Archer C2 - disabling Nat Boost breaks login

2022-05-26 10:45:57 - last edited 2022-05-30 11:56:31

Model: Archer C2

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 3.0.1 Build 20180423 Rel. 53178

I am trying to enable QoS. In order to do so I am forced to disable Nat Boost. Doing so prevents me from login to the device again...

Console returns 500:

The steps I am taking:
1. setup router
2. go to settings
3. turn off Nat boost
4. reboot device (happens automatically)
5. try to log back
6. on fail, I am force to reset the device again

Internet connection works, but I am not able to log in and enable the QoS :(

Hello @mkbctrl

Thank you for posting on the TP-Link Community.

As per the User Guide for Archer C2 V3, there are no NAT Boost settings on its web GUI. Can you please confirm which option you disabled?

If there is no NAT Boost option on its web GUI, you can enable the QoS directly as follows:

Please be aware that NAT doesn't equal NAT Boost, they are two different features. You can visit this link to understand what is NAT, and this link to know how NAT Boost works.
