Default tp-link router died

Hmm, most odd. I thought the innards of these things tended to be the same
just badge engineered tese days.


No they are not.

Dont't buy a tp-link ADSL wireless router ! Mine only lasted just over a
year. It was working but I could not access its http console (visitor
wanted the pass phrase), so I restarted it (power cycled). After that it
acted as an ethernet switch but nothing else. It was as if the control
part of the device had failed.
It would not even respond to the reset button, so no return to factory
presets possible.
Replaced with a netgear one - the previous netgear router I had lasted
years.
I know none of these are high end devices, but they should do the job.
DIY ? Well I bought it myself and plugged it in myself ;-)
