Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WR1043ND

Hardware Version : v1

Firmware Version : TL-WR1043ND_V1_120405

ISP : BT Infinity (1)

Hi guys, I have a TL-WR1043ND v1 with the latest firmware installed TL-WR1043ND_V1_120405.

I loose access to the router (can't see web page, can't config, can't restart).

I have a Linux server on the Ethernet, and uplink through 200Mbps powerline adapter to the BT Infinity modem. A few other devices on the wireless.

The router works well and I prefer it to the BT Home Hub 3 for fiber because it proved to be faster in many cases as tested.

But after a few days the web interface becomes inaccessible. It's like the web server died or something. Browser says connection reset, if I try telnet to port 80 says connection refused.
Actually I just did a full netcat scan (sudo netcat -z -v -192.168.1.1 1-65535) and all ports say connection refused.
Ping works - I can ping it allright.
DHCP server works too, just restarted a computer and got IP from the router.
Port forwarding works as well and DynDNS seems to work as well as my ISP changes the IP periodically and I can always find the updated one.

All works - exept I can't access the router in any way!

If I restart (remove power and plug it back in), it boots and I can access the router again.
So restarting won't work remotely, I actually have to go home to re-plug it!

Anyone experienced something like this?
Did anyone figure out a workaround or... even a solution for this?

Cheers!

Contact TP-LINK Technical Support to get a beta firmware. It may be help in your case. I got one from a technician, upgraded it and it runs properly now.

Thanks Jorge! I just installed it, seems to be working so far... :-)

Same issue here....

Hi

I literally bought my TL-WR1043ND 2 days ago and I noticed that after returning from a day at work, I could still use the internet but NOT gain access to the GUI at 192.168.1.1. I tried accessing through wired and wireless connections from multiple devices.

What I did notice is that the SYS LED was on constant green at the same time I could not access the GUI. A restart of course meant the SYS LED flashed on and off as normal and I could log in as normal.

I called technical support and they had no idea what I was talking about. I am using BT Infinity 2 and works great but I like to tweak and having to restart to access the GUI is not great. My telnet attempts also failed as above.

I wondered if anyone has had any repeats of this issue since using the BETA firmware? Any further idea what may be causing the router to do this?

Thanks for the replies in advance.

The SYS LED was on constant green with the last firmware (WR1043ND_V1_120405) when the fault occurred
With the "beta firmware" that failure does not occur

Thanks Jorge. Its reassuring to know I am experiencing the same issue with a solution at hand. I have emailed technical support asking for the file mentioned. Again thanks for the clarification.

Hi Jorge,

I have just received the BETA Firmware. I can confirm the version matches what you quoted. Filename: wr1043nv1_en_3_13_11_up(120905)_beta.rar

Thanks for all the help. Glad I checked the forum. I will post results.
