Archer C7 v2: Username/Passwort ist not working after upgrade and restore
2017-02-20 01:25:36
Model :

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Today I have installed a new fimware on my Archer C2 v2.
  1. I backuped the current  configuration on my PC, because I changed the configuration a lot.
  2. I installed the new firmware with the upgrade functionality
  3. After restarting the router I logged in with admin/admin. Everything seemed to be working
  4. Then I restored the backup from 1. The router restartet and all settings seemed to be correct (new network addresses etc.)
  5. But then I could not login. The used username/passwort combination did not work nor the admin/admin combination.
  6. So the only solution was the reset to factory defaults, login using admin/admin and then configure evrything manually
So why does the config file not work regarding the username/password?

Excellent question, same problem. Though now i'd sad to see it's a known issue that is being ignored :(

Locked out of C7 after firmware upgrade

Same problem and I notice others had it years ago with another one of their routers. I had to upgrade b/c the router was so buggy and now this. What a mistake to buy this product.

May I know your current firmware version?
And could you please send the configuration file and will have a check on my side.

Thank you. The name of the firmware update file I used is: ArcherC7v2_en_us_3_15_1_up_boot(160719). I'm hesitant to post the configuration file here in this forum - is there some detail I can check for?
