[SOLVED] TP-LINK TL-WN822N v2 locking up

Mercury305 · 01-22-2013, 04:06 PM

I have a great wireless lan (usb) I purchased a few months back. So it works automatically with Fedora 17 and 18. However, it does often get locked up when bandwitch is used too heavily during torrent downloads etc. So I have to plug in and out to get it working again.

Any way to stop this happening. I checked out the details in

Code:

lsmod |grep ath9k

and what i get in return:

Code:

ath9k_htc              65777  0 
ath9k_common           13649  1 ath9k_htc
ath9k_hw              399416  2 ath9k_common,ath9k_htc
ath                    23143  3 ath9k_common,ath9k_htc,ath9k_hw
mac80211              540054  1 ath9k_htc
cfg80211              201717  3 ath,mac80211,ath9k_htc

Code:

lsusb

gives:

Code:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID xxx:xxx Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287]

It uses dual atheros cards listed above.

0) bandwidth shaping in the router if possible,
1) watching syslog for errors,
2) selectively measuring (network) resource usage using any SAR like Atop, Dstat or Collectl,
3) debugging the ath9k,
4) bandwidth shaping on your machine,
5) lowering clients and connection settings in your BitTorrent client?
