Ok, it works!

This is very frustrating, because 3 months ago I bought 2 units of this router,

Can you imagine a router with a price of 200$? but has minimal features and when it gets an update it only brings nonsense 😅

 

 

 

 

sorry my english is not good cuz i am using translate ✌️

Hi, 

I have white list issue in this router.

Firmware already updated

1.1.2 Build 20250210 rel.53421

 

White list active time, Outside whitlist MAC (Device Mob or Laptop) if connected then it should go directly in blact list, But in this device outside device not comes in block list. In other TP-link router it comes under block list, so we can unblock and automatically it will cone under white list. plz solve this issue in costly router Archer AX 73

Hi @Vinod_k,

Thank you for reporting your issue to our community.

Do you mean that the router should have both whitelist and blacklist at the same time? Then, when you select some devices to the whitelist or blacklist, the remaining devices will automatically enter the other list, right?
Currently, our Access control function is mainly set to allow specific devices to access the network, or block specific devices from accessing the network.
If you set a whitelist, devices not in the list will not be able to access the network. If you need to add new devices to access the network, you can also manually add these new devices.

@Joseph-TP How to add new MAC by Tether app, while white list is actvated?

Because if I am going to add new device MAC, I have only one option that is, first add device MAC in block list then unblock the same MAC, after unblocking MAC address should shift in white list. This function is availble in old TP link router, But in new wifi 6 router while you unblock MAC it will deactivate white list and will activate Block list mode.

I have this problem in Archer AX 73 and AX12,

 

White list problem is as it is in wifi 6 router.  Is it possible that if any new device connect to wifi 6 router at white list active time it give ip to that device, so that device can appear directly in Block list.

Dear @Kevin_Z  and @Joseph-TP,

 

do you have any information when the latest firmware 1.1.2 Build 20250210 rel.53421 for Archer AX73 V2 will be released which is intended for EU devices, and not just for devices for the US region?

 

Best regards and thanks!

Hi@zexoni70,

Thanks for your consulting.

Since I am not in software development, I cannot provide a definite answer. Sorry that we don't get advanced notice of when the update will be available for Archer AX73(EU)_V2, We recommend keeping an eye on our official website for any new firmware updates if there would be any. And you can also enable 'Auto update' button on the firmware update page.

Hi@Vinod_k,

Please make sure you are tagging a TP-Link Admin (my account) if you want a timely response. Unless we are tagged we do not see that new responses have been added. We do not subscribe to every thread, so rely on Tagging to ensure responses.  

I'm not sure if you misunderstood the steps for adding whitelist. I'll take the Archer AX73 simulator as an example: if you need to add a device to access the network, then select the device manually or in the device list.
The steps are as follows:

Dear @Kevin_Z  and @Joseph-TP, The process what you shown that is from web. ( 192.168.1.1) ,

I am simply asking about MAC address adding Teather app. (TP- Link Android Teather app).

By teather app mac address adding not possible while white list is active.

Latest TP-Link Wifi 6 router firmware has some issue.

Old TP Link router has good firmware and good function like I am using Archer C1200 and Archer VR 400. 

Archer AX73  firmware operation are not good.
