TL-WDR4300 crashes after about 24 hours

TL-WDR4300 crashes after about 24 hours
TL-WDR4300 crashes after about 24 hours
2012-12-27 01:08:07
Region : Others

Model : TL-WDR4300

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I got a new TP-Link TL-WDR4300, connected it to my online pure sine wave UPS like I did with my previous routers with no problem.
After about 24 hours, router crashes - no access to web interface, no internet (wired or wireless), must reboot to get it to work again.
Router was replaced, same problem with new router.
The firmware is the latest one and is customized for Israel because of 5GHz limitations.
I was told by the representative in Israel that I should try to connect it to another AC outlet instead of the UPS.
I tried that but in the meantime I'd like to hear your thoughts, if you have any ideas on how to fix this or what I should do.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Connecting it to the AC outlet is a good idea. You should have a try to see whether the problem is caused by the UPS or not. And you may reduce the clients connecting to the router. Good luck!

I have a similar problem with this router and latest firmware. After about 24 hours, pppoe connection will be lost. Connect on demand with max idle time 0. It happens every day. Booting adsl modem will not work, router must be rebooted, then ok for a day.
My router is not connect with UPS

Try Connect Automatically to see what happens. Besides, try to set up a broadband pppoe connection on you PC or adsl modem and test 24 hours.

The router crashed again even when it wasn't connected to the UPS.
I tried 2 routers and it was the same with both of them.
I ended up returning the router, now I'm back with my trusty old D-Link DIR-655 and everything is working smoothly and rock solid again.

I think i am late because you have already changed the router. My suggestion is to disable the Hardware NAT on TL-WDR4300 because this function is not working quite as it is expected.

Disabling hardware NAT worked also in my case. Now I have stable ppoe connection longer then 24hour

Yes, disabling this improves the stability, but what is the reason of having this feature, when it makes the router unstable? A fix is required. I hoped, this would be fixed in the december software update, but i was not.
