Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I'd like to configure my dad's Archer C7 to connect his wired LAN printer to the wireless network. From my research this is known as Client Mode, but I haven't seen any indications that the C7 is designed for that. However, I have trouble believing that it couldn't be configured for such a seemingly simple task.

 

Is there a list of settings somewhere that would accomplish this? Or could someone instruct me on how to do this?

 

Thanks.

My apologies for the delayed response.

 

Actually, you can try to configure the C7 as a repeater via WDS function, then plug the printer into one of the LAN ports, this should work.

 

How to configure the WDS on the C7? You may check the below:
