Hello, My network is like this :
ISP optus -->cable modem-->TL-WR841N
I bought TP-LINK TL-WR841N router 2 weeks back..
It got installed correctly and works fine with websites like Google, Facebook. But websites like Yahoo! , Hotmail , etc. doesn't open at all . I checked my firewall settings and it's all fine. Kindly suggest what should I do cuz it's been 2 weeks and i'm not able to use it.

Have you checked the websites that can no open with the your ISP cable modem, does that work fine? Some times ISP internet line is not so good and caused some problems.

I checked that with my ISP. When I connect to the modem only, all pages can open without problem. I am sure that the problem is TP-LINK router now.

Have you tried to Ping these websites when connected to the router? Can you ping them? If you cannot ping, you can also try to ping the yahoo server by the IP address like 203.84.197.9.
For the TP-LINK routers, sometimes for the cable modem, it needs to do the MAC clone. On the TP-LINK settings page go to Network-->WAN -->Clone MAC address with your main computer.

I have already tried to do the MAC clone. But this did not help. I also tried ping. No matter it is ping www.yahoo.com or the numbers you gave me. Both can not reach. Is there something wrong with my router?

Try to change the MTU size on the TP-LINK.
Go to Network-->WAN-->MTU.Change the default 1480 to 1440. Sometimes update the firmware can solve this problem. Go to TP-LINK websites to download and update it.
