I have a TP-Link TL-WDR3600 configured as a wireless access point, uplinking to a Virgin Media broadband router. The configuration was done as per this article:
http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-417.html

When I first connected my Windows 8 laptop to the TP-Link (wirelessly) I had full connectivity - I was able to connect to the wireless printer, NAS (which is physically connected to the Virgin Media router) and internet. After resuming from sleep however I lost access to all LAN resources (NAS, printer, other PCs) - but retained internet connectivity.

The IP address of the Virgin router is 192.168.0.1 (with DHCP enabled). The IP address of the TP-Link is 192.168.0.254 (with DHCP disabled). It is uplinked to the Virgin router via a LAN port (not the WAN port). The laptop's IP address is 192.168.0.52.

Any idea why I should suddenly lose access to other resources on the LAN?
 
Solution
Try disabling IPv6, also try using Ethernet cable.

If none of those things fix it then connect back with wifi and tell post what it says when you go to command prompt and type in ipconfig /all

No - after a reboot the situation persisted (internet but no access to LAN resources)
