Model: TL-WA801ND
Hardware Version : WA801ND v3 00000000
Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 160223 Rel.48414n
ISP : Free

hi.
I have a TL-WA801ND and made a basic usage of it with a phone, a tablet and some raspberry pi connected to the wifi AP. I never got problem with it.

Now I have device streaming audio to another one 24/7 (sort of) because it does not last more that a day.

I mean the AP is still up and advertised because it appears in the list of nearby wifi AP, but no device can connect to it.
I can login into it from another PC via ethernet and can't see anything in the log.

I have to reboot it to get the functionnality back.

What's wrong ? It is so cheap it can't handle such a traffic ?

Edit:
I can see this in the log, what is it ?? It has not even locked up yet. I jsut rebooted it;

The log doesn't tell valuable information.
Normally how many devices are connected to the AP totally?
What's the operation mode of the access point?
When you use a PC to login to the web page using Ethernet connection, is the PC connected to the AP or main router?

Beside,you can try to change the channel of the ap to 1/6/11 and channel width to 20MHz.
These settings can make the AP more stable.

there are at max 5 devices connected to the AP. But only one generates a lot of traffic.
the AP operates on bridge mode.

The pc is connected to the main router.

Well, the problem did not happened again since I complained here, so far. That's an improvement

Great. If the issue happens again, like I said, you can change the channel of your router to a static one which is less interfered by other channels.
Move the 801ND a little close to your main router may also help.
Besides, bridge mode may have some compatibility issue, suggest you to use repeater mode.
