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 story

Yup had a bunch of D-Link switches fail for just that reason (internal
PSU rather than soap on a rope, but same principle and fix).

Probably had half a dozen TP-Link switches in the field now for a few
years - not had any failures.
