Can I replace firmawre TP-Link WDR4300 to DD-WRT to use it?, either my TP-link already has VPN,NAT,QOS,..etc like as DD-WRT so does need to replace firmware for better?
Does TP-Link WDR4300 support with DD-wrt? Is it working clearly without any problem?

I've got two WDR3600
the first one is the main router:
- connected to ISP modem
- DHCP on
- 2.4Ghz radio to serve WiFi clients security WPA-PSK
- 5GHz radio to link to the second WDR3600
protocol 802.11n only
the second WDR3600 is WDS of the main router:
- DHCP off
- 2.4GHz radio to serve WiFi clients security WPA-PSK
- 5GHz radio to link to the first WDR3600
protocol 802.11n only
All is working fine, however WDS connection works only with security off. WPA-PSK is not selectable, cannot test WPA2, no radius server available, WEP not supported due to incompatibilty with 802.11n protocol. Is this the expected behaviour? How to get WDS working with WPA-PSK encryption? Could this be due to the firmware or s it a limitation of Atheros chipset?

I'm using a WDR3600 router, and I'm having difficulty with getting internet access on the 5 GHz band. Right now the router is broadcasting in both 2.4 and 5 GHz as two separate APs. The 2.4 GHz band works perfectly fine, but when I connect to the 5 GHz band my device is not assigned an IP address and cannot connect to the internet (or even the router configuration page). Unfortunately, I don't have another device capable of accessing the 5 GHz band, so I can't check to see if the computer is at fault, but both the computer and the router have worked together with no problems before, and this computer has done fine in accessing other 5 GHz bands.
I'm about to jump on the bandwagon and drop my whr-g125 running tomato for a new wireless-n router that runs tomatousb. I can't seem to find a dual-band one that is supported.
Need:
- Wireless-n dual-band (2.4ghz+5ghz). Doesn't have to be the super fast type.. whatever is entry for this.
- At least 1 usb port for printer sharing
- Prefer gigabit, but I can live without
- Must be able to run Tomato in some form, or if I have to, run dd-wrt as a last resort.
Cisco RV220W works in 2.4GHz or 5GHz.There is any plan to support these bands simultaneously?

I have no problems connecting on a 5 GHz band or wired to the router. However any device connecting on 2.4 Ghz gets barely any bandwidth and drops after running for a short time. I have test numerous devices and have the same issue. What was odd is a device on 5GHz that worked fine had the same issue when connecting on 2.4 GHz which seems to say it is only that band. I have an old router that works fine on 2.4 GHz on channel 1 with all the security settings I used on the 4300.

I've this dualband wireless router since a week.Now I found out, NFS is working very slow (actually NFS is not working at all).I have a Mede8er and a synology NAS server connected to the TP-LINK WDR3600 router.I have movie directories shared on the NAS using NFS.when I go to the NFS locations in my mede8er it takes very long before I can see the NFS mapping.When I connect the Mede8er straight to the Synology NAS server (Cross Cable connection) NFS is working as it should be.So the TP-LINK WDR3600 cannot handle the NFS protocol?

Get GMT throws an error. I set known good public NTP servers, still get error. Also power cycling or rebooting the router seems to drop manual time settings, as well. I am using WDR4300 as a wireless access point, does that matter? Maybe I don't need time in access mode? It is connected to the Internet and is providing internet access to clients.

I have an issue with my TL-WDR4300 (regular, internet sharing use, no Open WRT or similar things). It was working well, until one day that my devices only receive the 2.4 GHz signal (no 5 GHz) and then I try to connect to 2.4 GHz and it asks for a password. I put my regular password and it doesn't work. Then I tried to bring it to factory default settings, I push the reset button for 8 seconds as the manual points and then same thing. What could I do?

ISP : I have an external HDD that I regularly use in any computer I have access.It's an HDD enclosure 2.5" 3.0 USB, with a 750GB WD HDD inside. I use it in computers with all versions of USB, even in my TV. It doens't require an external power source, and just have 01 input/output, which is a USB port.After plugging it in the router (running with the last available firmware from TP-LINK - 3.13.27 Build 121207), I entered the setup screen of the router, and under USB Settings, pressed RESCAN, but the HDD wasn't recognized.What happens is that when I plug it in the router, the LED in it starts blinking (in normal usage, the LED becomes red for a couple of seconds, and then becomes steadly blue, when it gets connected into a equipment). It is probably a matter of power, as if the router wasn't providing enough power to it when it's plugged.Afterwards, I've made the following tests:
1) Used this External HDD in 3 different equipments (a notebook, a netbook and a TV), with different versions of USB ports. It was recognized and read normally in all of them.
2) I tested a pendrive with the router. After RESCAN, it was shown normally in Storage Sharing page.
3) I have downgraded the firmware to 120509 version, plugged the HDD in the router, and once again, it was an unsuccessful try.
What I can conclude from those tests is that:
1) My External HDD is working normally;
2) The router's USB port is working properly;
3) So, if both are working, it can only be a matter of compatibility between them.

after changing from a Thomson router with wifi to the TP-link WDR-4900 I find that the wifi is very unstable. The 2.4GHz is operating on the same channel as my previous router (channel 8 - which is the lest busy channel around my house), and none of my neighbours have wifi on the 5GHz band. Almost all devices in my home regularly have to reconnect to the wifi, both on the 2.4GHz as on the 5GHz (tested with more than 8 devices). Almost every 15 minutes I see a "wifi channel disconnected" message, 10 seconds later followed by a "wifi connected" message. the Wifianalyser app on my tablet confirms that the wifi signal drops once in a while to zero. I use the latest stable frmware (I read that there is beta firmware but I don't like to loose warranty). The stability seems to unrelated to the amount of traffic on the wifi network.
Will this be fixed in the next firmware of the TP-WDR-4900 ?

