Loses WAN & wireless connection on wake from sleep
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-W8968
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 0.6.0.1.1 V0005.0 bld 12016 rev 48690
ISP : Talktalk
Hi, yesterday (GMT) I received and installed my new TD-W8968 from Amazon and seemed to work a dream.. until today. The router connects to my desktop PC via a wired LAN connection but uses the wireless for laptop, TV, smartphone etc.
Today I notice that when my PC wakes from sleep the LAN connection is lost. None of the LAN lights are on. And also there is no wi-fi connection either and even though WLAN light is on there is no signal at laptop.
Setup is pretty much out of the box though I did reset channel to avoid conflicts locally. This is set to 7. The PC LAN adapter is enabled and ready but no apparent connection to router.
I changed the router LAN port and that seemed to work but after I had the problem again this change did not work. I changed the LAN cable and that seemed to work until next sleep! Then fail again!!!
Is there anything on LAN adapter or router that needs changing? Am I on the latest firmware and would an upgrade fix this?
