Hey guys a few months ago i got a TP-Link model TL-WR941ND

http://www.tp-link.dk/products/details/?model=TL-WR941N...

Every few days it loses the connection and i have to unplug it for 10 seconds and replug it and the connection picks up again, otherwise the little bars at the bottom show a yellow triangle saying no internet access and the network panel in Windows 8 says Limited Access

The Security Type is WPA2-Personal and the encryption is AES

I have 2 PCs connected wirelessly in different rooms, the router is in the same room as one PC that has a ASUS PCE-N15 11n Wireless LAN PCI-E Card the other is with a USB stick with an antenna on a desk, when the connection works i have no problems really and the ping is completely fine

Thank you for your time reading this and i hope you can help me resolve the problem.

It might be an interference problems with another nearby access point or any other electronic device. Login to the router and change the channel setting in Wireless menu from "auto" to a dedicated channel.

Goto http://tplinklogin.net, login as admin/admin (or the password you set it to), goto the wireless menu and change the channel setting. The router manual has more details.

A friend had that problem and we had to replace the router.

Wow thank you, my download speed was really slow too since yesterday and it seemed to have fixed that instantly

Guess i won't know for sure right away if it worked for the other part but i'll choose this as the answer for now

Thank you so much for the quick replies!

Wow, an hour with ineffectual tech support - they never mentioned this. This is a fix for me. Thank you. I just scrolled down to a random channel about halfway down the list, selected, rebooted - next day still fine. Thank you again!
