Hello all! Greetings from Argentina!
I have a TP-link router model TL-WR841ND V8 that seems to have the WAN port malfunctioning. The wireless is working correctly, but I can't connect to the internet (wired nor wireless) with it and I wanted to try it all before throw it to the garbage (or use it as switch or wi-fi repeater).
Let me say that the cables are correctly connected and the configuration is correct since I can connect to the internet with another router (Belkin)
At first I was getting a "WAN port is unplugged!" message and I wasn't getting IP.
But after I tried a hard reset, firmware update and power cycle, I finally got an IP.
However, I still cannot access the internet. The strange thing (at least to me) is that when I use the diagnostic ping inside the router's web, most of the times I get correct reply (other times I get "time out" or "could not find the host").
But when I tried to ping the same host from a command line, I only get "destination host unreachable".
Is there any other config I could try or can you confirm this is a HW problem and I should grab the trash can?
I hope anyone can help me with this.
Thanks in advance!
