Hi,

I have 3 devices wired to this router. 2 of them are showing as expected as "wired" but one shows as "wireless" (connection type).

These wired showing "wired" are a printer and another router (ASUS RT-AC68U).

This wired showing "wireless" is also a router (ASUS RT-N66U).

What is wrong here - why is this showing "wireless"?

Thanks for any insights as I have never seen something this fundamentally wrong.

This Archer is supplied by TPG in Australia as part of their NBN setup.

(don't tell me I have too many routers)

@nashi

Good day.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

Sorry for the delay.

Archer VR1600v has already been added on the list;

As for the online devices, have you tried to connect the ASUS RT-N66U to a different Ethernet port or switch with other wired devices to see if it is always been detected as a wireless device?

Thank you very much.
