Settings randomly reset (?)

Post by morglum »

Hi everyone,

This is the second time it happens since I bought the TL-WDR3600 since summer.

I woke up this morning, and all the settings are back to default.

Anyone had this happen to them?
thanks!

Hi morglum,
A few questions... :)
1) Does this happen very often? what is the frequency that this happens.
2) What version of firmware are you using?
3) Did you perform the firmware upgrade with or without the preserve settings?
4) Have you tried to reset the device to defaults and manually re-configuring the system to see if the issue gets resolved?
5) Is it possible that someone may have performed a reset without your knowledge?

Just wondering as your initial query was quite generic and only mentions the router. :)

1.7.1

I honestly dont remember, that was 6 months ago.

Well, it did reset to defaults by itself. I'll try re-resetting it to default before configuring it. That being said, one crash per 3 months is hard to diagnose (even though it's a pain in the ass)

No
