Hi,
I bought this modem today and after configuring it with details provided by Airtel, I could access the internet.
However, after a use of 2-3 minutes I see that the modem starts dropping packets. Below is status on ping that I do to the modem (192.168.1.1)

64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=309 ttl=64 time=0.816 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=310 ttl=64 time=0.870 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=311 ttl=64 time=0.793 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=312 ttl=64 time=0.782 ms
^C

You can see its 24% packet loss.

Here's the output of ifconfig

$ ifconfig -a

Because of this the connection is rendered useless for some productive use.

Pl. help

Hi Sanjay,

I downloaded the latest firmware as well but no luck.

Did you or anyone from TP link found you a solution?
