@Ivaylo 

Sorry for late response but I had to leave this case for a while to take on other responsibilities.

Here's current status:

  1. Updated DHCP range to 192.168.0.4 - 192.168.0.249
  2. I've performed factory reset on AX1500.
  3. Updated firmware to the latest one on AX1500.
  4. Setup the AX1500 as AP like in the post you've linked (this configuration didn't work either).
  5. Switched mode to AP on AX1500 and configured it as previosly (still no connection to Internet).

 

One thing I've noticed is that while I was connected to the AX1500 via cable, the name of the network was actually the name of WiFi which is broadcasted by the second (properly working) router configured as AP on 192.168.0.2. Does this mean something? Can those 2 interfere with each other somehow?

Here is how I configured my both, ethernet and WiFi cards on my laptop to static IPs:
Ethernet:

WiFi:


The language of my system is Polish but I doubt you won't know which field in the form is responsible for what.

I am OK with these screenshots, but it is interesting for me to see them, when you have set the IP address to be obtained automatically (by DHCP, when the PC connected to to the AX1500).

OKAY...

So I've disconnected the second router functioning as the AP and the AX1500 got access to the Internet! FINALLY!

I've reconnected the second AP, and now, this one doesn't have access to the Internet.

So the cause is that I have 2 routers functioning as Access Points and for some reason this doesn't seem to be working for me.

Any ideas on how to setup those 2 so I can enjoy the Internet on both of them?

Well, that's a progress...Lets have a look at the TL-WR1043N/ND settings then. How you have configured that one as AP. Can you post WAN / LAN / DHCP settings screenshots  ? Which ports are you using on TL-WR1043N/ND to connect to the main router ? I assume you are using the second scenario which I suggested earlier for AX1500. Is it with the latest FW ?

@Ivaylo 

I've resolved the issue by connecting my old router functioning as AP to the new Archer AX1500 LAN port.
After that, I have access to the Internet on both of them.
Now only the new Archer AX1500 router in AP mode is connected to the main router.
 

I've also adjusted both Acess Points WiFi settings (channel and width) and turned of the main router WLAN for maximum WiFi network performance.
I can finally enjoy the Internet on both of them.

 

That was harder than expected to make all of this up and runing.

So if anyone stumples upon same issue, I hope this thread will help them.

@Ivaylo thanks a lot for trying to help me!
