TP-Link Archer C7 Hangs Every Day. How To Fix?

2020-09-212017-11-01 by Adam Swift

TP-Link Archer C7 (hardware version v2) is the most unstable-working router I ever had. It randomly stopped working at least once in two days.

Sometimes I had to restart it three times a day but Internet was constantly dropping (even when connected via Ethernet) and Wi-Fi kept disconnecting all the time. Now and then 5 GHz network dropped until I power cycled the device.

The guide works for Android 6 Marshmallow as well.
