Yup, we all are on hardware version 2.
You have slightly outdated firmware, take a look here but if it is working fine now then I seriously don't recommend updating it.

Here is a solution (courtesy of kvsandeepreddy)

reset your router.
connect to using ur default key
first go to wireless-- basic settings-- then change region to india..

then change ur ssid

put mode 11bgn mixed
channel auto
channel width auto

then manually config ur pppoe

disable everything related to usb settings.


I'm not sure but he is using it for 3 hours without any problems.


Try this also ---->

Please try to disable :
"Enable Fullcone NAT:" & "Enable IGMP Proxy:"
under : Network -> WAN Settings -> WAN Service Setup -> Advance option.

^^OK thanks for clarification. So this is the problem with V2 firmware.

Did you guys updated recently or started facing the issue suddenly.

What I mean is, did you guys started facing the problem all of a sudden and you all had V2 from the very beginning or all these started only after upgrading to V2?

Either way, I think you all need to contact TP-Link. Unless they are releasing any firmware upgrade again there's no solution.
 
as previously quoted by little... ppl who r facing the prob try those steps...

dont forget to disable all the usb settings like media, storage, ftp, print.

after following those steps i m free from the prob from the past 4 to 5 hrs now

^^Well, thanks for all the help, I guess everyone who is facing the problem with the model, can have some relief with this trick.

But I suggest all of you facing the problem to post it here => Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Routers

I guess, that would make TP-Link notice about the issue. As soon as they notice they may start debugging and work out. If no of people replies, it'd support the truth of the issue.

1st Nov - I got my modem on 1st, updated it to the latest firmware (130217), configured it and it was online.
2nd Nov - No suspicious activity detected.
3rd Nov - I had to restart the modem once on this day.
4th Nov - I figured out that 192.168.1.1 isnt loading but didnt give much thought to it as it was working after reboot.
5th Nov - FFFFUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuucccccc*** you TP-Link
6th Nov - Today I figured out that something has to be done :p so I am here.

somebody on tp-link forums suggested this:
Go to the management Interface,
Choose "USB Settings---Print Server ---Stop",and then it will be OK

I can't test this myself right now, gonna try it tomorrow...

ok inspite of all tech talks here I found under the PPOE connection in router web interface that the default idle time is just 15 minutes...thats if u keep router idle for 15 mins its gonna stop or hang ....hmm maybe it can be a reason...I changed it to 0 which is unlimited lets see if it still hangs
