Wireless Stops Working!

I have 3-4 devices connected via wireless to the AP at all times, however, about twice a day, the wireless part of the router stops functioning. All my connections drop, and DHCP no longer functions. I have to power cycle the router to get anything to work. Why is this happening? What good is a wireless router whose wireless functionality is so flakey?

I have the same wireless router and I haven't had a single issue with it. I believe yours is probably defective. If it's under warranty you can get a replacement from TP-Link. Here is the customer service number for returns: 1-866-225-8139.
