Android Central Question

When I connect wirelessly from my phone to my router (TP-Link Archer VR600), the connection sets up just fine (password exchange is OK and the phone reports connected)
As soon as I use the connection the router restarts losing the connection.
It is not always immediate - I can usually get a web page to appear but when I try to play a youtube video the router restarts

Problem never occurred with my BT Homehub6 router but when I switched to the TP-Link the problem was immediate

Any ideas on how I can make this go away?
