TL-WR740N fails to work if Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 connects to it

Region : Ukraine

Model : TL-WR740N

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version : 3.13.2 Build 140814 Rel.39331n

ISP : Volia


Greetings!

I have a problem with TL-WR740N. Generally, it works OK. But, if Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 notebook connects to wireless network of the router, the router fails to work after some time. I.e. approximately 5 min everything works OK, but after that any device can't connect to the wireless network of the router (wired access work OK).

This failure is caused namely by Lenovo notebook (IdeaPad Z710, OpenSUSE 13.2 64 bit), Acer notebook (TravelMate 5720, OpenSUSE 12.3 64 bit) and smartphones connect to the router without any problems.

Please, help.

Best regards,
Oleksii

Hardware version of your WR740N?
Did you try to update driver for the built-in wireless card of your lattop?

Thanks for reply! Hardware version is "WR740N v4 00000000". At lest, this hardware version is displayed in 192.168.0.1.
I didn't try to update the wireless driver on my laptop. My driver version corresponds to 3.16 Linux kernel version. There's only one newer release, it's 3.17. Do you think I should try to use newer one?

Do you have some DNS addresses in DHCP Settings?

No, in DCHP settings ( http://192.168.0.1/) I see that addresses in DNS settings are 0.0.0.0.
cat /etc/resolv.conf gives:
nameserver 192.168.0.1

Hmm, that's strange. On Acer laptop (where everything works OK) I have in /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 192.168.0.1

and on Lenovo laptop (which makes router fail) /etc/resolv.conf gives:

search site
nameserver 192.168.0.1

Can "search site" string be the reason?

I know it, but I told you about enter those DNS addresses in this tab. For example google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or DNS from your provider it's your choose.

Wireless Security - do you have WPA2/AES in settings? Can you check addresses on wireless card from DHCP?
