unstable connection after update
Router archer C80(US) ver: 2.20
Good morning, since last night I've been experiencing intermittent problems with my internet, and I would like to rule out that it's not due to the firmware update that was done automatically last night.
I've been looking for firmware versions on the tplink website, but it turns out that only EU firmware versions appear, while mine on the label says archer c80(US) ver 2.20, and I'm afraid to update and end up damaging it or being in a worse situation.
The router is working in router mode
I hope you can help me.

There are a few different cases related with unstable connection, including WAN connection unstable and wireless client devices unstable.
For WAN connection unstable (Router Internet LED turns red/orange occasionally):
1) Connect a PC directly into your modem to verify if your ISP Internet is stable.
2) Make sure the Ethernet cable between your modem and the Router is connected properly, replaced old cables with new ones.
3) Change the DNS Server of the Router, login to the web management interface of the Router, go to Advanced > Network > Internet > Advanced Settings, change the two DNS Servers into 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8.
4) Go to Advanced > System > Firmware Update to upgrade the firmware of the Router.
For wireless client devices, unstable:
1) Make sure the Router is properly placed, it should be put in an open area instead of inside a cabinet or shelf.
2) Login to the web management interface of the Router, go to Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings, change the wireless channel into another one.
3) For 2.4GHz wireless client devices, adjust 2.4GHz channel width into 20MHz, for 5G wireless client devices, adjust 5GHz channel width into 80MHz or 40MHz to avoid interference.
