The internet connection keeps randomly dropping out on my Archer VR1600v.
It dissapears for several minutes then comes back without reset or reboot.
Do I have a connection problem
?

Thanks for the response. I will PM the details. It might be the router. As I see some devie are more verbose and would have warnings like "can't obtain an IP address".
Not sure if the IP leasing would expire, but I've tried reserving the IPs earlier for all my devices which still didn't work.
But yeah, details to come via PM.
Cheers!
We'll wait for your PM, @jayell.
Hi, I'm having the same issue, have to reboot before the network can come back.
Hi @mrjin, we have checked the status of your connection and it looks stable now. Can you tell us more about what happened today?
Hi @Riezl , not sure what exactly happened. The symptom was that all of a sudden the internet connection dropped, checked the router and the PPPoE conntion was dropped. Check the NBN modem, all 4 light were constant on, so I what I can say is that there seemed to be an issue with the TpLink Router. It happened quit a few times before and I tried to let the router to disconnect and reconnect again, and it did not work. Eventually I had to reboot the router and then everything returned to normal. I've set my router to auto reboot every 3 days when I noticed the issue. It has been quiet for a while, until it happend again today.
I thought I was alone then I search online and found this thread and commented. Unfortunately seems the router drops all logs upon reboot. The incident happend around 2019-09-21 13:56:18 as that was the first log entry in the router with correct time stamp, considering the time I found the issue and rebooted the router, the drop out should happend a few minutes before that. Could you please help to check in your end? If there was nothing wrong, maybe it was just a faulty router or simply needs a firmware update.
have the same problem over the last few days, could not fix it yet
