@DrKalvin Hola 

This is useless, tplink does not care, they haven't release ANY fix, the customer rep has completely vanished.

I installed openwrt in my unit and now it works perfectly and even better than the useless firmware tplink makes.

I have also loaded the most current OpenWRT image to my V2 TL-WA1201. It's a little bit of a learning curve, but worth it in my opinion. I don't use VLANS, so it was more just to learn OpenWRT. I don't think there is a V3 image yet. TP-Link still makes good products at a decent price. I'll see some of you on the OpenWRT forum.

PLEASE IGNORE THE MODEL SELECTION - I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE AND MY WIRELESS AP WAS NOT ON THE LIST

 

I've just installed a TL-WA1201 wireless AP into my home network and wish to use it's multi-ssid feature to broadcast 3 different ssids for the 3 VLANs set up on my network. I have it set up like this:

 

SSID 1 (2g+5g) - VLAN 20 - IP address 10.0.20.1

SSID 2 (2g+5g) - VLAN 30 - IP address 10.0.30.1

SSID 3 (2g+5g) - VLAN 40 - IP address 10.0.40.1

 

The issue is when connected to any of the 3 SSIDs devices get intermittent packet loss and I've not been able to find the cause. Things I have tried:

- Loading webpages - about 80% of pages won't load

- Pinging 1.1.1.1 - results in 30-70% packet loss

- Pinging google.com - results in 30-70% packet loss

- Pinging default gateway - results in 30-70% packet loss

- Connecting to every SSID with multiple different devices - issues persist

- Changing ethernet cables - issues persist

- Swapping from PoE injector to direct power - issues persist

- Connecting physically to each vlan with ethernet - no packet loss or internet issues whatsoever

 

Everything points to the TP link AP being faulty but before I return it I wondered if anyone here had any ideas?

  @MHAdZ If you want to learn OpenWRT, here is the link to the current WA1201 Version 2 firmware.
