Unstability issues with TL-WR940N router
Model :
TL-WR940N
Hardware Version : WR940N v2/WR941ND v5 00000000
Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 150311 Rel.62186n
ISP : Kernel
Hey.
So I've been experiencing some stability issues with my 10 months old TL-WR940N router.
Let me start from the beginning.
I used to experience random connection losses once per month or maybe twice per week when on quite heavy use. We couldn't connect this problem with anything and it kind of didn't bother us that much. So it stayed that way.
Over time the issue started to get worse.
For example, we have 2 computers connected to the router. Now when one computer is being used to watch Youtube video (download) and the other one to upload a video to Facebook the router kills the internet connection and it can only be reestablished when power cycle is performed.
It used to be like that and it was kinda avoidable and I could let that issue be but now over time it has been getting worse, until now when the connection is killed when I by accident or on purpose play two Youtube videos simultaneously, leading the connection loss multiple times in an hour which is VERY frustrating.
Now I've tested this and when I don't do a power cycle and just reboot my router it says that the WAN port is disconnected, when it obviously is connected. I also thought that maybe the modem was faulty or something and plugged the cable from modem to my computer straight and the connection was okay, meaning the problem should be with the router.
We used to have also TV and mobiles connected to the router but now with such unstability issues we only have two computers connected, to not have random simultaneous uploads/downloads which is what kills the connection mostly.
Also the router won't shut down or anything, also no other device won't shut down or anything, there is just no internet connection coming from the router anymore.
One computer is connected via LAN cable and the other one uses external Linksys AE3000 adapter if this matters.
