did u try disabling all the usb settings...???I will update in morning if it got hanged after whole night
working for me flawlessly
There is a bug in the latest firmware for v2 that prevents changing the default time (15 mins) to anything else. Atleast I can't change it to anything else. It keeps on resetting to 15 mins.
And the modem should not hang after 15 minute. In PPPoE mode, the modem automatically logs in using your BB username & PW. That time states that after how much time of complete inactivity the modem will log out or disconnect from the internet without disconnecting from the link (DSL)
I will update in morning if it got hanged after whole night
Keep us posted.
that link directed me to my modem page
It wasn't your modem page. Look closely in the address bar.
*www.tp-link.in/resources/simulator/W8968_v1/index.htm
Its an online simulator of the modem interface of W8968 v1 running on firmware 120926.
Hah.. So I'm not alone.
Have the 8968 v2 and it starting disconnecting on the evening of the 5th.... Its something with the DHCP.
My net is working fine now that I've assigned static ips to my computer, phone, laptop and tablet.. but it's very annoying.
I can't access 192.168.1.1 either..
Have to restart the modem and I can access it for a couple of minutes before it becomes inaccessible.
Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed.
Weird how it all started on the same day for everyone

Now I'm more interested in knowing this mystery than knowing the solution to this problem.

So disabling the DHCP allows you to connect your devices to the modem even after it hangs??
I was thinking the same but didn't try it. But the thing is that disabling DHCP is a partial solution.

Yes I disabled all the USB things as u told earlier but that didnt solve the problem and still the router stopped working.
But incresing that 15 min to 0 solved my problem ....today morning I got modem working after 6 hrs and wifi also is working fine...I connected my mobile and it connected normally ...lets see if any other issue comes up

It'll keep resetting to 15 because you probably have "Always On" selectedI've disabled all USB functions, but I can't set idle time to 0, it just keep resetting to 15...
let's see...
If you select "connect manually" then you can change the idle time to whatever you want.
it looks like disabling the USB functions is enough, the router is working perfectly from past 2 hours...
the router page is opening and my phone and tablet are easily connecting to wifi again, I tried it multiple times and its working as it should. hope it stays this way...

Gr8... Then my method worked for 1 atleast
yeah man, been up for 5 hours now and its working smoothly. However, its just a temporary solution as it will be problematic for someone, who want the USB functions. I never used the USB, so I'm okay with that. But tp-link really needs to work on this mess, asap...Gr8... Then my method worked for 1 atleast

Atleast we are saved from the process of replacing the router... Hopefully it will be solved by a firmware update

Ya i ve seen the same some tym ago and i ve posted abt the usb settings.. But my post is under moderation
Heh.. who is blr_p? and why is he copy-pasting from here?
Anyway.. disabling the USB setting for print server has done the trick for me. Don't need static ip any more.. and the router page is working fine too since morning..
Thanks a lot for the fix.. TP link will fix it with a firmware update soon.. but still weird how it all started on the same date..
