Web interface access - Archer C7 - IPv6 issue?
Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I just bought an Archer C7, which I've set up as an AP. This works fine - devices can connect to it and access the internet through my ISP-provided fibre modem / router. I've done all the usual stuff - disabled DHCP on the C7, assigned it a static IP in my ISP-router's domain and outside of its DHCP range, and connected it to the network via the LAN1 port. I initially changed the C7's settings using a wireless connection to it from a tablet.
The only thing that doesn't work is that I cannot access the C7's web interface on any device. The C7 shows up on the web interface for the ISP router with the assigned IP address (192.168.178.204) which is outside the DHCP range for that router (20-200). However, I cannot access the web interface using this IP address. The ISP router also gives an IPv6 address for the C7 (fe80::62e3:27ff:feaf:b302) but I'm not sure if the web interface can be accessed through this? Both the ISP router and the C7 are configured to allow IPv6 addresses.
I have another AP on the network (at 192.168.178.201) which works fine and I can access its interface via this IP address. It does not support IPv6, however. I've had several other APs on the network in the past, all of which have been IPv4 only, and all of which have worked as expected.
One other point that may be relevant is that I have a NetGear switch between the ISP-router and everything else. This isn't set up to do anything clever - it just connects one of the two LAN ports on the ISP router to 24 (I think) network sockets around my house. The C7 is plugged into one of these. The other LAN port on the ISP router is not connected to anything.
Any help / ideas appreciated.
Cheers, Ian
