Model: TL-WR841HP  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 0.9.1 2.0 v0000.0 Build 180402 Rel.74013n(0000)

I had a problem with TP-Link TL-WR841HP Router in Bridge Mode and I tried it's Troubleshooting for no internet Traffic.

 

I some how resolved the problem by making some changes in Host WiFi Router WiFi Setting by reducing it's speed from 300Mbps to 54Mbps. The detail procedure is explained in the video link: https://youtu.be/5ZEAHDrGbuc

 

Does any one know how to sort the problem out without reducing the Mode Speed to 54Mbps?

Hi,

 

I don't know what would fix the problem, but if your TL-WR841HP is indeed a "V5" with firmware version 0.9.1 2.0 from April 2018, then you might want to consider updating it to the latest available firmware version.

 

The crucial thing for selecting the proper firmware for any TP-Link router is that the model description printed on the label on the underside of the router matches the description of the firmware update package. (i.e. if the router model is "TL-WR841HP(UN)_V5" then the firmware update must also be named "TL-WR841HP(UN)_V5")

 

In case the content of your country's TP-Link website is not being updated regularly, then you may also check for newer firmware versions on other TP-Link websites, for example the "Global /English" (Worldwide / English) TP-Link website.

  @woozle Thanks for your reply. The firmware of my TP-Link TL-WR841HP router is on latest version, and matching the hardware version written on the sticker. Still the problem is the same; however it works on 54Mbps.

Ok. So your are probably on firmware version 0.9.1 2.3 Build 220922 now, but no improvment.

 

I don't know what else to do. Actually, this could also be a limitation of the other wireless router to which the TL-WR841HP connects to.

You can check your current FW version here:

 

 

Like @woozle posted, the latest FW version for WR841HP v5 is 0.9.1 2.3 Build 220922 which can be downloaded from here.

Here's how to upgrade the FW manually.

If after upgrading to this FW version the issue still persists, I agree that the problem may be related with your Netgear WNDR4000 - if I'm not mistaken its latest FW release is from 2018.

To exclude this possibility as well, you could test your WR841HP in 'Range Extender' mode with another main router.
