TP-Link Archer-A20 AC4000 Printers & IP Cameras Problem
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I recently purchased an ac4000 and I am having problems with multiple devices. It does not recognize my ethernet printers or my IP cameras. I connected a Netgear managed gigabit switch (GS-308e-after turning off DHCP on the switch) to one of the LAN ports and the switch recognizes the existance of all these devices but not the TP-Link Router. I can see that the switch itself has been leased an IP address and I can run the managed switch web management interface.
Before this I had installed the TP-Link USB printer controller, but this does not detect one of my printers when connected to the USB port on the router (it does state that there are compatibility requirements that I suppose I don't meet). I am surprised that a Brother laser printer would have all of these connection issues.
The question I have is that is there any way to fix this? I have the latest hardware (I think), the firmware is up to date, but the router does not support my existing equipment. The logs for the Router do not show any real detail, so it it's not possible for me to determine where things are going wrong. Is there any solution other than buying a different WIFI router altogether ? That is a cheaper solution than upgrading my printers and camera system. Before this Router I had an ASUS that worked with all of my equipment without any problems.
