Model: Archer VR600v  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Purchased July 2019 this was working fine until today when both wired and WiFi connections suddenly stopped working.

 

Power LED was on and blinking but all other lights are out.

 

NO CHANGES to router config for MANY months so this is NOT a problem created by myself.

 

Searched forums and support and solutions are no tthere.

 

Clearly TP-Link have a quality problem as there and 1000's of people reporting this same issue across a variety of devices.

 

My back-up router is 20 years old and still going strong....

 

when are you going to start making products that actually last as long as people expect(hope)?

@Kevin_Z I plugged the router back in after it sat unpowered for about 8 hrs. 

 

Started up no problems and has now been sitting on my desk running for around 15hrs without an issue.  I am running a few devices on both 2.4 and 5g WiFi as an access point so that I can see if any dropouts.

 

Clearly something strange happened yesterday but good to know I have 3yr warranty on this.  I will leave running on my desk until weekend and then connect back up to the internet.

As per your user manual :

 

Try to hard reset the device (Method 1) to see if it will start up normally.

Yes, I have seen that in the manual but typically the startup phase only took a few mins and I have not done a firmware upgrade, it just stopped of it's own accord.

 

When router stopped working, after a power cycle, the flashing light stays on for 30 odd mins.

 

Factory reset button did nothing to resolve. 30/30/30 reset steps I found on the net did not help either.

 

Powered off and let it sit for 10+ mins then tried again and flashing went on for at least 15 mins before I disconnected and switched to old router.

 

Currently sitting powered off for 1/2 day so will retry again tonight.

Hi,

Is everything going on well now?

If still the same, since the warranty service covered for three years in Australia, please try to contact the local support team to check for warranty service.

Thank you very much.
