Hardware Version: V14
Firmware Version: 0.9.1 4.18 v0348.0 Build 210203 Rel.37242n

The PC which is connected by wifi can suddenly experience frequent disconnects. The frequency is so large you can barely notice it when browsing (slight lag when loading pages) but when I'm playing online games or watching videos over the internet these disconnects are noticeable and quite annoying. When I check the network monitor during the issue it looks like all traffic drops to zero every few seconds. The log on router side during the issue looks like this:

The MAC address is that of the PC experiencing issues, at the same time all other devices are working normally. Is there a way to fix this or determine whats causing such behavior?

Hi, thanks for posting question here.

You may try to update firmware from the official website.

  @Marvin_S I updated it as you said and I'm using the latest version, but still this error persists.

Hi, thanks for your update.

Is your computer connected to the router wirelessly or via cable? When did you purchase the router? When did the issue start happen?

 

If only your computer is experiencing frequent dropouts , there are several potential reasons and troubleshooting steps you can take:
    1. Check Wi-Fi signal strength: Ensure that the affected PC is within range of the TP-Link router and not obstructed by obstacles. Consider repositioning the router or using Wi-Fi range extenders to improve coverage.
    2. Adjust wireless channel: Change the wireless channel on the router to minimize interference from neighboring networks.
    3. Check wired connections: If the affected PC is wired, try using different Ethernet cables and ports to rule out any issues with the connections.
    4. Update client device drivers: Make sure the network adapter driver on the affected PC is up to date.

And you may log into the web interface of the router, go to Network > WAN, change Primary DNS Server as 8.8.8.8 and Secondary DNS Server as 8.8.4.4 for a try.
