Unstable connection with TL-WR840N router

Model : TL-WR840N

Hardware Version : V 2.0

Firmware Version : WR840N v2

ISP : NET

So hey guys.
Sorry if I use the wrong words, I live in Brazil so some terms might be a little different and my english also isn't the best.

Basically, whenever I use my TL-WR840N router, my connection becomes unstable through cable and Wi-Fi as well.

If I plug my modem directly to my PC through the cable, it works perfectly - no issues at all.

But as soon as I try to use my TL-WR840N my connection fails like every 10~30 seconds. It doesn't disconnect, but there's a quick "lag spike" that makes my connection completely useless.

TP-Link support didn't answer my Ticket so here I am asking for help.

I know that my modem is doesn't support Wi-Fi and it does not need any kind of login and password to connect, just plug and play.
I tried to configure my TL-WR840N with the most basic and simple setup ever. Everything is set to Dynamic (IP, DNS, etc).

Sorry for my english mistakes, I hope you can understand my text (and help me to fix that thing haha).

Can you show me screen shot from ipconfig when you have internet connection by modem only?

Hardware version and firmware version.


I updated the router with its latest firmware and I believe I've chosen the right version.
My router is V2 and the firmware is V2 as well.

Jimasek, here's the screenshot.

I guess I found what was wrong.

Suddenly I thought "what if one of my cables is f*cked up?"

Then I checked the cable I used to connect my modem and the router, and then I looked at the cable that connected my PC.
They were different. Both were RJ45 but that one I used with my modem and router had less/different wires?!

you know... those collored small wires at the end of the plug.

It was almost 01AM and then I had to sleep. zzzzz

When I get home I'll update this post and tell if they were really different.
Maybe I'll post a pic of them here so we can find if that was the real problem.

Thank you.
