Model: Archer AX72  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.6 Build 20240619 rel.72016(5553)

I'm having this issue with LAN CABLE beeing disconnected from my router time to time.

 

Tested my computer directly with my ISP router and everything works fine also tested with my old router and everything works fine.

 

Sometimes takes a lot of time for dropping but other times keep ocurring directlly.

 

I found other similar threads about this as well but without any public solution.

 

I really need help on this since I use my home networking for work.

Yes, I assume so.

 

A 15-20 meter Ethernet cable built into the wall might affect network connectivity, especially if the cable is old or of lower quality. Generally, Ethernet cables can transmit data effectively over such distances, but factors like cable type (e.g., Cat5e, Cat6), age, and installation quality can impact performance. If the cable is damaged or not up to current standards, it may lead to slower speeds or connectivity issues.

 

If possible, it's suggested to test the connectivity with a new Cat5e or Cat6 cable.

 

Please let the community know if replacing the cable helps with the LAN connectivity issue. Thank you very much.

Hi,

 

Please test with different Ethernet cables and different LAN ports on the router.

And also check if the other wired or wireless devices also have unstable issue when connected to the router.

  @Sunshine 

 

Thanks for your answer. 

 

I did the following test:

 

1 - ~1 hr of test using a network cable test device (testing every single wire in the cable) in both ends of the cable >> 100% success rate

2 - Different devices (laptop and both Playstation's 4 and 5) with the same cable

3 - The problem is occurring in a really random time. Sometimes I spent over 4 hrs direct without any issue. But sometimes I face this problem recurring like the log I shared (5 times disconnecting and re-connecting in 2 minutes window).

 

I'm really sure it's not the cable problem here.

 

Os: Both flow control option in LAN menu are disabled (RX and TX).

Have you tested the connectivity with a different cable? I understand you've tested the existing cable quality and it's good, but I still suggest testing the connectivity with another cable.

 

BTW, how long is the cable between the AX73 and your PC? It's also suggested to try with a shorter cable.

  @Kevin_Z - Not tested with another cable (I can do that);

 

The distance between the router and my PC is pretty long btw. I would say between 15 and 20 metters (due the path inside the walls in my house). Do you think this could be a problem??
