[SOLVED] Problem with TP link archer c60

[bniknafs9]

i have an archer c 60 connected as access point to my home network .
but it would frenquently go out with its internet light becoming orange , and no internet.

i don't have the same problem with either my linksys ea9500 or x3500 router / access points.

is it because i'm using a bad brand or i'm doing something wrong ?


also

can you help me set up VPN on my c60 ? pptp and l2tp are not working so far.
i want to do so so i can broadcast my vpn in my apartment .

If you are using it as an access point, why is the Internet light even being used? An access point doesn't even use a wan connection.

accesspoint - router ? i don't know the proper terminology , but the internet light would turn from green to yellow-orange after a while and the internet disconnects. i'm using DHCP

Okay, those are two different things so we need some clarification.

Do you want to use the c60 as just an access point? If so, how did you configure it to be just an access point?

yes as an access point
i put it on DHCP and set wifi password

If you have dhcp enabled, it's not an access point. And that's probably part of the problem.

even if i connect the incoming cable to a lan port (instead of WAN) , still the internet light's gonna light up , either orange or green. orange most of the time.

Okay, well that light shouldn't really matter unless you're also losing access though it. But I don't think you have it set up correctly, and that can cause issues like this.
