DG834 = very old router. It may simply be coming to the end of its usable life.
PS - are you still on ADSL2plus broadband? Or have you put the DG834 into bridged mode?0 -
I think we've just thrown a few old ADSL2+ routers into the bin after a loft clearout ... one of them was probably a DG834GT.0

It might be old but i know a few still knocking about working fine for people. It was and still is a great little router, if you dont want anything fancy

Well right on queue, wifi been fine since yesterday. Within 2 minutes of a Facetime call it goes down. Im certain now that is the cause for some reason. Told my sister to use Whatsapp video for abit see if that sorts it.No idea how thats possible but too many coincidences0

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2542039?page=4Is there an equivalent setting in the DG834? (It's been several years since I looked at one). Although this means you may need to manually assign LAN IP addresses for each device wishing to connect? What happens if you give your sister's device a permanent (sticky) IP address?
To avoid this issue go to TP-LINK router admin web-interface, than choose 'NAT' and switch 'Current Hardware NAT Status' from 'Enable' to 'Disable'. Restart router afterwards.
The fact that the WiFi locks up suggests that a routing table or similar is getting filled up.0
