TP-LINK TL-WPA281 V3 AV200 - Wireless has stopped working - cant restart

Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WPA281

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP : BT


As above, unit has been working perfectly for almost a year.

Now WIFI not working - WIFI light flashes twice after a reboot, then stays off. Cant see wireless SSID. Have tried restore factory settings, changing channels, using different devices - none of which see the SSID of the wireless.

Works fine with ethernet cable attached, and i can connect to it via 192.168.1.1, with no issues.

Help!!

Its got the V3 firmware already. There only seems to be v1 and v2 firmware available, which predates the purchase of this unit by around a year.

Also, doesnt really explain why it has been working fine (as have the other 2 i have and that are continuing to do so)

Of interest i noticed once in a while the green wireless light does come on and for a few seconds you can see the wireless network, then it knocks off again.

Think it might just be faulty :(

I agree- it may thus be faulty!