Recently I replaced my Linksys WRT54G for a TP-Link WDR4300. But unfortunately this did not result in an increased speed.On both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz speed is limited to roughly 2.5-3 MByte/s, which is OK for watching movies etc. but I could reach those speeds with the 802.11g router as well!
I'm using the WDR4300 as access point, so I disabled DHCP server and NAT functionality, left the WAN port empty. And I set fixed IP in the subnet range of my modem/router. (horrible Speedtouch device). All works fine and stable, but too slow.
In the wireless settings I tried the 20 and 40MHz bandwith, disabled WMM, tried to lower the transmission power, tried to set a fixed channel. But all those changes do not have a significant influence on the transfer speed. (both on 2.4 and 5GHz) I'm the only 5GHz access point in my neighborhood, so interference cannot be a problem.
The clients indicate a link speed of 300mbps very close to the router, and this drops to indication of 54mbps further away, but effective link speed remains fairly constant (and stable!) (I find it strange that indicated link speed already drops at 3 meters with clear line of sight to the router)
I did the tests with fixed IPs on two laptops and no devices connected on the LAN ports, to rule out problems caused by the modem/router or other clients.The tests were done using a Lenovo x220 and Asus Zenbook, both with Intel dual band 802.11n wifi interfaces. The Lenovo reaches 22MByte/s via the Cisco access point at my work (with less signal as at home).

My DSL connection comes into our house in the basement and the DSL modem came with a router included. I bought the WDR4300 for the higher speed wireless connections and the gigabit ports. I really don't need the "router" functionality. I would like to put the WDR4300 on the second floor to give (hopefully) the broadest wireless range. However, I would like all my PCs (including those wirelessly connected) to be on the same sub-net. Is there a way to configure the WDR4300 so it acts like a switch rather than a router?

I'm having difficullty configuring a USB hard drive to my WDR3600
The WRD3600 is acting as a switch with my netgear cable modem router as the DHCP server. The DHCP server on the WRD3600 is turned off. the WRD3600 is accessible on my home network and I can connect to attached wifi and Ethernet devices.
when I attach my WD USB hard drive, I can see the device on the WDR3600 web GUI USB settings page. The WD hard drive service status is started and enabled. when I click on the open the disk link, nothing happens. When I try to access the 192.168.x.x/volume1 address, I get a page that says the username or password is incorrect.
When I disconnect the WDR3600 from the rest of my network and turn the DHCP server back on and connect directly to the router, i am able to access the connected usb hard drive.
is it possible to have the WDR3600 acting as a switch with DHCP server off and still access usb devices connected to it?

My ISP has provided me a router: Zyxel P-2601HN which has an ideal WLAN transfer rate of 150 mbps. I live in a concrete 2 story house so signals are weak at best on the other floor - therefore, I Have bought the TL-WDR4300 as an extension for the latter floor. I have connected the routers from LAN to LAN and the Zyxel has 192.168.1.1 on LAN and the TL-WDR4300 had 192.168.0.1 as out set. I have changed this to 192.168.1.2 and all the setup (disabled DHCP + other) seems to work alright. BUT i can not log into the TL-WDR4300 !! Not with http://192.168.1.2 and not with [URL]. What I can do to get into the setup of TL-WDR4300. I know I can alays backup the setting and reset the router and load the setting again, make alterations, saving .....but it kind of drastic !Can the two radios SSID names (2,4 MHz and 5 MHz) be the same name as the SSID name on the Zyxel P-2601HN ? What are the implications ?

I purchased a WDR4300 yesterday and have set it up. The internet is running smoothly although the transfer speed is rather slow. When transferring from my computer to my Seagate GoFlex Home i get about 6 - 8 mbps with Wireless N. The router is set to only use Wireless-N and my laptop has the latest drivers. I have also tried other computers in the house and the speed is the same. The GoFlex Home is connected to the router via a LAN cable. Prior to updating i used a Linksys WRT54GL and managed speeds of about 3 or 4 mbps over its G only connection. As for transfers between 2 computes the rate is about 1 - 3 mbps
As for distance the Wireless router is only about 1.5 meters from the laptop (across the room) with nothing in between them to cause interference. I have also checked what channels my neighbors use (using inSSIDer) and picked 13 as there is only 1 other person nearby on that channel and they are quite far away.

This is frustrating I owned the router for about 2 weeks. my 2.4ghz is out. Basically I connect to the router on 2.4 can get into the tp-link admin webpage for the router but no internet at all. if I switch to 5 ghz everything works great, or if i use direct connect wire everything is great. I tried disabling NAT but that shut down all my internet connections across all links and manually switching to channel 1 did nothing at all i also tried channel 7. Ideas why only 2.4 ghz is affected out of the blue all of a sudden?

I've been using inSSider on Windows and trying different settings on my 4300 to get wireless n @ 300MHz working with no luck. The maximum I seem to be able to get it to run is 144MHz.
Is this a fault with the router or the firmware? Since the router is advertised to run at 300Mhz, then by rights if it does not or cannot, then TP-Link owes everyone a refund, at least in Australia because this counts as false advertising.
I had a similar issue with my 1043ND as well. Has anyone got a 4300 working at 300 MHz?
