Model: Archer A6  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.0.14 Build 20211118 rel.43110(5553)

I'm current having connection issues on my HP GT5820 printer. It seems the SPI firewall is blocking the connection. When this option is enabled, the printer can be setup with no issues, but after a while (seems to happen when my laptop is turned off for a few hours), the printer will become grayed out and unusable, you need to reconfigure it again to make it available. When the SPI firewall is turned off, the printer still offline but can be reconnected by turning the laptop wifi off then on. This started when I upgraded to the latest firmware which is 1.0.14 Build 20211118 rel.43110(5553). I have found out that this also happen to AX11000 routers. I hope this will be fixed in the next firmware update,

I found a way to enable SPI with the current printer connections issues. I just added the MAC address of the printer in the Access Control whitelist. The only thing is that I still need to reconnect the printer by toggling off/on the laptop wifi everytime the printer shows offline in the connected devices.

 

Edit: the workaround toggling the wifi off/on works for windows 11. For Windows 10, just adding the printer MAC address in the Access Control whitelist solves the issue.no need for wifi toggling.
