NOTE: The dropdown model list does not list Archer A7, had to select the A10 to post this.
I've tried two newly purchased AC1750s in the last 2 days. The first one kept dropping the primary connection
to the ISP. The 2nd one connects and stays connected fine, but WIFI clients cannot access the internet. I've
rebooted the router. I've checked the settings, very basic. Even more interesting, I can connect to the wifi w. a
mobile device but the device doesn't show as a client in the tplink router web interface. To ensure I wasn't
connecting to the wrong wifi, I changed the wifi password, told the mobile device to forget the wifi, then I
rediscovered/reconnected with the new password. I MUST fix this by Monday or go back to my original connection
methodology, which means I'll be returning both of these routers. Wired connections work fine.
UPDATE IN CASE SOMEONE ELSE HAS THIS ISSUE: For some reason the clients connecting to the wifi were being given an IP from a different pool. Factory reset the router (push the reset button for 10 sec), then set it up again, clients are now getting IPs from the correct pool, and they now show as connected clients in the TPlink mgmt i/f.
