I'm having issues with my Macbook and TP Link 3G router, at random times I won't even be able to access the router's home page over wi-fi. Full signal strength show on my status bar. i either have to reboot the laptop or the router. No issues with my iPhone. I have googled the net and seen others have the same issues but haven't found a solution that works for everyone. Both the router and Macbook have the latest software versions. Macbook is running Snow Leopard. Anyone have any ideas or perhaps having the same issues?
 
Can you ping the routers homepage? Check your IP from terminal (ifconfig). Sometimes you get these weird 169 local ips and it still says connected to wifi, but a reconnect usually sorts it out.
 
Having the exact same issues with my MR3420 and MacBook and can't find any solution. It's really frustrating, as my iPhone, Windows 7 laptop and Galaxy Tab all connect 100% at the times when the MacBook is unable to. I've never had this issue with any other wireless connections, incl via my Airlive 3G router, so at least a part of the problem must be with the TP-Link router.

Any insights??
