You may find that your devices like your mobile phones and laptops lose internet connection constantly when they are connected to the router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. It may be caused by many factors. Hence this FAQ will help you troubleshoot.

End-device means computer, laptop, front-device(s) means your modem or main router etc. which the TP-Link router is connected to.

 

 

 

Case 1

 

 

Step 1

Check whether the connection will be automatically restored after a few minutes. Check the Wi-Fi LED on the router when it happens and see if the wireless network can be found via your end-devices.

Step 2

It’s probably caused by wireless interference. To change wireless channel, channel width (refer to here) or get away from a wireless interference source, such as microwave oven, cordless phone, USB3.0 hard drive etc.

Check firmware version of your router (here). Upgrade if it’s not the latest firmware. Contact our support if you need assistance upgrading the firmware.

@Jeffi  Yeah I know what you mean, happened to me in the past as well.

Actions speak louder than words.

Thanks for the very useful information. Already bookmarked it. 

..

Not appropriate for Deco routers. The app provides much more funtionality than the web interface. Also, Deco routers use the cloud based TP Link ID and don't have a local account, if you can't connect to the internet, you can not login to the router.

I'm also facing this same issue. My router connection is dropped sometimes. How to recover it?

Excellent setup, app is stable, and cool features. Was hesitant to switch from netgear after 15 years to TP Link, but I have not regrets and glad I did.
