Calling on all TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 router users!

[renfred89]

My laptop is a IBM X240. Shouldn't be a problem. In any case, it is the same on my wife's laptop.

find out the wifi spec of your clients first. no point saying your wife's is the same as yours cos both could have similar wifi specs.

Hmm. the setting is on ac/n mixed and I am seated in the same room (living room) with the router. How to check?

The X240 comes with either Wireless-N 7260 or Wireless-AC 7260. Could very well be that you got the N model.

I am considering getting a c7 v2, replacing my dir 868l from StarHub... that trash can has been giving problems in connection as it keeps dropping.

Is it worth getting a c7 v2 ?

It would be more reliable for sure, mine can stay up for months without restarting. But speed and range wise I don't think you'll see much of a difference.

Fyi a security researcher just found a whole bunch of unpatched security bugs in the 850L related to MyDlink Cloud. Who knows if it affects their entire family of Cloud routers too..

@pokey2014,
try to disable the "NAT boost" as what this forummer did:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/110233616-post16.html

btw, your archer c7 is not on the newest firmware.
newest is dated 2017-06-09

 

[Ah-Pin-Kor]

Do I disable all this ?

no. Not this.
I dont have archer c7 so im using the online firmware emulator. For v4 i cant find the setting to disable nat acceleration. Only found it for v2. For v4 only thing i can see to try is the unicast dhcp checkbox under internet setting. Maybe try that see if it helps.

 

[pokey2014]

This is the worst, never had an issue on router ... till this

no. Not this.

Do I need to call StarHub to activate ont so that I can use my own router ?

if you were using the dlink 868 then you should already be on direct ont.

 

[pokey2014]

Yes figured that out too, no idea what's up with it...

Totally no lights when I plug in to port 1 on the nucleus connect

1) cable is plugged in to port 1 and connected to c7 Ethernet port (blue)

No lights but you still can access the web ui? I think your set might be faulty.

did you try the unicast dhcp setting?

 

[pokey2014]

Thanks all, manage to fix it due to nat boost issues

If it's v2 then gg liao
I emailed their support abt it cos I have one set now

There isn't detailed changelog, and the difference between the two versions is that v2 adds TP-Link cloud feature, other features are the same. However, currently there is only v2 sold in Korea, If you bought it in Singapore, I am afraid it isn't official product.
In addition, We don't know Korean either, so there would be some problem for technical support and warranty, that is why I recommend you to return it and buy a new one from official store.

Your understanding would be highly appreciated!

Worst case use google chrome Translate for the advance options. If not, you try to download the tp link tether apk from play store for simple configuration.
