try restart the modem see if you can get the wlan led up. besides, there is a wifi switch at the back panel, try pressing it.
if that doesn't work, you may need to reset it and reconfigure all over again.

The wirless light is open all the time like it should be i guess. The settings seem fine. I just cant see it. I have 2 devices , both of them cant see it.
Restart, reset, firmware , everything. i have done it.
It worked for 2-3 weeks and then without any changes out of the sudden i cant see it.

Dear TP-LINK,

After countless times to try and fix the hereafter problems and spending hours on your tech lines in China trying to fix them I have no idea where else to turn except the forums in the hope you see this.

Like many others with the W8968 Modem Router we are experiencing sudden disconnections from the internet every 4minutes.

I have used 3 other modem routers with the exact same setup flawlessly with no disconnections so it's 110% the modem routers problem.

I'm pushing this message for you, TP-Link, to release a new firmware version to fix this problem.

I also believe there are other problems incorporating port forwarding,etc aside from this major flaw.

I used to believe TP-Link was a trusted and great company but after my experience I'll be thinking otherwise.

Really hope you can get this sorted.

Regards,

I downloaded this file http://www.tp-link.com/resources/software/TD-W8968_V1_131226.zip
after I have done the upgrade the Wireless has stopped :mad: and only works for 2 mins if I did a factory restore
the status on the router home page for the wifi is enabled although the led is not on and no signal detected

Here in Italy I have the same problem even with the lastest firmware.
Sometimes wifi doens't work at all, it seems to have very high ping but everything is perfect with wired computers!

Please TP-LINK do something!!!
I have a "Computer Science" Diploma and if you need help to investigate in this problem, feel free to contact me.

I recently purchased this router and I think I took a wrong decision by choosing this model. I am using this device in Wifi Router mode using WAN port. Everyday this device wifi stops working after 2-3 hours and I need to reboot the router few times to make it working again. I am pretty sure that my ADSL is stable and only this device wifi is having stability problems.

It's frustrating, that each hour you just have to stand up and go to router and restart it. Had older firmware so tried the latest one from TP-Link website. But same problem. Very inconsistent wifi behaviour. Not at all advisable product to purchase. Fails at very basic need.

Have you tried to disable UPnP?
If not, give it try. Post the result here.
