thanks for the screenshot..

anyway i've give up dyndns as they keep blocking me.. i have 2 account and both get blocked. Fed up with it and now switched to others since openwrt support a wide range of DDNS. This is the error from dyndns... seriously they are showing many pattern nowaday.. money-oriented..

That's strange, I still got couples of those 2 free DynDNS since the early free day, even about a year ago when they cut-down to 1 free account which I also registered few, all are still working no problem.

Some of my accounts disabled mostly due to I didn't update the IP for more than 3 months, and that's written clearly by DynDNS.

Also, about a year ago, I noticed Singapore StarHub suddenly cannot update any DynDNS, later switch to SingTel was ok, strange though ....

So just to make sure you update/refresh the IP regularly/automatically, most router/NAS has such function.

running on the default setting on openwrt and it was blocked, saying it get updated too frequently...
lol

i have no issue on stock firmware in tplink and dlink where my customers are still using it...

i also lazy wanna appeal in email back...

i am getting really TIRED!! lol

I'd brought this router with unifi sticker on the box, so setup was quite easy. The only problem is that when ever i bound a specific MAC to IP address, I cant connect to internet, wired or wireless except the single pc that I used to setup the router.  The goal is to set  a fix IP on a certain pc so that I can map drive from others.

I don't really understand the purpose of bind function, but I couldn't find any other way to set fix IP in TL-WR1043ND.
*
are u doing the right thing??

I got 2 units of this model, and having no issue on it.. currently 1 still on stock and 1 on openwrt..


this is where you assigned the IP

DHCP -> Address Reservation > ADD NEW <key in the MAC address and IP>

hope this help

The pc is in the DHCP clients list and working

edit 2
under network > lan note:If the new LAN IP address you set is not in the same subnet with the previous one, the IP Address pool in the DHCP server will be configured automatically,

What is 'previous one', does it refer to DIR 615 setup

Zzzzzzzzzzz

tat is to change ur router IP la..

meaning now ur IP is 192.168.1.1/24 and u change to 10.10.10.1/24 then u r in a different subnet IP..

they ur DHCP with change automatically to 10.10.10.2-10.10.10.254 from 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254

this is basic networking...

But this is fresh setup and I don't change anything other than 'physically' change the router. Currently all my pcs are connected to LAN and given dynamic automatic IP which is 192.168.1.XXX. Why I cant use the same IP no as fix manually assign IP

?? i dont understand what u r trying to say


Added on March 21, 2012, 12:27 amu can use any IP as u wish... i even subnetted my IP to a smaller range

ok.. I rephrase from the beginning

My goal: to set fix IP address for my kids pc
My reason: to set rules (parental monitoring) on this IP and to map my kid's HDD on my pc
My problem: My kids IP keep changing
My solution: reserved the same IP (currently on dynamic mod) to my kids MAC address pc. Otherwise the monitored IP might change to my wife's pc and defeat the idea of monitoring my kid's pc activities

TL-WR1043ND problem:
My step: follow the unifi setup provided by the manual. All pcs are connected to LAN and have access to internet
My question: Upon checking the note under Network LAN help note no.2
This note imply that i have change LAN IP thus the error code 26106 happen. If I make a fresh setup without altering any IP, how can  not in the same subnet and previous one become a problem. What is previous setting that trigger the 'not in the same subnet' error. Are TL-WR1043ND still carry setting from DIR-616 made by TM.
*
ok... first thing first... tplink and TM DIR-615 are two different thing. They totally have no relation and all. Hence TPLINK won't know what setting u have in DLINK. I will explain it more in detail later as I am quite busy with some of my workload at the moment.. smile.gif

ok lets start to solve your problem here...

Firstly you wanna give a fixed IP to your son PC. You can do it by assigning a fix IP to the MAC address from 1043, or just set it on the PC itself. For me I will used the address reservation from 1043, and all my devices will be set to run on DHCP. This can ease my management job. Since you have successfully assigned the IP through Address Reservation, then just continue on the next step.

Next, try to manage and limit how you wan ur 1043 runs as a DHCP server. Exclude all the reserved IP from the DHCP list to avoid IP conflict.

eg: U wanna fix 5 devices IP 192.168.1.11-15, then your DHCP should start from 192.168.1.16 or above.

Hope the above solution clear your doubt...


Now comes to ur 2nd question:
I dont understand the meaning of "follow the unifi setup provided by the manual", sorry to say that I don't even know it has a manual. What I did is very straight forward, and I don't use the "quick setup" but instead i set it up manually using "Network>Wan and select unifi"
and for the "Network -> LAN" help, like i mention before, it's just a precaution to let you know, if you change the LAN IP to others IP subnet, 1043 itself will automatically help u change the range of the dhcp range as well..


possible if you provide some screenshot so that I can have a clear picture on what really happen to ur configuration

the best practise is to select either 1 or 6 or 11

regarding the said issue which i posted few days ago. Just hope my solution work for you guys if you faced the same problem.

firstly I've pulled out the WAN from 1043D and plug it back after 3mins. And the connection of PPPoE was established. But I am still doubting about it and I restarted the fiber modem, then I went to sleep. lol..

till today i haven't get the disconnection issue again, and the link had been up for almost 3days.


seem like it's the WAN connection to the fiber modem is giving the problem as it had not been restarted since last year smile.gif.

well, hopefully it will solve my problem and i will feedback again in the next few days.


hence you guys can just try to plug out and plug back the WAN, or restart the fiber modem, or do both, as I dunno which solve the problem since i did both at the same time.

no need 2hrs the link is down again after revert back to original firmware..

hmmm... seem like it's not the openwrt problem anyway...

now i've narrow down the search..

it might be the tplink itself is having problem or the fiber modem.. gonna change back to dir-615 soon and see the result..

