Archer A7 - Print server not working

2021-08-11 19:01:00 - last edited 2021-08-12 09:45:05

Model: Archer A7

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version: Archer A7(EU)_V5_210125

I bought Archer A7 because it was supposed to have a print server. My device came with the latest firmware. But it doesn't connect to the printer and my printer is not showing up in the list. Came to know that in the latest firmware the print server feature is removed. will this feature be added in the upcoming firmware?

Also need information about the downgrade process to get back the print server functionality and the firmware that supports the print server functionality.

Do I need to rename the firmware file while uploading it to the Tplink firmware updater?

Will the print server function be available in the upcoming firmware.

@Galwin

The Printer Server feature will no longer be supported in the newer versions.

If you want to have it worked on the Archer A7, please refer to the suggestions to downgrade to the previous version:
