If you are sufficiently 'techie', you might wish to try putting OpenWrt on it.

The most recent OpenWrt firmware update was a couple of days ago (Version 19.07.4) , and the OpenWrt firmware often resolves issues not dealt with by the original manufacturer.

I will not try to provide simplified instructions. Careful reading of the web-page above and the link to the installation instructions for a related device ( https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr4300#installation ) should be sufficient.

Open source router firmware can be brilliant. As well as OpenWRT, there
is also Tomato, mature, very stable.

AIUI Tomato is slightly more user friendly than OpenWRT.