Maybe those who don't have problems with the router are light users?
Mine is on 24/7, max number of clients is 12 or thereabouts. Always get that wifi problem.  A reboot solves it long enough for everyone to do whatever they wanna do before the next reboot.  laugh.gif

that's already a problem lo..

think gonna sell of this and get a better support router.

Just noticed this. I had this problem as well, I thought someone hacked into the router and changed the password. I solved it by doing a hard reset.. had to configure everything all over again.

i think the stock firmware is having this problem regardless which version, as i've tested the stock from the box, tplink site firmware as well as klseet site.

Runs on 2 different units and both also have this problem, that's why i switched over to openwrt.

For all those using the TL-WR1043ND, whether you're facing the problems or not,  perhaps it would be helpful if you could describe the following to help our fellow brothers here to identify their problems. Please provide as much detail as you can.

1. Current Streamyx/Unifi Package?

2. Exact firmware Ver No.? (Please provide direct link to the site if possible, it does not really helped if you just mentioned DD-WRT, OpenWRT etc. you need to provide the exact built number)

3. General usage of internet? (Just surfing? Torrent? Streaming? Gaming? All of the above? 24/7?)

4. Direct connection with cable to the router or Wireless?

5. If Wireless, what's the approximate distance between your PC and the Router? Which model of USB Adapter? PCI-Adapter? In-built adapter?

6. How many users using the router? (Again, please provide how many are those direct connect or wireless and how many of those are facing problems)

7. What kind of disconnection are you talking about? Internet disconnect? Disconnection between BTU and Router? Disconnection between PC and Router?

8. What are the problematic symptoms you're facing? Just disconnection? Slow browsing after a certain time? Bad signal? Etc?

9. This list is not exhaustive so feel free to add anything else you think may help.
*
just to filled up your questionaire..

1. UNIFI VIP5

2. no exact firmware. OK this is the linked of all the Openwrt I've tried and faced the problem:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9bkdf4fnpymong6
http://www.mediafire.com/?6y1g8fach2jjuji
http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.0...-sysupgrade.bin
and for stock firmware i've tested it on: http://www.tp-link.com.my/Resources/softwa..._V1_1100906.zip

3. surfing, torrent (not much but running on NAS 24/7 for uploading), gaming, 24/7

4. Wired

6. All wired, but only 1 PC, sometimes whatapp for my handphone, NAS, Media Player, Astro

7. Internet disconnection, WAN gone missing from openwrt status. Yes Disconnected from BTU to router. Need to uplug and plug back WAN connection cable to reestablish the connection.

8. Just disconnection! Happy with the rest.

9 Do let me know if you need further detail smile.gif

I am using it with my YES Zoom on stock firware, off it during midnight.

I too also thaught someone hacked into my tplink.

Is there anything we can do to solve it?

Thanks

nothing other than manual power off/on the unit.

it's consider a bug. I've even emailed to TPLINK support and they seem like don't even wanna entertain my concern regarding this matter and just closed the case!

Openwrt will solve this problem.

@ckboon, have you tried doing a hard reset and then try to flash with this: http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.0...hfs-factory.bin instead of using the upgrade version?

Is BTU still working properly when you're suffering from all these disconnection? In any case, it doesn't explain why you're unable to access the router webgui after some time. So irregardless of whether you're using OEM firmware or OpenWRT, these same problems will arise but OpenWRT only seem to solve the router webgui issue?

It's weird seeing that you're having issues using a direct connection while there are many users complaining about wifi dropouts when connecting wirelessly. I figure you're attaching the NAS to the usb port of the router? Ever tried running the router without using anything on the USB port?
*
err... I think you get some of the stuff wrong here.. Let me start from the scratch...

there's actually 1 problem arise that made me switch to Openwrt, which is I can't access to my unit URL after a certain period of time which is very inconsistent whereas it can range from 30mins to 3 days(the max i get). For the forum it seem like it's a command problem for tplink firmware (UNIFI ver only?) since they are some members getting the same effect, and I got 2 unit of 1043 which runs on different location too facing this problem. Hence I switch to Openwrt. I've install the stock from blindbox first trunk edition, and it's working like a charm for more than 2 months, and i can access to my unit URL whenever I want even after 1 months or 2 months running it 24/7. Only recently the disconnection from WAN (PPPoE) keep arising. Once it's disconnected, I can't do anything as you can see from my previous post, it shows a (?) sign. I need to pull and re-connected back the WAN to get the link up. It's very annoying when this happen so many times when I was gaming. So the next thing I do is upgrade to backfire. *** I only know that I can upgrade from openwrt firmware to openwrt and not install the full, so i just upgraded it, but I still faced the same problem, and I switch to blindbox latest trunk and still the same.

I got no choice but to revert back my firmware to tplink stock, and just within 2 hrs the connection drop again. But then i rebooted my whole units and the connection is up till now which is 2 days with the same IP without any problem, but I am suspecting a disconnection very very soon smile.gif

my tplink is just pure router switch wireless usage. I don't plug in usb and setup a print server. I got a hw NAS which is configure with transmission and can support Raid0/1 and running on giga speed.


just in-case u cant find the image.. i will just repost it with the log on Openwrt
