W8960N freezes when WiFi on/off with button on back
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-W8960N
Hardware Version : V4
Firmware Version : 1.1.1 Build 120912 Rel.67406
ISP :
Hello all. I have just bought a TP-Link WD8960N modem. I have connected and I have internet without any issues with my ISP.
But I am facing another issue that has to do with WiFi. More specific it seems that when using the hard button on the back for toggling the WiFi on-off the device starts freezing. More specific my PC stops having internet access and i cannot access the device IP 192.168.1.1. This behavior happens whenever I disable the WiFi by using the hard button on the back. So every time i turn off the WiFi with the button after a few seconds the device stops providing internet to my pc and is not accesible at all. Also sometimes I have seen that when turning the WiFi on (either form button or admin page) the devices connected to it (a mobile phone and an iPad) although connect to the WiFi they do not get internet access.....
Only solution is to reboot the device (power off and on).
Any solution to my issue? I changed my previous modem with this one only because I wanted the WiFi button on/off option.
