wow glad im not the only one with these problems. wifi drops out like every 2 minutes or when im trying to download a big file. most annoying thing ever. ive tried ack timing, different channels, transmit power, went back to stock firmware then back to ddwrt, then to a brainslayer firmware and still wifi drops. went back to stock and then to gargoyle. i dont wanna jinx myself but ive been cruising the internet downloading all i can and it hasnt dropped yet.

Let us know any news Surprised


thats it im done with this router. im returning it to amazon. i put gargoyle on and it, looked promising not dropping wifi for a couple hours before bed time. got up this morning and as i was surfing it did the thing where it sits and tries to load a site but doesnt actually lose the wifi signal. the an hour later it did drop the wifi and it just did it again. can someone suggest a nice router i can get from amazon that i can throw ddwrt on it with detachable antennas with good range. im wondering if i should try an asus. ive just tried this tplink one and went back to my dlink which works good with ddwrt but doesnt have that great of range.

I don't understand why dd-wrt developer/administrator/guru don't explain us what is the problem of wifi with our router..

Why with original firmware doesn't drop and with dd-wrt it does..

Just an explanation..

So a few days back some mention increasing the senstivity range to 2500 might solve it. Today my Wifi dropped and had to power down the unit for a minute to resolve it.

Still not fixed. Oh well...

Might have to go back to stock just so that I can get reliable Wifi

Getting fed up with DD-WRT dropping and going to revert back to Stock Firmware.

http://dd-wrt.com/routerdb/de/download/TP-Link/TL-WR1043N(D)/1.x/tl-wr1043nd_v1-webrevert.rar/4196

Does anyone done this before? Do I use the above and flash it?

if you use router in a house (not long range link) you need to decrease not increase ACK. Please, try once again. Set ACK Timing to 0 or 300 and report back. This solved my wifi errors...

I have changed it to 300. 0 if you go back a page says that it may cause issues. I will see but I doubt it will make any difference.

Could someone see the 2 post above and let me know if that is the correct way to flash it back to the default factory firmware please.

Edit: After 14 hours wifi dropped out completely, couldn't access router again had to restart...

Also I found the flash to original firmware stuff. Anyone else interested: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=85237

At the moment this DD-WRT is too unstable and just can't hold a Wifi connection Sad

Hi,

Well, I think I resolved my problem with the Wifi.

In my case, I use Build 21061, but I probed others Builds with the same problem.

After much probe, I found that with using static IP the Wifi not work fine but if the DCHP assigning the IP, the Wifi works perfect. No fall.

I don't know if with my solution, others routers will function fine. But I think that I must share my solution.

Sorry for my English, it's not my mother tongue.

Greetings.

I have the similar problem on TL-WR1043ND. I am already using the latest build DD-WRT v24SP2- (03/25/13) std (SVN revision 21061).

But I don't know why, I find the following wifi security setting works for me: Security mode set to WPA2 Personal and algorithm set to AES only

See if it works for others too.

I registered just to say thanks!

I just bought (2016-04) fresh new TP-LINK tl-wr1043nd, put newest dd-wrt firmware, it works, until I configure it. However I did not realise putting static IP can break wifi, that is just crazy. But yes, it worked before I put static IP for wifi client, and it stopped after. I realise this thanks to you.

Changed to dynamic IP for my wifi radio, and it works again!

I found this thread with google, I write this solution here, so that others can find it. Weird bug. But easy workaround, dynamic IP is fine for me.
