Didn't know where else to post this.

The other day my partner installed Gargoyle on our TP-Link Wireless-N router as we've been having trouble with internet inexplicably cutting out over WiFi every so often using TP-Link's firmware.

After doing so, we noticed my iPad couldn't connect and kept giving itself a self-assigned IP address. After some messing around on the iPad and in the router's DHCP settings I then tried to have my MacBook Pro (running 10.8) connect using DHCP (I usually have it set to a static IP), only to find it was having the same problem and kept giving itself a self-assigned IP address.

This was very odd as my partner's Nexus 7 and Ubuntu desktop (connected through ethernet) were both able to connect and were properly assigned DHCP IP addresses.

Our Apple TV (connected via ethernet) was also having the same problem as the MacBook Pro and iPad.

The problem only seems to be affecting our Apple devices, which is very puzzling.

Does anyone have any suggestions or helpful information?

Thanks,
Brenden
