PLEASE IGNORE THE MODEL SELECTION - I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE AND MY WIRELESS AP WAS NOT ON THE LIST

 

I've just installed a TL-WA1201 wireless AP into my home network and wish to use it's multi-ssid feature to broadcast 3 different ssids for the 3 VLANs set up on my network. I have it set up like this:

 

SSID 1 (2g+5g) - VLAN 20 - IP address 10.0.20.1

SSID 2 (2g+5g) - VLAN 30 - IP address 10.0.30.1

SSID 3 (2g+5g) - VLAN 40 - IP address 10.0.40.1

 

The issue is when connected to any of the 3 SSIDs devices get intermittent packet loss and I've not been able to find the cause. Things I have tried:

- Loading webpages - about 80% of pages won't load

- Pinging 1.1.1.1 - results in 30-70% packet loss

- Pinging google.com - results in 30-70% packet loss

- Pinging default gateway - results in 30-70% packet loss

- Connecting to every SSID with multiple different devices - issues persist

- Changing ethernet cables - issues persist

- Swapping from PoE injector to direct power - issues persist

- Connecting physically to each vlan with ethernet - no packet loss or internet issues whatsoever

 

Everything points to the TP link AP being faulty but before I return it I wondered if anyone here had any ideas?

Hello everyone, 

 

Here is a new beta  for TL-WA1201 for issues when working in multi SSID mode / different VLANs : 
https://static.tp-link.com/beta/2021/202106/20210628/TL-WA1201v2_eu-up-ver1-0-1-P1[20210628-rel55053].zip

If your current firmware is not stable enough, please give it a try and feel free to let us know if works  for you. 

 

Note:  make sure router & AP's IP addresses are on a different subnet from the VLAN  when use this Beta firmware. ( if your router/switch supports creating multiple subnets)  For example, if router & AP's IP addresses are on 192.168.0.0/24 subnet, set VLAN  on a different subnet like 10.10.10.0/24.
