Hello,

 

If you want to connect this WR840N to your existing wireless router, you can enable the WDS bridging function to give it a go.

https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1385/


But if the connection is not stable, you need to confirm below:

1. When the WR840N stops working, with your computer connected to it, please check if you still get an IP address/gateway from it.

2. Ensure the internet connection on your main wireless router is stable, you may connect a phone or laptop to it and confirm.

3. How far away between the 2 routers? Try to move the WR840N closer to the main router.

4. Ensure that the firmware of the WR840N is up-to-date. 

 

Good day.
