5: Enabled
SRA (Seamless Rate Adaptation): Enabled
SOS (Save Our Showtime): Enabled
ROC (Robust Overhead channel): Enabled

 

Does the VR300 have all these options?
