I would check the version number of your router and try to update the firmware. TP-Link Firmware Download

When you dont have access could you post your IPconfig /all use option 2.

Indeed the firmware version wasn't up to date, I have updated it and I will check to see if the problem persists in the following days. If I haven't posted anything in a few days it means that the problem is gone thx

Good Luck I hope everything works out.

Yep, it worked!
While updating the firmware I noticed that the problematic computer was configured both for DHCP static IP allocation and for MAC binding. That might have been the cause as well.

thanks for the help,
Michael
