LAN freezes with high bandwith useage
LAN freezes with high bandwith useage

Region : Romania

Model : TL-WR841ND

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version : 3.13.27 Build 121101 Rel.38183n

ISP : cosmote

hardware version is WR841N v8
wireless works just fine. i use it for my smartphone and an old laptop. i use ethernet cable to connect to main computer where all is ok until i start using my bit torrent client. as soon as i build up traffic above 1MB the ethernet portion of the router freezes:mad: and needs a reboot:mad:. when frozen, wireless is still working and i still have access on the lan to the router via my browser. i got this router so i could have wifi for my phone. my old router (asus rx3041) worked just fine and i accessed my isp at the maximum speeds it would allow on a 60 gigabit connection.
firmware is updated to the latest version.
i see nothing in any documentation anywhere about ipV6 address processing and suspect that might be the problem, but i have no idea.. i use port forwarding and upnp

Make configuration your torrent application, down peer connection and upload/download.

Please down peer and speed upload. I think that router is overburdened.

thanks again. i tried lowering the numbers by more than half, but did not cap the speed. the router still froze. it seems like it is only good for casual web browsing and a piece of junk. i got 3 & 4 MB transfers with the old router and was even able to get some choppy cam while downloading torrents, youtube would get a little choppy also. this thing consistently craps out when it is at about 1 MB no matter what those settings are. the only difference changing the connections made was to take longer to get to 1 MB. I think i'm going to have to try to return it for a better one. i'm waiting to hear from tp-link and i know i'll have trouble returning the thing even though i've only had it a week (it's a romanian thing). i'm not romanian, by the way.

Maybe try with alternative firmware for your router (dd-wrt, Gargoyle, open-wrt). Sometimes this change gives a lot of.

that's not an alternative for me anymore, i don't have the time or inclination to modify the firmware these days.
i did kind of resolve the issue but overall it is not acceptable because it still puts limits on my torrent processing.
first i lowered the mtu to 1350 and was able to sustain d/l speeds capped at 1.8 M, but it has a max upload now of 400 K, which i didn't set..
i then lowered the mtu further to 1250 and no cap on d/l, so i am getting speeds of up to 3M and no crashes.:) this raised my upload speeds to ~450K.
i still have an issue of no ipV6 processing.:mad:
so i will be returning the router for a better one.:p
thanks again for your help.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem.
The story: -

I had a WR740N V3 and was using it fine at high speeds for my torrents.
[*]My wife bought an IPAD and wanted to print via airprint. Wouldn't work with the 740.
[*]Contacted TP-Link support and they recommended a WR841 router that would support airprint.
[*]Bought WR841ND v7, didn't work with airprint with the latest firmware.
[*]Support sent me some beta firmware which enabled airprint.
[*]Now whenever the torrent goes above 500KB/s 'ish the throughput drops to 0 on the main desktop PC, all other devices continue to work.
[*]After a week the airprint function stops working as well.


I've reported the issue to TP-Link a few days ago but as yet no response!

I've now gone back to my WR740 and all is well apart from no airprinting, I may try to go back to the original firmware for the WR841ND.

All in all a disappointing performance from TP-Link, why is airprint such a difficult task to achieve and why does the throughput kill the connection on the later (faster?) router but is OK on the Older one.

Any thoughts/suggestions.

Model No. TL-WR841N / TL-WR841ND freeze torrent

I have this:
Firmware Version: 3.13.9 Build 120201 Rel.54965n
Hardware Version: WR841N v6/v7 00000000

and a Zyxel NSA310 which is running Transmission. I have a total maximum of 10 (usually less than 5) active torrents download/upload with an average of 6M/s download an 512 kB/s upload. TL-WR841ND it freezes and the solution is to simply unplug it than plug back. Why is this happening when it suppose to support 100 Mb/s ?
