Hi, I recently bought the VR600 to replace my current modem
In the VR600 I use 2 LAN ports:
1. A server I have near the VR600,
2. Connected to a WDR4300 router which I use as access point for the rest of the house.

If I make a wireless connection to the WDR4300 everything works fine.
But when I try to connect to the VR600 wirelessly, I have a couple of minutes delay
until I can access the server that is connected to it by LAN!

If I disconnect the WDR4300 the problem stops, but then I have no internet in the rest of the house.

needless to say I have set the WDR4300 correcly (turned off DHCP, and set ip address outside of the VR600 dhcp server range)
I have never encountered that problem with the older modem I replaced...


Thanks in advance.
Maor

I have added Wireshark recording file when accessing the VR600 vs WDR4300 to show how the ARP requests are being ignored.
maybe someone can shade some light on this mystery...

I went ahead to rule out the ones that will say that my WDR4300 is causing the problem and borrowed an Archer C7 from the family
I still experience the same results. so something is extremely off with the way VR600 is handling an AP connected to it and roaming between networks

I also did some network capturing with Wireshark to show you how the VR600 is simply ignoring the broadcast requests to give away the identity of SERVER until certain point

* negotiation with WDR4300 to discover SERVER
* negotitation with VR600 to discover SERVER

@rabak Hi - i have the exact same problem (and I note a few others on this forum too).  I don't suppose you ever found a resolution to this, other than replacing your router? 

 

Thanks

Brian

@Kevin_Z ha!  See this one - https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/195996?replyId=411910&utm_source=Subscription&utm_medium=email

 

I'm trying to find a solution to my problem and the TP LINK community seems a good place to try and find one.  So forgive me if I'm asking other folk if they have found issues to similar problems...or indeed if i'm a little frustrated that my TP LINK products don't work brand new out of the box like my old equipment did.
