I am experiencing a very strange issue my router.
From my PC I see the router and login to it. I can see and change all the settings. Yet I have no internet connection.
Here comes the strange part.
If I call my ISP they can see the router from their end.

So somewhere inside the router the input and the output are not connecting.
For now I plugged my ISP feed direct into my PC. Everything works fine except I do not have WIFI for my cameras.
I'm thinking I should just go and buy a new router.

I would try a hard reset before buying a new router

I forgot to mention I tried that. Used a paper clip to push the master reset button.

It's a 2.4 GHz. No 5 GHz. It's pretty old. It may not offer updates.
5 GHz will give you access to newer bandwidth (less radio crowded). There are even newer bandwidths.

Direct wired to a modem or a router with ports plugged into a current generation modem is very fast. If fast wi-fi is important, upgrade. The modem and router work together. Upgrading both should be considered. Fast wi-fi is dependent on the pairing of these two and the speeds your IP provides.

Have you tried rebooting both the modem and router? Unplug both and restart the modem first.

The ISP hardware is an antenna on the roof. It apparently has a small router built in. that is why I am able to use the internet without the tp-link. I will check my local computer shop for a new unit soon.
