Purchased a TP-Link TL-WPA281KIT V3. Worked for 1 day, now nothing connects to it
2015-01-13 02:35:30
Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WPA281KIT

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 1.2.4 Build 130530 Rel.39274n

ISP : TALKTALK

Firstly, the site only gave me the option to put hardware V1, when on the status page it says V3.

Ok anyway, bought this kit to get wifi into my room. Plugged them straight both in and i was connected to the LAN, great.

Had a look at the wifi settings, the defaults all looked good, so i took the password and tried it on my Nexus 4. It worked great. The next day, LAN via ethernet still works, but i can't connect wirelessly. it just cycles 'Saved/Connecting'

I actually returned it and got another pair because i thought the first were faulty but i'm getting the same behaviour!

If someone could help me that would be really appreciated!

Thanks

Firstly, TL-WPA281's hardware version only has V1, you can check it in the following link:

Please reset your TL-WPA281 and have a try.

Hi, don't use the default wi-fi SSID and password.

Upgrade the latest firmware first. Then use the utility to configure a new SSID, with WPA2-PSK/AES encryption.

Give it a try : )

Thank you for your reply.

I tried to update the firmware, but when i check the status page nothing has changed (even though it says the upgrade was successful)

Another user here is seeing the same thing with the same gear as me, so maybe TPLINK could look into this

Quick update, i switched the channel width from auto to 20mhz and now my phone has connected. Its been good one day, so i will test the rest of the week and report back
