Archer C9 settings

[vantheman]

I have recently had the NBN connected via HFC. I live in a double brick, double story house and the Arris modem has been installed on the ground floor in one corner of the house. The TPG supplied modem/router is struggling to get a wifi signal to all corners of the house. I have borrowed a TP Link Archer C9 router which has improved wifi but is dropping out every 2 to 3 minutes for 20 seconds. The IPTV settings all appear OK and the VLAN I/D is set at 2. I have enabled ipv6 and wonder if this could be the issue? Any thoughts

I reset the Archer C9 router and did a firmware upgrade and it is now rock solid. I have mounted it about 2 metres up a wall on the ground floor. This is giving me good reception on both floors and to all corners. I have 13 WiFi connected devices in the house (how did that happen?) and all are working fine.

Wow! That's wonderful. We are glad to know that the reset and the firmware upgrade of your router did the trick. Let us know should you require further assistance.
