After a power failure or reboot, D-link continues to work but TP-link Archer C1200 stays hanged.
TP-Link Archer C1200, Led lights ON of router 'Power', '2G' and 'Lan1'.
In mobile phones/laptops, I can see the TP-Link Router Wifi listing but do not connect after selecting wifi.
Connecting a Laptop using Lan2 of TP-Link Archer C1200 also does not work. But when I connect a Lan corresponding light turns on for the router.
Accessing 192.168.1.200 also not show the router login page for Archer C1200. While accessing 192.168.1.1 of the D-link pages also becomes slow, This is solved by Turning off Archer 1200 or unplugging lan of Archer 1200.
After Archer C1200 router reset and configuring like above it works for some time until the next reboot or power failure.
@Kevin_Z I've configured the router to access point using the router dashboard operation mode.
Now the router is in the hanged state. I followed step to get IP address and I see like this.
Ping to the D-link router from the laptop connected to the Archer C1200.
Do you have documentation for using C1200 as main router from another router configured in bridge mode?
