WR740N Router - Can connect to Windows laptop, but not Linux or Android devices

Model : WR740N

Hardware Version : WR740N v4 00000000

Firmware Version : 3.17.0 Build 150105 Rel.61576n


ISP :

I have a two year old WR740N Router, upgraded to the latest firmware 3.17.0 Build 150105 Rel.61576n. I had to go away for a month, so I just kept it off. Returning back, I can only connect to my Windows laptop, but not Linux(on the same laptop), nor Android devices.


Here is a log for one of my android devices -


[HTML]DHCPS:Send OFFER with ip 192.168.0.100
DHCPS:Recv DISCOVER from 28:27:29:22:27:22
DHCPS:Send OFFER with ip 192.168.0.100
DHCPS:Recv DISCOVER from 28:27:29:22:27:22[/HTML]


And this keeps on repeating whereas for my laptop, the log is

[HTML]DHCPS:Send ACK to 192.168.0.101
DHCPS:Recv REQUEST from 14:10:1D:19:19:1D
DHCPS:Send OFFER with ip 192.168.0.101
DHCPS:Recv DISCOVER from 14:10:1D:19:19:1D[/HTML]

So it looks like my android devices never send the request packet, but I am not sure why. This happens to with all 3 of my android devices(5.1,7 and 8 android versions), which can easily connect to wifi networks in public, and connected fine to this wifi earlier. Any idea what the issue might be?

I have already tried a hard reset as well.

How about remove/forget Wi-Fi profiles and reconnect?

I have recently brought a new HP Spectre x360 laptop with windows 10 but the problem is that it is not connecting my router TL-WR841N, I thought this is the laptop issue to I also consulted with hp Canada support but they told me that the laptop is absolutely perfect, then can anyone tell me what is the exact issue and how it will be resolved?
