Wifi drop and packet loss on TL-WR1043ND v2.1 with 1.9.1

[gionn]

Hi,

I just wanna report that with 1.9.1 (on TL-WR1043ND v2) I've started to see frequent connection loss of all wireless devices at the same time, and since reverting to 1.8.1 everything was smooth again.

umm

Most people report the other way round?

I'm going to have to second that. Using TL-WR1043NDv2 with 1.9.1 I had no end of intermittent issues. Wi-Fi dropouts internally, wired LAN client connectivity issues to gateway and most importantly crazy high intermittent ping times from router to any external site (like 20000ms+) resulting in no internet. Pinging from router i could see ping times sometimes steadily increase up to the point that they freeze, then after a variable period of time they would slowly unravel and decrease and may then remain normal for a time (<20ms) until at some point returning to high ping times and essentially lack of service again.
This would happen with a fresh 1.9.1 install, no plugins configured and when no downloading/streaming or any other sort of high bandwidth demand clients connected. I could not find any explanation for it.

I use a WISP provider so speeds can be variable but on average are 4.5Mbup/.5Mbdown.

I was about to give up when I decided to revert to the stable 1.8.1 build.
All I can say it that the router is now solid and behaving as expected.

I know it makes no sense but it is what it is and at least my sanity is restored.
