Hi guys. I recently bought an Archer C9 (TP-Link) due to it's good recommendations and reviews.
I'm using a modem/router as a bridge - Dlink 6740U, and a dedicated Router setup.
Previously, I had used a TP Link TL WR542G as my dedicated router, which worked fine, but it was pretty old so I decided to replace it with the Archer C9 to have better wireless.
Now, when I switched to my Archer C9, I randomly get disconnects of my internet, which is really annoying. It's like when it happens, that connection gets very unstable, and the "DSL" light on my Modem shuts off., and my internet light in my C9 gets turned into red/orange (from blue) - obviously since my internet connection was lost.
Then, my "DSL" light on my modem starts connecting again (blinking like 15-20 times until its connected and has constant green light).
This happens like after playing 30-60 minutes, then when it starts it goes on like that every 5-10 minutes.
I tried calling my ISP - they told me the line is fine, and something in my equipment is causing this. I checked everything I could, and I have no idea what's causing this!
Note - my 2G wireless is on, but no device is using it (and it shouldn't cause my DSL to lose connection).
When I reconnected my old TPLink WR542G back, this phenomenon stopped!
So my question is - what could be causing my Archer C9 to have my DSL get disconnected randomly after 30-60 minutes of playing (though sometimes it starts randomly)?
This is crucial to me since I play online games and it's killing my experience.
Please halp!
