TP-Link ADSL2+ Wireless :: TD-W8951ND Generating High Data Usage With No Devices Connected
May 3, 2013

Model : TD-W8951ND
Hardware Version : V5
Firmware Version : 22.05.2012
ISP :
I have a TD-W8951ND v5 on the latest firmware.
I recently broke my broadband data cap which surprised me as I had not been using the internet much.
I only have tablet which I switched off having first checked the router to make sure there were no other wireless connections and adding MAC address filtering to be sure no one else was stealing my bandwidth. With just my router connected to the ISP, my ISP has recorded 170MB of downloaded data in 3.5 hours. Switching off the router stops the traffic being recorded (as you would expect), but when switched back on the large data transfers start up again.
I have plugged in an older router (not wireless) and no traffic is generated, so it seems to be the TP-Link router rather than my ISP or ADSL circuit that is at fault.

The product manual of TD-W8951ND V4 states that it's supports MAC spoofing. But in the product itself, it is nowhere to be found. I tried contacting the customer care via email but they are too lazy to respond. If they disabled this feature then why in the world they mentioned in the manual. I double checked the manual before buying this model. Now I stuck with it.

I have two comps in LAN (Ethernet) - one (Comp1) in WinXP, another (Comp2) in Win7. IPs for both comps are assigned by DHCP. Internet is available for both Comps and for assigned wireless units. So the router is configured almost well. But I lost my home net: can't see or ping anything in LAN. Setting of static IPs (192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.6 are permitted)

I have setup some static addresses but now some of them need to change... But I can't see how to amend the DHCP table..There must be a way of doing this beyond altering the DHCP range so I can put them all in againLAN Setup.JPG.

In trying to make sure it was NOT wide open to the internet (amongst many other problems of setting it up, which I ,may address later if I can actually connect to the thing ever again) I told it to only accept connections from a range of address inside the LAN. Now it wont accept anything except telnet from the LAN.Short of wiping out 6 hours of trial and error configuration and resetting it, are there any other options I can exercise via the telnet interface?

My router TD-W8951ND remembers only a dozen of latest logs. Previous, older logs disappears. Why? Is there any way to force router to keep logs from, for example, the last 12 or 24 hours?It is important to me because i have some problems on my adsl line and i want to know what happens with connection while I am not in home or when I sleep.If it will be necessary I am able to log onto my router using Telnet, just give me required commands to fix this problem with logs.

The wireless adapter settings page has an entry for 'PIN' and 'PBC' for WPS.Selecting either always results in the client station requesting the routers pin, indicating that the pushbutton selection is not working properly.The router was doing this with the version of hardware that it was shipped with. i have downgraded to 120522 and the router is behaving exactly the same.Has anyone successfully configured the router for pushbutton connection? do not suggest that we use the pin setting as we have a requirement for dumb devices to connect to wireless and they only support pushbutton connection.

I'm thinking of purchasing a Cisco Linksys EA6500. I need a router that can one monitor bandwidth used by device. Keep exceeding our ISP's network bandwidth allocation, need to identify the devices that are causing this high usage and be able to do so from the router. Does the EA6500's standard software support this, is their router software one can obtain for the unit that does this or is there another home router option that can perform this function?

hardware version is WR841N v8.wireless works just fine. i use it for my smartphone and an old laptop. i use ethernet cable to connect to main computer where all is ok until i start using my bit torrent client. as soon as i build up traffic above 1MB the ethernet portion of the router freezes and needs a reboot. when frozen, wireless is still working and i still have access on the lan to the router via my browser. i got this router so i could have wifi for my phone. my old router (asus rx3041) worked just fine and i accessed my isp at the maximum speeds it would allow on a 60 gigabit connection.

I want to add more users to my home network and I couldn't, at this moment I only can connect 8 devices (12 devices at least) when I try to connect the next one its impossible, but if I take off one of the connected devices then the router allows to connect the new one.How can I connect more than 8 devices to my router ? (wireless)Also, is there any limits with Wireless MAC Address Filter ? because I can't add more than 8 MAC addresses in my old router I could do that.

