I have a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND and I decided to put DD-WRT a while back now and everything was working fine. But the past couple of months we have been noticing that the wireless loves to drop out every now and again and it's getting quite annoying.

I'm not sure what information you need of the config and all that sort. So if you could just say and I'll be able to provide you with it all.

Same happend here.
During moderate load wifi, connection remain 'online' but no transfert occurs more.

During this time all others computer wired to the router work and surf without problem. Only wireless client has blocked. In the while the ping to wifi client very increase (from 2ms to 2sec) and there isn't more internet access.

I've got the same problem with the same device. I've upgraded to the latest DD-WRT version (02-11-2013-r20675). The connection suddenly drops with moderate load.

You can notice it immediately on your mobile devices, they suddenly switch to 3G out of the blue. When you go to settings and tap on the Wireless network it reconnects without any problems and works again. But it drops the wireless connections a lot, way too much.

Is there already an issue ticket available to fix this? I experience this as a serious bug.

I get the same. Worked great for a while. Now I've had to train everyone in the house to go to my wired machine and fix.

What I do is chage the wireless properties from Mixed to N/G and back again then it goes. I think anything that resets the wireless works but getting more and more frustrating.

You would probably do good to upgrade to a newer build.

Does anyone know of this issue is known by development and will be fixed? OR is already fixed in a nightly build?

I've done another 30/30/30 reset, but this didn't solve the problem with build 20675. This is the graph of only 1 device connected, my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.1). The connection is constantly dropping and being picked back up, but eventually the device can't pick it up again automatically.

So the only way for you is restart the wifi connection?

More like manually reconnect on the device. I select on the wireless network name in settings and the iPhone reconnects at that moment. Sometimes it manages to reconnect automatically, but most of the time I have to go to settings and select the wireless network again and again and again. Very annoying bug.

I made the following mod:

Maybe there is a bug with one of this settings..
