Model :

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I have this tl-WR740N router and it worked great for months with a range of 20 meters, but now it is down to 1 or 2 meters.

I tried to upgrade the firmware, but the result is the same.

The channel and channel width are set to "auto".

I have tried to see if there is anything new near the antenna; I don't think so.

What options do I have?

Is it possible that something is broken?

Do you have only one device in the network? Can you check wifi range for another devices?

I made tests with my laptop and cellphone: same result.
I downloaded "Wifi analyzer" on google store. The signal is at maximum near the router and at 70% in the other room about 12 meters (where I was able to connect before).
Now I get 3 meters connection.

I received few similar comments from TP-Link customers in Argentina. Until now we don't know the cause, neither how to diagnose this issue.
