Hi My TP Link AV600 has the following details TP-WPA4220 V4.0 / 4.0.3 20190326 Rel 43406 When the device stops broadcasting wi-fi then powering it on and off tends to fix the problems - the problem seems to reoccur about every 2 days. It is as if it has had its radio turned off. I have in the past few weeks bought this product 2 times - and both have the same strange issue. On the first one, the radio did not work straight out of the new box - the 2 plugs would pair but no wifi - it needed a couple of factory resets for the radio/wifi to appear. The extender unit is plug into a mains socket behind a sofa so there is no way anyone can touch it. I also sometime get a no internet message, but that tends to sort itself out over a 10 or 15 mins - my main hub remains connected and working at all times. It is very odd that 2 brand new units appear to have the same random hardware/software fault causing the radio to turn off. Thanks Ian

@Ian1958 I have the same problem and I have the same firmware (4.0.3 Build 20190326 Rel.43406). Probably Tp-link will not fix it, they have V5 but that will not work on this just purchased hardware TL-WPA4220 v4.0, it will even cause my Wifi on my Laptop to crash, and when I use a cable (ethernet) it will freeze as well in 2 days. Will return the router to the shop.

This is really bad design. Chinese manufactury probably.

I have the same problem - the TP-link AV600 is quite frankly rubbish - I have followed all the instructions, turned everything off, started from scratch etc etc. The system is fatally flawed - one moment one is watching Netflix and the next there is no Wifi, for absolutely no reason. Netflix still works on the computer at the router BUT the TP-link network crashes. Ours crashed 2 weeks ago and hasn't come back in spite of trying half a dozen reboots. We've cancelled Netflix as a result and can only say that the system is an utter waste of space. We have struggled with it for 2 years and it works for a few weeks and then suddenly crashes and it is in the lap of the God's when it decides to suddenly transmit Wifi again - this 2 week crash is the worst but I would strongly advise against buying TP link - it really doesn't work reliably and the company must know this but haven't bothered to fix the problems.

@Ballymoss9018 

Why do you suffer so much for two years? Get a devolo I combined it with wifi and non wifi adapters. It's twice as expensive, but if you don't have netfix for 6 months, you can pay that :)

I brought back my Tp-Link when I saw that other people had the same crashing problems. Got cash back.
