Region : Sweden
Model : TD-W8968
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 0.6.0_1.1_up(120926)
ISP : HessleholmNetwork
My TD-W8968 has begun to freeze up. It had been running for about two hours before this happened. It's a "slow" process that starts with the web interface being
unavailable, i'm unable to connect to the modems web interface.
And at about the same time it becomes impossible to connect new devices to the wireless network. Right about this point i did a speed test over the modem
and performance was abysmal.
It was so slow that my web browser believed that it was offline! But i was able to re run the internet speed test once more before it totaly locked up! At this point
it was impossible to use the TD-W8968.
This was the,, i don't know,, perhaps the fifth time it happened in a row. It has been running perfect for two months before it began acting up like this.
I have done a reset of the modem, didn't solve the problem.
I have also done a reflash of the firmware, i've had the latest firmware since i bought the TD-W8968. But the reflash didn't solve it :(
Any thoughts?

I replaced the power supply to a 2A, I hope it works. Thanks.
It doesnot work, I`ve try with many power supply(1A, 2A, 5A)
RMA says that I should enable smth in wireless options. But I do not have this options and I totally sure that it is not a solution.
I changed the power supply when I posted the message above and since then it hasn't frozen anymore. I didn't understand why but it worked for me.
Thanks bovirus!

I think I've found how to solve the freezes when using torrent via ADSL. We should set up 2 connections using
quick setup
One of them will be bridge - we will make a connection on PC where we will using torrent without getting router down
Another one is ordinary like we set up before - for other devices. With this settings there is NO FREEZES at ALL
My Router work for all day and torrents downloading with no problems.
I found some minuses just @fromthebox@-
1- We can use torrent on other devices but it will stop the router like before.
2-You need to setup local network again - as for me there is new IP address (before it was .103 then it stand .193) for LAN PC
3-i do not know is it bad or nothing that i set loggin and pass in pc and router at the same time.
4- do not actually know, but i think that most priority will be for torrent.
Sorry for bad English.
UPDATED:
Torrents Works FINE both for PC via LAN1 and NOTEBOOK via WIFI, There is no problems at all NOW.
I am Using original power supply and TD-W8968_V1_130217 firmware.
Downloading all over a day with no freezes, restarts or whatever - priority is working like before.

Even I'm facing problem with WiFi on my W8968 (Firmware : TD-W8968v1_0.6.0_0.4_up(130217).bin ),
0. Bootup router with all correct cables connected.
1. WiFi goes down after 2-3 mins after bootup/(1-2 devices connected at that time), WiFi on my laptop works for 1-2 mins at max after bootup then unable to find SSID (& WiFi LED OFF)
2. Unable to connect to WiFi AP. (WiFi LED on router is "OFF" mostly but I've seen it "ON" 2-3 times as well)
3. But able to browse internet via LAN Cable. So its some issue with WiFi (software or hadware)
4. Tried setting specific channels (3/6/9/11) and Bandwidth (20 MHz) - but it didn't help
5. Also randomly I see router completely frozen (i.e unable to access 192.168.1.1 via LAN cable as well)
I'm unable to resolve this issue, so I need help in here. Support highly appreciated.

Try to make a simple test if you have another power supply (12V DC 1.5A - important 1.5A).
We had some similar problems in Italy and we fixed it with a power supply with more current (1.5A) than original (1A)

Finally I got mine replaced with a new one from TP-Link as it was under warranty, and new one is working fine(fingers-crossed) for one week now.

This problem is really irritating...
2014-01-11 21:41:59
Has anybody found any solution to this issue? This is really growing on my nerves. Should we go for a RMA?

Hi friends!
I've found the solution for freezes on W8968!
1. Update the W8968 with lastest firmware TD-W8968_V1_131226.
2. In WAN Settings set value 0 in option "Echo request interval" and uncheck the others options in "Advanced".
3. In DSL Settings uncheck the options "Enable Bit Swap" and "Enable SRA"
After these settings I had no more problems with downloads or torrents on the router crashes.
Hope this helps!
