Hi,
I have a Tp-Link TL-WDR4300 router as my main router, connected to my modem. I have an old Asus RT-N13U, in the downstairs floor, set up as access point (DHCP turned off, static IP reserved, different SSID) connected via ethernet cable (LAN port to LAN port) to my main router.
Everything works fine for hours, or even days, until, eventually I no longer get internet connection on any computer, via wifi or ethernet, through my main router. It connects to the LAN, gets a proper IP address, but the LAN doesn't seem to work. I can't even access the configuration page of the main router, nor get internet access.
By simple disconnecting the Asus (AP) router, it's all back to normal on the main router, LAN and internet. If I reconnect the ethernet cable, the problem returns.
Rebooting the Asus router solves it, but eventually, without any configuration changes whatsoever, I get the same issues. I'm starting to consider dumping the ASUS router and buying new one, since it was unstable at times, when it was my main router, but I'm afraid there might be a different issue here.
Any ideas are welcome,
Andre Lebedev