I also have it connected by hard wire to my Direct T.V DVR Model HR 24 to run T.V app's such as Pandora music etc. It will only stay connected for 5-10 minutes then drops out, any suggestions other then buying a different brand modem/router.

I'm using MAC address filtering on my network, and have no problem adding new devices as and when we purchase them. However, a lot of these items such as smart phones with wi-fi, Kindles etc don't seem to have a name that identifies them on the device info page. All of our laptops and desktops are identified, but none of the phones etc. Is it possible to assign names to MAC addresses at all?

Not sure if I should be here or software but I'll start here. My question is I want to split my data plan with users on one pc, eg 3 users on windows 7 giving them 60gb each then shuts off when it is reached? I have tried looking online but seem to only find stuff about timelimits.

I recently switched over to a new cable modem/wireless router, which is the Zoom DOCSIS 3.0 (Model: 5350-00-03). Me and my brothers have set up a second router, a Netgear N300 (Model: WNR2000v2), on the other side of the house. After the switch, our data usage has been increasing. I just want to know if having two routers affect more data usage.

Have a problem coming my way with regards monitoring 3g data usage on an 887 router. The router will carry two links - x1 primary over the serial port and x1 secondary failover link utilizing 3g.
The 3g sim has an allowance of 1Gb per month (traffic has been baselined and this seems sufficient - not by me though).I have a requirement to monitor the 3g link and trigger an alert at say the 60% mark (600Mb). Whatever mechanism is used to count the data also has to reset to 0 at the beginning of every month as data stats will be included in monthly reports.
Second conundrum, I also have to somehow split out the data usage stats to show my customers usage as well as my own. My own being management traffic (mainly snmp and icmp) and present this in the monthly report.
#1 - Does the 887 have some form of 3g accounting capability either via gui or cli that can fulfil my requirements above?
#2 - With splitting the data usage stats, could this be achieved using netflow and if it was possible, could i only have my flows sent down the Primary link (obviously only when it is active) and if the box fails to 3g have netflow just count the data until the Primary kicks in again.If no built in features can give me what i want i my go down the eem scripting route burt this is a last resort.

Received this notice from ISP. Does this make sense:We have noticed we are getting a huge number of queries from X.X.X.X and it is showing to be about 98% of the DNS traffic hitting our name servers. It appears that the data consists of reverse lookups to 10.1.0.0 network. It needs to be remediated as soon as possible because it could cause a service interruption.It almost seems as if my router is acting as a DNS server. The isp data consists of reverse lookups to 10.1.0.0 network which would be the internal.

I just got a DIR-655 and set it all up pretty easily. I have 6 wired and 3 wireless. All work fine and all are set to use DHCP. But if I go (in the router) to the Lan Computers list under Device Info, three devices (2 wired, 1 wireless) do not appear. I do have a switch added to the system, but of the three devices connected to it, 1 shows in th Lan Computers list and the other 2 do not.Since everything works, I'm mostly just curious why this is. Every previous router I've had showed everything correctly.

When a physical switchport/routed port has high usage, you can move the link to a higher capacity port, upgrade the port, bond links, etc. What exactly do you do when an SVI has high usage? I guess you could remove some servers from the VLAN, but that doesn't seem like a reasonable solution. What dictates the capacity of an SVI? The backplane of the switch?

I have a 1841 router plugged into a 100M Comcast ethernet connection. My router cpu is really high and users download speed isn't as high as before. Can a 1841 handle 100M circuit with 100 users on it? What would cause the router's cpu to be high? I don't think there are any viruses or malware on the lan.

I have a Cisco 1921 router and it uses 99% of CPU and i cant seem to spot wich process that is taking up the cpu. I have an interface with several sub-interfaces and i am moving data between two of those subnets, i tried the "ip route-cache same-interface"-command on giga bit ethernet 0/1 with all the sub-interfaces like gigabitethernet 0/1.18 and so on. That did not work.
