Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 20201117 rel.41066

Hello,

My Archer C6 router doesn't switch on automatically after a power outage. I have to physically restart it by pressing the power button located on the router.

 

I'm not at home all the time and some of my devices need the internet 24*7. How can I solve the issue? All help is appreciated. Thank you!

@Sumera 

 

Does it mean the internet on the C6 won't come back automatically after the internet is restored on the modem? 

 

Can we confirm who is your ISP, and is the WAN connection type on the C6 Dynamic IP or static?


If the router doesn't connect to the internet automatically after the modem restores, will the C6 internet LED stay orange? Please login to the C6 web interface page to check if there is a WAN IP address when the internet LED is orange, send us the screenshot. If there is still a WAN IP address and gateway when the internet if off before you manually restart the C6, please try to change the DNS server on the C6 to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 under Advanced > Network > Internet, where you can find "Use the following DNS addresses", then monitor again.

No, the router doesn't switch back automatically forcing me to manually restart it when the power supply is restored.

I have to switch it back on for it to reconnect to the internet.

 

However, the router seems to be working fine for now. I will reach out if any problem arises further. 

 

Thank you for your assistance.
