Hi,
I have a strange connectivity issue. I'm using a TL-WR1043ND router with a pppoE link and 12 wireless devices connected. I have enabled the MAC-Filtering and all these 12 devices are allowed to connect to the network. My laptop model is Acer v3-571G.
Now the problem is, I am having hard time connecting my laptop to this network. My laptop's MAC is allowed to connect. My laptop when connecting to the wireless network gives an error "windows was unable to connect to ssid". After 10 or 15 min, it gets connected. Only once in about 25 times my laptop connects to the network at the first attempt. Other times I'll have to wait for sometime or constantly try connecting to the network again and again.
I do not have this problem in my laptop with any other network (I tried connecting with at least 5 other network). and there is no problem in the router with the other 11 devices. So I don't know whether this is a router problem or laptop problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Things that I've done:
1) I tried re-installing the drivers of my WLAN card.
2) Upgraded the firmware of the router.
3) Made a hard reset of the router, and configured all the settings again.
4) Re-installed windows 7 in my laptop.
5) Tried with wired connection. Had no problems with wired connection.
6) I wanted to know if there was any problems with dhcp, but since I'm not connected to the network, I'm not assigned with any IP.
7) I even tried setting up a static IP, but no use.
