Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WR841N

Hardware Version : V8

Firmware Version : 3.13.18 Build 120522 Rel.31564n

ISP : Virgin


Hi all 1st post ..

Hopefully one of you can help me out. I bought a TL-WR841N to use instead of our Virgin Super-hub which dropped the wifi regularly. It took me a while but I stumbled with the set up and got it working

Super-hub (in modem mode) - cable - TL-WR841N - 2 x cables running to 2 switches for (TV, Sky+, WII) and (PC, X-Box).

Everything is spot on apart from the other half's Iphone and Ipad. Neither of them can get on the web in the bedroom. Both apples will join the network, but none will be able to get onto the web. The Wifi bars are on display on both products but they just keep spinning and searching to get on the web. I bought a Huawei repeater plug hoping that would work, but it just slows down everything else that can get on the network.
Remembering that this happens only in one room, is there something that I can alter that would let these 2 apples access the web besides walking out on the landing every time she needs to update a web page ?

Thanks for any suggestion you may throw at me :)

jimasek.. thank you for replying. Do I use the same settings that are in your pic? I'm not a wizard with networking set ups.

This is only example, very important is gateway and DNS, I don't know your addresses in network, but gateway is your router IP, DNS from ISP or universal form example 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Thanks again for replying. I have found out the DNS settings for Virgin (194.168.4.100 - 194.168.8.100). Still no joy :( It has me stumped as like I say, all other Wifi connected devices are working fine. If I find out what the problem is I will post back here and let you know. Thanks :)
