WR740N v4 - limited access on Windows 8.1 laptop
Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
This is an issue that's arisen since the first time the laptop connected to it. I connect it to my home network, it runs fine for a few minutes and then it goes into "Limited" mode. After a while, it disconnects from the network and only shows it as an available one. When I try to connect, I receive the "Windows cannot connect to this network" message and sometimes even the network disappears from the list. After restarting the router, the problem is solved but not for long. Also, this affects other computers that are running on Windows 7 and have no problem whatsoever staying connected to the network for hours, if not days. Furthermore, when connected to another TP-Link router, the Windows 8.1 laptop doesn't show any such instabilities and that's the reason I suspect it could be caused by some router setting. Just to point out, I am not very familiar with how routers work, but would like to know what the cause may be.
Below is information I thought would be necessary. If there is anything else to add, please, tell me and I will find it and post it.
