Model: TL-WR841N  
Hardware Version: V10
Firmware Version: 3.16.9 Build 150310 Rel. 55295n

This is a weired one. The wifi signle stopped working suddenly. I tried restarting it, resetting it (multiple times), re-installed the firmware. It works for a few minutes after restarting it then slowly the speed drops and eventually it disconnects. The wifi is still discovrable but when I try to reconnect the error "can't connect to this network". I have tried with multiple devices with same results. Even weirder, LAN from the router works absolutely fine.

Any suggestions?

Does this disconnect issue occur on all wireless devices or some of them? What are they? Please ensure the OS or driver of that device is up-to-date.

 

Meanwhile, please try to modify the wireless settings on the WR841N, such as wireless name, wireless channel, security, and channel width to have a check:

When and where did you purchase this router? Was it working fine before?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions but I've tried nearly everything what you suggested. I have tried with multiple Android phones, one windows laptop and a windows desktop. I bought it from Delhi, India maybe 3 years back but I wasn't using it for a long time. I recently started using and it worked wonderfuly for about 4 mouths untill it desided to stop working all of a sudden.

Hi, if none of the above can make it alive, I'm afraid it simply quits.

 

Maybe It's time to upgrade your network:)
