Unstable Connection When Using Client Mode

Saturday

Model: TL-WR1502X

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20250808 rel.68172(4A50)

When I use the device at home, the internet connection suddenly drops. I was also unable to connect to the mobile router (TL-WR1502X). The same issue persists even after a restart. I have not experienced any problems when using Hotspot Mode or Router Mode.

Hello @murashi

What is the Operation Mode of the TL-WR1502X? Is it working in Client Mode?

Since the Client PC has already successfully obtained a valid IP address from the main router via the TL-WR1502X, please try to ping the IP address of your main router using the How to Use the Ping Command. Kindly show us the result.

If you can ping your main router successfully but cannot access the internet through the TL-WR1502X, it may be due to special settings on your main router, such as IP or MAC filtering. Please check them carefully.

BTW, what is the model number of the main router?
