Model: Archer C8  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.0.1 Build 20170421 rel.77278

I don't have Operation Mode on the Archer C8 to change from Router Mode to Access Point Mode.

 

Any ideas?

Hello @SalimTPL, the Archer C8 does not support Access Point as a working mode, while we can try to configure it as an access point as below:

Thanks, but why does it say that it has Working Modes: Router Mode and Access Point Mode under specifications then?

I have already configured it as an Access Point manually, but the problem is that it can't connect to the Internet to update the time and if I set the time manually, it resets back to 2017 on each reboot.

 

How can I fix this issue?
