After i bought the router it was working perfectly. But after using 1 week it freezes now and then. Happens around 10-30 times a day. The one or two led lights stops flashing and no device can connect to the router or asses internet. Another issue is that sometimes i cant connect any device through wifi (tried with android phone and ipod) and and but works perfectly on my pc. If i restart my router is works perfectly but after 1 min-3 hours sames problem happens either router freezes or cant connect though wifi

Just bought a new TP-Link TL-WR720N router. Hooked it up and got internet access just fine. However, when I go to [URL] or http://192.198.0.1 to try and login to setup the router, I just get the standard message:
Username or Password is incorrect. Please refer to the troubleshooting below:
Is the "Caps Lock" enabled on your keyboard? The username and password must be lowercase, please ensure that the "Caps Lock" LED is disabled on your keyboard and try again.Forgot your username or password? Please reset the device to the factory default settings if you have forgotten your username or password. The default username and password are both set as "admin". Note: The settings will be restored to factory default after the resetting.How to restore the device to the factory default settings? Firstly locate the reset button on the rear panel of the unit, whilst the device is powered on press and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds, the device will then reboot and restore itself to the factory default settings. I am using a Cat 5e ethernet cable, I don't have NOD32 or any other antivirus or firewall blocking access, I even changed the settings and disabled IPv6 via ethernet since that was also suggested in the FAQ, but I still don't get a login screen.
I reset the router, rebooted my computer, unplugged the modem/router, reset everything again, double checked the IP address and pinged the router with excellent results, but nothing makes it so the login screen appears.I then hooked up the router to a PC running Windows XP with Internet Explorer 8 and the login screen works fine like you would expect. Went in, adjusted settings, everything works ok. This router is very new, it should support Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9, shouldn't it? I don't want to have to keep old computers around just to login and change settings on my router.There must be some default setting in Windows 7 or in IE9 that causes this issue with the TL-WR720N router. I've tried everything that seems to cause the same issue on other routers, both TP-Link and other brands, and none of those seem to be what's causing this. TP-Link might want to address this ASAP and fix whatever causes it, otherwise this router is not going to do very well in the marketplace if setting it up with Windows 7 PCs with IE9 is a problem. It should work with default settings, same as it seems to with Windows XP and IE8.

I have a BSNL BB connection. When I use the connection directly, without adding TP Link router, all the websites open flawlessly. Once when I connect the wireless router, certain websites for example Yahoomail, pepperfry.com, yepme.com don't open at all. These are just examples, but I'm unable to access many sites which is a bit annoying. But sites such as gmail, youtube, facebook open clean, there are no issues. I didn't make any configuration changes too. I tried it more than three or four times, but there is a restricted access only.

I am using TP-Link TL-WR740N as mentioned.Now I have a problem. In side my LAN I have four different PCs listening as Telnet Server at port 23. I want to create a telnet session over Internet with one of my PCs at a time.How should I do this? I mean what IP and Port number I should use to connect to my desired PC since all of my PCs are showing same public IP and that is of my router's IP.

Even before I did the latest firmware flash I couldn't select short GI under Advanced Wireless - it was simply greyed out even though WMM was enabled above it. Now after a factory reset and recreating all my settings I still can't select it.

I have a TL-WR740N. If router is on and I turn on my laptop it will not automatically connect to the router. I must turn off the router and then turn on again to get connection to the Laptop. I think I have missed something in configuration of the Laptop.

I'm having issues with PPPoE connection. On a daily level, my connection breaks 1-5 times. In the past, it was related to signal problems, but ISP Tech. team fixed this some 10 days ago. Now, whenever I call them they say connection was broken on user request and ask me if I'm running services like torrents.
I don't run torrents and all I have is standard windows update services, nod 32, as well as steam client.
Here's router log from today when last error occured (I "blanked" some user-specific data like my username or MAC address).

The 740N I got is pretty old now so I have another router and I want to use 740N as a bridge to extend my main router's wireless service. The main router has Mac Filtering enabled and I've entered the 740N's Mac address into the main router. I have switched off 740N's DHCP, changed it's IP etc. I can connect to 740N but 740N is not connecting to the main router. I've tried the same thing at my office where the main router is a 8961ND and I successfully bridged and connected the 740N but it's not working at my home.

This wireless router keeps freezing. It might stay up for 6 hours at the most, then I have to reset it or unplug for 10 seconds to get it to reset. I updated the firmware a few months ago thinking this would solve the problem. It hasn't.

I have a weird problem. I bought recently a new router, and when I try to connect to the settings on it on http://198.168.0.1 it sometimes works, mostly doesn't. When I ping other devices which are connected it, it's the same; sometimes get a response, mostly I don't. The router model is: TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Router TL-WR740N, The thing which it's connected to is entitled "ADSL2+ Ethernet bridge router" That aforementioned thing is suppoused to be a modem. But, when I try to connect to its settings from http://10.0.0.138 , I'm able to, and other who are connected to the network give response to a ping.

What would seem to be an ideal way to share a hotel wifi signal with other devices, would be:
Laptop signs into hotel/resort wifi and completes sign-in page. Share wifi signal with TP router via an ethernet cable. TP router acts as hotspot for connection by other devices. This is the method this Apple based article suggests:
[URL]
I have tried this with Windows 7 using a bridge between the laptop wifi and lan adapters. But I must be doing something wrong.
The other option is to use ICS, but not sure then if the hotel's system would see additional devices. (we are limited to 4 where we stay, but exceed that when family visits!)

I bought a TP-Link TL-WR740R Router, the setup went smoothly, I could connect to the internet and set up WiFi connection. But after a few hours, I accidentally unplugged the Ethernet cable from the router, and since then, I can't seem to make the router work. (I obviously plugged it back in.) Setup says I have a problem with the WAN connection.I tried rebooting, resting, reconfiguring, cloning the MAC address.The router is sending packages, but receiving none. How could this happen just by unplugging the cable for a second?

I have TL-WR740N router. ISP should provide me up to 100Mb/s internet speed. Actual measurements shows me about 80 Mb/s. The problem is when I enable 3389 port in Port Triggering my internet speed drops to 2,5 Mb/s. When I disable port triggering, speed become normal again.

My TL-WR700N does its job to provide wired internet to my desktop computer from another wireless router via client mode. However, when it is connected, the other wireless clients connected to the primary router lose their connections. To restore those connections, the WR700N must be powered down and the primary router must be restarted.

I did a hard reset and after that, when i power on the router, it works for aprox. 15 seconds, so i can access the interface at 192.168.1.1, but after those 15 seconds it doesnt respond. The lights are on as if it was perfect, but cant go on admins interface and ping doesnt work either. I did several resets, did the 30/30/30, and clicked on reset to factory defaults on those 15 seconds but nothing happens.
