Archer MR500 daily downtime
I have had this modem/router for nearly two weeks. Currently 21 clients; there are two hard wired inputs. I have used this daily for the time that I have had it with around 80+ GB throughput. It could be a lot more, but somehow it got reset and now only showing 12 GB. It works extremely well for the most part; excellent WiFi and acceptable 4g reception. Once - occasionally twice - a day, it stops working, devices gradually disconnect, although even the ones still showing a very strong WiFi signal will no longer actually 'talk' to the router. All of the router lights still bright and shiny, other devices on the same provider still working - that's three telephones with Three SIMs - but no internet connection - unsurprising with no WiFi connections operable, although the directly connected devices also lose linkage. As nothing will 'talk' to it anymore, it necessitates a manual intervention, turning it off then back on again, after which it carries on as though nothing happened.
Is this something that requires returning and replacing this router, either with one of the same, or a reliable competitor, or maybe something that can be repaired or at the very least explained? I was hoping to use this instead of my cable supplier, but now I am loathe to cancel that service if this one is going to be unreliable.
I could still just return this and get another cable supplier instead of course.
This time I achieved nearly three days of uninterrupted operation.
Herein the information that you requested.
The lights were down by two this time.
The signal received by another SIM on the same provider shown below is not fantastic, but allows reasonable operation. Download speed varies between 3 Mbps and 30 Mbps.
I think that I have everything that you would need now, but the file fails to upload every time (the file button appears to be greyed out). I could either insert the whole log file here - very long - or send it some other way. In the meantime herewith the status page.
