WR700N loses connection about once/day
WR700N loses connection about once/day

Region : Canada

Model : TL-WR700N

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : latest

ISP : Cogeco


I have a WR700N set up in bridge mode so as to provide a wifi signal in far end of our home. I used Bridge so we can tell which router we are connecting to. So we have two SSIDs (MySSID1 and MySSID2) Both with secure log-in.

This works fine for about a day, and then disconnects. I then have to mess with the WR700N by plugging it in and out, maybe logging into it and changing something. Then it will work again - for a day :(

I updated the firmware with no change.

Main router is a Dlink 615 with IP of 192.168.0.1. connected to cable modem. TP-LINK is set at default of 192.168.0.254 and gets a wireless signal from dlink.

In an attempt to improve situation, I now have both units set to channel 11 and with fixed 20Mhz channel width. b/g/n on TP and g/n on dlink.

Any suggestions?

Why don`t you use the TL-WR700N as a repeater ?

Repeater and bridge modes are very similar and would likely have similar problems With bridge,users have new SSID and password, so don't need to know our main login data.

Today I had to reset after about 12hr (overnight and not being used)

I sort of know what that means and it is not at all useful.

Can you try this solution and see if that helps?

The need for a bridge/repeater disappeared after I relocated the main router. I am now going to use the WR700N in a hotel setting so that more devices can share connection. For example, a wifi printer which cannot itself log on to the hotel network and answer questions! I finally got this working, but TP-Link were of no help even although they advertise the router as being useful for this purpose. I have tested this at home using various devices and it seems to be working.
