TPG technicians advised that the problem was with the VR1600 and they could not fix it. The router is over two years old and out of warranty therefore, the only option was to replace it at my expense. I have since purchased a Netgear modem/router and everything is working well so far.

Hi bawz9z, You have described exactly what I'm experiencing and my research has reached the same conclusion you. The fault has been escalated within TPG and I am waiting on further instructions which should happen in the next 24 to 48 hours. Cheers, Trevor

Hi, Our Archer VR1600v V2 modem's 5GHz WIFI randomly stops working. The only way to solve the problem is to switch the modem off, wait a minute, then turn it back on. Stopping and starting the 5GHz wifi by either external button or via the admin concole does not fix the issue. This modem is actually a replacement for a previous version of the Archer VR1600 which developed the same symtoms. Neither a factory reset nor modifications to the wifi settings have fixed the issue either. The 2.4 Ghz wifi works fine. The modem had been working fine for quite a while however the issue is progressively getting worse. It is requiring a power reset every one to three days with no set pattern to day or time. Hardware version: Archer VR1600v v2 00000000 Firmware version: 0.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 200810 Rel.53181n Is a newer firmware version available that fixes this issue? Kind Regards, Trevor
