1043ND radio issues

[Maserman]

First of all I'd like to say hello to everyone due to the fact that I am new to the forums.

It's been seven months since I bought the TL-WR1043ND and made it run under Gargoyle. Everything has been fine until now, the WIFI seems to cause some troubles. I have one notebook connected wirelessly and from time to time it drops the connection (it says that Windows was unable to connect to the network), although the network is still visible and I am able to connect to it from my android phone, also the wireless printer refuses to scan or print, the only way to make it back to work is to reboot the router.

I would love to have this issue solved, however it appears that many 1043ND users experience the same problem. I've learned that is it connected to drivers of the radio and it has not yet been fixed. I had been running the 1.5.4. with Polish translation when it all occured, then I upgraded to the official, English 1.5.8 but nothing had changed.

I would love to see some logs, does Gargoyle have any option to see them? I've also heard there is a script that scans the logs and if it sees a specified error, it reboots the radio. I must add that I am not very familiar with all the Linux stuff.

Best regards.

Hi Maserman,

There seems to be some additional information related to the problem in this thread, and also in the 1.5.8 thread. I have a TL-WR1043ND with 1.5.8 and am experiencing the same problem, but I just quickly pull the power when it happens and its back up within a minute.

There was also talk of an updated daily development build here, but there doesnt appear to be anything about wireless in there, but could be worth a shot if you are feeling adventurous.
