Problems of WDR-4900
2013-02-16 22:50:36
Tags:
Region : Hongkong
Model : TL-WDR4900
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 3.14.0 Build 130206 Rel.34701n
ISP : PCCW Netvigator
I have bought tp-link wdr-4900 for several days and encounter the following problems
1) nfs is not work, whenever I set up the nfs server (using hanewin nfs server), the media player fails to read the media file. (Problem does not appear for the previous ASUS n56u)
2) When there is large traffic rate (e.g. BitTorrent), the whole machine is very unstable, LAN and Wireless dies (SSID disappears, and LAN appears "ERR Connection" and "DNS not respond"), give me a feeling that the router cannot handle high traffic rate and the whole machine slows down and fails.
I have played around with the settings in the router and seek help for the above issues.
Thanks all!

Weirdest thing is it happend just now. till these days it was all ok. Started couple days ago.
I did complete reset.
I live in Tilburg. (Onsbrabantnet sounds like you live in brabant aswell?)
I bought router from 4launch three weeks ago.
Correct. And also bought via 4launch :-)
Yesterday evening i tried something: I powercycled the FibreOptic Modem and kept the WDR4900 not connected for an hour (it states so in the manuals of the provider).
Also i changed my DNS Servers. I installed NameBench and ran a test which DNS server was quickest for me. As secondary DNS i filled in 8.8.8.8 (Googles public DNS).
I had been able to surf the net the entire evening (with bittorrent on) at great speeds.
Will test more tonight. Will do some large network file transfers.

I didn't try that yet but itsn't hardware NAT is one of the biggest selling point of this router?

Had internet whole day. Around 1830-1900 it just went down.I thought it was because all my housemates
were home, but i am not sure. Really weird.
With hardware nat turned off my connection to internet is down.

Mine has been working all evening (i think). Bittorrent was on. Phone was connected as well, haven't noticed connection loss yet. Well, i'll see what tomorrow brings.
btw. this is what i changed, from both enabled, to disabled current hardware NAT status:
Current NAT Status: [x]Enable [ ]Disable
Current Hardware NAT Status: [ ]Enable [x]Disable

Despite how much I didn't want to disable hardware NAT.
I did it anyways. The through-put speed dropped 10-15% compare to hardware NAT.
But the Wi-Fi disconnect during high number of TCP/UDP connection problem solved.
Still induce very noticeable lost packet during higher traffic sessions(which is still VERY annoying) but at least I can still use my wi-fi.
I really hope this is firmware issue instead of hardware design flaw and will have newer firmware to rectify this problem.
Or I will sell the WDR4900 and going back to my old trustworthy 1043ND.

turning hardware nat off seems to fix the problem. Stable internet since.
even downloads are 8 MB/sec, a bit slower, but its ok.

My download speed was 60MB/s when using N750. If disable H/W NAT dropped too much speed, that will be meaningless to have such an upgraded flagship router N900!

Suggestion for next firmware
Eh I bought this router and after trying it for days has serious bugs.
-The media server (DLNA) formatted in FAT32 file has failed.
-It does not incorporate or Amule Bittorrent client to maximize performance USB.
-No you can incorporate third party software as it does with Linux-based firmwares (as Lighttpd web server).
FAT32-In testing the router has rebooted automatically and without apparent reason. We only happened once, we tried to reproduce the bug and has not been produced, seems to have been an isolated incident.
