Are these routers simply garbage?
Hi all.
Suddenly all Internet access in my home ceased working. I did the usual routine of rebooting the cable modem and router.
Minutes later, no Internet over Wi-Fi. And again. And again. And again.
The highly touted Archer C7 is now in the garbage. I then pulled out my previous router, the TP-Link TL-WR841N and hooked it up.
Later in the evening, we had no Wi-Fi Internet. The router started prompting for a password and then claiming that the well-known password was incorrect, or Apple devices would simply return the asinine "could not join" error with no explanation.
Even my main computer, which is hard-wired into the router, couldn't pull up the admin page. I rebooted everything, found a firmware update available, and installed it on the router.
This morning: no Internet over Wi-Fi, although the hard-wired computer still had Internet. Toggling the power on the router results in five or 10 minutes of access, then nothing.
WTF?
