Hi!

I recently move from one place to another but no matter what I do: I can't get my Archer C7 working at my new place.

When I plug it in, only the power LOD comes on as a static light.

Wifi doesn't start at all, no matter, which direction the Wifi slider at the back is set.

Pressing the factory reset button for more than 10 seconds doesn't have any impact at all. The power LED stays static, the Wifi LED won't come on.

LAN LEDs turn on for the applicable plug when I try to connect my PC to the router via ethernet cable.

I cannot however, access the router's web interface to see what's going on. It's almost as if the router is not connected to the PC. Windows 10 detects a LAN connection but is unable to get an IP address from the DHCP server (instead it assigns an ominous 169.254* autoconfiguration IP address and shows no gateway when looking up details with IPConfig.

When trying to use Windows 10's troubleshooting, I'm getting a "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration" as a result.

I tried the same on 3 different PCs (also rebooted them).

Any ideas or shall I accept the fact that the hardware itself seem to be broken? (which is odd with the main LEDs still working).

Thank you!
