Wireless problem with new TL-WDR3600

Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WDR3600
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : 3.13.23 Build 120820 Rel.73549n
ISP : Virgin Media
Hardware version: WDR3600 v1 00000000
NB: Wired connections to the router work fine.
I'm having problems with the wire less connections to my new router. The following problems occur with a range of devices (mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, laptops; so we're talking WiiOS, Win7, Android Jellybean and Gingerbread, Win7 Mobile). The issues do not seem to be linked to a particular device, with any device having problems when another does not.
1) Device does not see WLAP AP SSID
2) Device connects to WLAN AP, can connect to TL-WDR3600 management web interface cannot connect to internet
3) Device connects to WLAN AP, but cannot connect to anything
4) WLAN AP SSID intermittently dissappears from scan list
These are not isolated issues (i.e. I don't only experience one of them at any one time).
eg. A device can connect, allow me to browse one page, then the AP can dissappear
Rebooting the device, toggling WiFi, rescanning / reconnecting does not seem to help.
One device can be experiencing one of the problems above, whilst a second device physically adjacent (eg. two mobile phones) is having problems.
The problem occurs when the device in running combined 2.4/5G, or either band individually.
I've changed many of the Wireless settings in an attempt to isolate a cause, but have not been able to determine what the problem is, including factory reset and reconfiguration.
I'm using WPA2-PSK. My previous router (D-Link DIR-615 with horrendous Virgin Media firmware) was working fine with the same in-house devices (known issues with pre-loaded VM firmware aside), and I am sorely tempted to return to that router since at least I can get devices running on the internet.
I can't see any newer firmware available on the website.
To summarise:
Wired connections are fine
Wireless connections are largely useless (fail to operate 90% of the time I try to use them)
Any clues?
Best regards and Happy XMas

I've been running the DD-WRT on my 3600 for over 8 months now. Trust me, it does NOT solve all the issues. I don't have the wireless devices dropping offline "as much" anymore but I can't connect Xbox devices via wireless. There are problems with the security settings in auto mode that prevent it from connecting at all. So you either have to turn off security completely or connect it via a wired connection.
Regarding devices dropping offline it depends on what firmware you use too. The 05-27-2013-r21676 has been the most stable for me but every now and then (maybe once a week) some 5GHz devices still drop offline but they self heal after about 2 minutes. The latest 07-24-2013-r22118 however would cause some devices to drop offline nightly and sometimes even a couple times a night.
Give a spin with the r25408. Very stable for 5ghz too. And set the router to do an auto reset every 24h or more (administration/keep alive). Way better.
I use it on my restaurant as an hotspot with coovachilli and as a NAS, never fail till now.
