Random fault T4U AC1200
Region : Australia
Model : TL-WDN4800
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I'm convinced this is a hardware fault.
I have installed the adapter on my desktop to set up an Access Point so my laptops, smartphone and tablet can use the internet. I have 3 laptops, one of which is connected to my ADSL2+ modem via an ethernet cable. I have set up the SoftAP (many times) correctly and checked and re-checked the Win 7 Network & Sharing settings. Sometimes the adapter works as it should. Most times my desktop shows that SoftAP has internet access but my laptops can not see it in the available network connections. Neither can my smartphone or tablet.
If I set up the adapter on the one laptop that has the ethernet connection, exactly the same symptoms occur, so whereas I first thought I may have a problem with the desktop PC, I refuse to believe that two different computers have system faults that stop the adapter from working correctly.
My desktop is running Windows 7 Professional and my laptop is running Win 7 Ultimate. My other laptops that I wish to connect regularly via WiFi are using Win 8.1 and Win 7 Pro. The tablet and smartphone use Android. When one item can connect, they all can connect. Sometimes after they have connected, a few minutes or hour later the connection disappears but the desktop still shows SoftAP as having internet access.
Does anyone please have any idea what's happening here. My hair is already white and I'm starting to pull it out!
