Wi-Fi Routers Experiencing Slow Wi-Fi Performance With Android and Google Chromecast Built-in Devices
Recently, some consumers using Android devices and devices with Google Chromecast built-in have experienced router and Wi-Fi network connectivity issues. These issues have impacted customers regardless of the router brand or manufacturer.
After testing this issue internally and immediately relaying our results to Google, Google has confirmed the connectivity issue is related to recent versions of Android and Chromecast built-in devices, such as Google Home and Chromecast. Google has also advised consumers that they are releasing an update that should resolve the issue, and that they will begin rolling it out via Google Play services updates this Thursday, January 18.
In our own testing, we have found that only Archer C1200 routers were affected by this Google issue and we promptly released updated firmware to address this issue. Please see below for the firmware version that applies to your Archer C1200 for the region in which you reside.
While waiting for the update, Google recommends that anyone affected by this issue try rebooting their Android phone and check that their Wi-Fi router is running the most recent firmware version.
TP-Link also recommends that customers regularly visit our support site and check for firmware updates to ensure their devices are optimized for the best performance.
