Is My Router Dying?

[MadCat]

Morning, is my router dying?

Purchased a TP-Link TD-W8960N however as of last night I have a weird problem. My WiFi devices at random could not connect. I factory reset the router and reconnected my devices however I found they would only connect 1 for 1 after changing the Wifi Channel between 1 and 13. Am I doing something wrong? Its been working fine for months. The router is also only about 2-3 months old.

Ive got the same , also TP link. First few months no hassles at all. All of a sudden , laptops connected no problem , but mobile devices ( ipad and Samsung phone ) didn't , had to go to static connection and assign IP address manually. Since a few days ago , laptops still connecting but mobile devices don't want to at all. When I called the fibre company initially ( its their router) they said its all working on their side and since laptops connect its not the router.

Im away this week , but when Im back will try to find another router to test. Im also convinced its the TP link router that's somehow faulty.

PS also , since this started I cant connect my Sonoff switches
