Recv REQUEST/Send ACK spam and connection dropping

Region : Argentina

Model : TL-WR1043ND

Hardware Version : V2

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I have 2 laptops, 2 PCs, two phones and a tablet in my network. One PC is connected by a cable and other devices by wifi.
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?

If all other clients are working OK, it should be that PC's issue. Update driver of wireless card installed on that PC.

My card is asus pce-ac68, I already have the latest drivers. Also I don't get this issue if I connect this PC to another access point, such as f.ex. my tablet sharing its 3g connection.

Try to change some settings on web interface of TL-WR1043ND. Not sure if it helps.
Channel---1, 6 or 11
Channel Width---20MHz

Thanks for the help! When I saw another REQUEST/Send ACK spam I've first changed the width to 20MHz but it didn't help, then I've changed channel from automatic to 11 and the spam stopped. I need to do more testing to verify that its finally gone but so far it looks good. Whats the logic behind those suggestions?
