Model : TL-WR941HP
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 2.0.0 Build 20171127 Rel. 62435
ISP :
I received this router 2 days ago and I'm already having problems with it. I noticed that even with Chromecast connected to my Wi-Fi network, it's not recognized in any supported apps (youtube, hbo go, netflix). It only works if I reboot the router, but if after that I unplug the Chromecast and turn it back on, the problem appears again. This did not happen to me when I used the TL-WR941ND. Do you know what could be wrong?
*The TP-Link Brazil Support Center said that this router is incompatible with the Multicast function, so it doesn't work with Chromecast. That's true?
*I've tried support with Google, but they could not identify the problem.
(I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong in english...)

O jeito é esperar uma possível atualização da firmware... estou esperando minha box tv chegar e já vi que vou ter problemas de conexão com esse roteador. Semana que vem entrarei em contato novamente com a Central de Suporte para saber se eles já têm pelo menos uma posição quanto a isso.edipmoura wrote
Estou com o mesmo problema com o Chromecast. Adquiri esse roteador há cerca de 1 mes e estou lutando para manter o Chromecast visível na rede. Já tentei reserva de endereço no DHCP, vínculo de MAC e IP na tabela ARP , liberar portas que possam ser usadas pelo Chromecast, alterar a configuração Multicast, enfim, não sei mais o que fazer. E o problema não é só com o Chromecast, mas com dispositivos conectados que utilizam tecnologia de espelhamento. Minha tv Smart também some da rede ao ser desligada. Os dispositivos só retornam reiniciando o roteador.

Don't think so. Weird thing is that this model is not on US tp-link routers. https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/routers/wifi-routers
you can find it on Mexico list.

The router remains without firmware updates. Has anyone been able to reverse this problem between chromecast and TP-Link? Any updates post here. If there is an online moderator, please kindly remove the "solved" tag from the thread title.

I also have this same router and it has the following frequent problems:;
1) WAN Orange Light in router mode in the following situations:
- Downloading or uploading file(s) with ADSL Internet connection (8 Mbits)
- When is doing a speedtest and even when you are downloading a single torrent
- Running Windows Update or when is updating a software
2) High CPU usage (if you see the Perfomance Monitor) in medum level tasks for example: (all the situations in the point 1)
The manual says " WAN orange light means NO INTERNET". This orange light appears when I am using qBittorrent, downloading or uploading files at top speed of my Internet connection (8 Megabits ADSL2+). When I see the CPU and Memory Monitor in the router, the CPU load is very high (between 80 and 100%). But, There is no red light if I transfer a folder or big files between 2 PCs in LAN (1 PC Ethernet and the other over WiFi)
Screenshots:
The first screenshot is the CPU and Memory Load when I was doing a speed test. The second screenshot and the third are when I was trasfering a big file between 2 PCs in LAN. I was thinking that the problem may be the firmware, because this router has a Qualcomm Atheros TP9343(750 MHz) | RAM1: 64 MiB (a very good peace of hardware) but may still have a very unstable and buggy firmware. I hope that soon a new version of firmware will be release, we need a more stable and better performance of a hardware that by his specs should be excellent..
