TL-WPA4220 stops responding, wifi dropsy after few days of uptime
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello, and thank you for your support. I am finding the same issues described here. The problem in short: everything works great, but after 2-6 days the WPA4220 drops the wifi, its ethernet connection breaks too. LEDs stay the same,but its IP address becomes unreachable. The device was purchased early 2020 and has been happenning weeks after.
I followed the official steps below without success:
Then I tried the additional steps:
1) The LED status is identical to when operating normally. When plugging the ethernet cable nothing changes (ethernet led stays off)
2) It happens every 2-6 days after working correctly. The solution that works is unplugging and replugging the WPA4220, after a minute things go back to normal.
3) Ping results: the wifi network goes down on WPA4220 (when running normally, its IP is 192.168.1.200, gateway is 192.168.1.1), so connection is not possible.
