Model: Archer C80  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.13.2

Archer C80 configured as Access Point and Dynamic IP address (DHCP with IP reservation at DHCP Server) has unstable WiFi connections. Using fixed IP adddress fixes that but Archer C80 "thinks" there is no Internet access on the Network Map.

Enhancement Request: IP fixed address should allow both "default gateway" and "DNS Server" configuration to avoid this behavior.

Here's an aexample of C80 in AP mode:

 

 

where 192.168.0.1 is tthe LAN IP address of your main router. C80 DHCP server should be disabled.

Make sure you're using C80 WAN (blue) port to connect to your main router LAN port.

  @terziyski - In our LAN the DNS traffic is restricted to our local DNS servers. We do not allow DNS traffic to traverse our firewall, hence the need to allow both IP Gateway and DNS server to be defined when using manual IP configuration.
