Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

My TP Link AC 1750 ADSL2+ modem seems to have developed a fault whereby the power light is on (and remains on constantly), but every few seconds the wifi light will come on then go off; shortly followed by all of the lights coming on and then going off again. This series of activity repeats every 30 seconds or so. It doesn't look like a power problem, as the power light is on continually.

 

When connecting directly to a laptop I'm getting a similar picture, in that the latpop will briefly recognise an ethernet connection (e.g. laptop connected via ethernet cable to the LAN port on router) but this drops every time the cycle repeats. I'm trying to use the AC1750 as an access point / repeater, hence it is not plugged in to a telephone line.

 

I've tried a factory reset, and th suggested 30|30|30 reset, and am now out of ideas.

 

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Are you still using the original power adapter that came with the router? Try to do hard reset by referring to the guide: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/497/.


You can also check if the TFTP firmware recovery helps or not, here is the guidance:

If none of these helps, please contact the local tech support to check if they have other suggestions, or they will advise on the warranty.

Hi - thanks for your thoughts on this.

 

I've tried a hard reset (to no avail), and - on checking with the TP Link support chat - the conclusion is ... it's broken !

 

Unforunately it is out of warranty, so that's the end of that, and I'm now off to find another router.
