TP-Link Archer C7 V5 connection drop issues

Hello,

my TP-Link Archer C7 V5 (Client: WDS, 19.07.7) has the problem that it loses it connection to my Linksys WRT3200ACM (Main router, 19.07.5).

It seems like the problem is the Archer C7 because I use a Netgear EX3800 (Client: WDS, 19.07.5) also in the network and got no connection problems with this one.

The last time the problem appeared was today at about 13:00 o'clock. I've looked into the
system log and found the following entry:

wlan0 is the client connection to the main router.

This message only appears on the Archer C7.

I hope somebody can help my with this issue. If more info is needed just tell me.

Try to use non ct wifi drivers. ct crash often on that model.
