TL-WDR3600 wifi connection problems

Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WDR3600

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : Latest (3.14.1)

ISP : Plusnet


I have a TL-WDR3600 whic was previously used with BT Infinity but is now on Plusnet fibre. The issue I have in losing connection between devices and the router. The router still appears live but devices cannot connect to it. I initially had the problem with an older desktop pc using a netgear wifi dongle. The connection would stop in Windows 7 and show as limited connectivity. If you tried to reset the connection it would fail to connect despite the router showing in the available connections. The only was to reconnect was to unplug the dongle and reinsert it. I put this down to a problem with the dongle however since buying a new laptop and upgrading my phone I have the same issue with both devices. The only was to reconnect when the connection fails is to put the device into 'airplane mode' and then out again. The connection is then re-established.
Are there router settingswhich could be causing this to happen. The devices and ISP have changed, the only constant is the TL-WDR3600 router. Any help would be appreciated.

Craig

The firmware version is 141022?
Can you login its web interface when Wi-Fi connection drops?
Connecting the laptop to LAN port of WDR3600 is working OK?
You may try different channels and channel width 20MHz.
For futher help, you'd better submit a ticket here, http://ticket.tp-link.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit

hi,
Yes, sorry, the firmware is 141022. I've tried to login to the device when this happens but it won't connect. The LAN is working though and I can connect through that. I have tried different channels in the past but I'll try the channel width and see if that make any difference.
Thanks
Craig

Firmware Version: 3.14.1 Build 141022 Rel.33470n
Hardware Version: WDR3600 v1 00000000


I seem to have the same issue. Initially everything worked fine. Now after a couple of months that is no longer the case.

While the wired network works fine, twice in the last two days the wireless disappears. None of my devices nor my TP-Link repeaters can connect to the WDR3600. The only thing that has worked at this point to restore it is a physical power off.

Upgrading the firmware did not help, but selecting a channel and channel width did. I needed to leave more than just wireless n on since I have g and b devices that connect to this network. Hopefully this fix keeps working.

on my device the same problem. WiFi may not work more than a day, but then cease to go online through WiFi. WiFi indicator blinks.
internal network through the WiFi does not work either.

Upgrade the latest firmware. If it won't work, try to change some wireless settings.
#5 and #7 mentioned what you can try...
