Access Point Woes
Access Point Woes
My set up is as follows. I have an ISP modem downstairs providing wireless and wired connections. Upstairs I have C7 router ion access point mode which is used for wireless and wired connections. I can access any device on the whole network by using either the C7 or ISP Modem.
Recently I wanted to upgrade the C7 as we have some devices now that can use WiFi 6. I have tried the AX55 and the AXE75 but both do not function as the C7 did in access point mode. The issue is that I have a NAS connected to the C7 which provides Films stc to the TV wired to the ISP device. With the AX55 and AXE75 the NAS is not visable to any of the devices connected to the ISP modem. I can only see the NAS and any devices connected to the the AX55 and AXE75 devices if I connect to the AX55/AXE75 WiFi.
I have retuned both these devices. Is there something different with the way AP mode works on the C7 to latwer devices?

Hi @John1967,
Didn't you mention that you've returned both the Archer AX55 and Archer AXE75 to the store?
Normally, if you change router to access point mode, whether you connect to the main router's SSID or the satellite router's SSID, you can access client devices in the same domain. Just like the Archer C7 you mentioned.
If you haven't returned the new routers to the store, you can email support.forum@tp-link.com, attaching [Forum ID 732494] as title, which may follow up your case more efficiently.
