Signal Drops

Thomka · July 9, 2017

Hello!

I have bought TL-WR941ND Router Wireless and from time to time signal drops and i need to go to restart it and signal comes again . Now its worse, drops and when i restart it, signal comes after and lose again and the process repet for 4-5 times, and its annoying when i play some games. (ive played today 2 LOL matches

I need to buy another router, more powerfull, or make a new contract with the provider?

I have 3 phones, 2laptops and 1 PC, but only PC runs all the time and 2 phones, i dont think is too much for him. I have to say that its in plan an expasion of house, where will come more PC in home, i dont know if will be always on

I hope I dont make some major spelling mistakes. Im not a very good english speaker

Connection dropping should be the router itself, not your ISP. Your router might actually be having issues dealing with the number of devices as that router was released in 2008, a time of far fewer devices being connected. Of course I could be wrong. I personally would look around for a router that was made at least in 2011/2012, someone else might be able to recommend a specific model that is reliable and not expensive.

Have you updated to the latest firmware? If not you can try to do that. If so, then yeah, it might be time for a new router. You could look at the TP Link Archer C7, at least in the US its under $100, plus its an AC router, which is a pretty current standard.

Yes, ive upgraded the firmware since ive bought it and I was thinking exactly the same router, i read somewhere is the most popular one

But I hope I will have the same platform, i mean if i can set it to transmit 802.11 n/ac mixed cause i i have old device too.

Im pretty sure mixed is possible. At least going down as far as wireless N. B and G Im not sure of. I didnt really look too much in to the firmware when I setup my sisters.
