What about a router flashed with Openwrt...?

@KIMWW 

No idea about that. Check YouTube 

@mr600_v1 I am also facing freezing/disconnection issue.Enabling IGMP Snooping in the Advanced tab DOES NOT MITIGATE te problem. Any other solution?

@Kentthegreet1 Thanks! Enabling IGMP Snooping in the Advanced tab under Network/LAN Settings seems to have solved the issue for me on firmware version 1.2.0 0.9.1 v0001.0 Build 200511 Rel.44954n.

@Guillaume_1978 I am also facing same problem. Operator Vodafone-India.

@KIMWW I am facing the same issue. Using latest firmware. See attachment.

I've switched NAT off in Advanced Tab. See screenshot. I still have disconnections but it's much better than before.

Hi, happy to see that you found exactly all the same issues I've found.

This device seems to be rubbish, first time I buy TPLink and maybe the last. Unfortunately I already bought mesh devices to extend the network, otherwise I had already changed this device with other more affordable brands.

2.4 Ghz flapping up/down in mesh network

WAN/4G connection disconnecting and not reconnecting

device completely freezed sometimes

to solve I always have to reboot or (if LAN is ok) go to settings and enable/disable/change WAN profile.

About the hidden WIFi network I found elsewhere that it is related to mesh network, so I cannot disable it (not a problem if everything worked well....).

Hope they could find a solution, I'm very disappointed.
