Hi@Adewesco,

Welcome to our community.

 

Did you set all TL-WR940N units to Access Point mode?

 

If your router constantly resets itself to factory defaults automatically, please follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:
    1. Ensure that the router is connected to a stable power source. A fluctuating or unreliable power supply can cause the router to reset.
    2. Ensure the original power adapter is used; try another power socket or outlet.
    3. Check for firmware updates and ensure it is using the latest firmware.
    4. Perform a manual reset by holding the reset button until the power LED starts flashing.
    5. Inspect the router for any physical damage or loose connections. 

 

Best Regards.
