I've given up with my TP-Link WR1043D after about 18 months - it falls over if it


gets slightly too warm and has a number of irritating minor bugs, for example


some, but not all, internet radio station start buffering after half an hour or so. I


assumed it was issues with the streams, but having switched back to my


bombproof old Netgear DG834G, that streams all stations fine and doesn't fall over


if the ambient temperature reaches 25C or whatever. The TP-Link was very cheap


for the functionality but looks like for once I got what I paid for.




Check out the voltage of the plug top power supply under load, I've had

a couple fail early. They show fine off load, it was the old bad caps

it's a ba-na-na . . . .


Thanks for the tip, might try running it off a proper stabilised PSU for a week then and see what happens.
