Archer C5 AC1200 Wifi drops frequently
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : Archer C5
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 3.14.1 Build 141126 Rel.62171n
ISP : Virgin Media
Hey guys, I was hoping to get some advice on this... As this is becoming beyond a joke now, this is my second TP-Link router (previous one was different model), and this is the 2nd time something appears to working under performance. Essentially, my WiFi drops frequently on a day to day basis, there are good days where it won't but this is becoming more frequent now. I've configured various settings, like changing the channels from auto to selecting a custom channel to setting up the DHCP so all of my devices don't jump from one IP to another (does this even matter? Or is it just helpful?). I notice it happens more often when my house mates get home after the gym but surely having multiple devices on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz isn't the source of the problem. Additionally, this occurs on most but not all devices. So last night my PC, phone and Xbox were perfectly fine. Although my friends phones and Mac couldn't even connect to the WiFi anymore, then my PC randomly drops. Reseting the router fixes this for a few hours but it's very bad that I need to reset the router every few hours.
Any help is highly appreciated.
