Archer C7 behaviour when no internet
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I use the Archer as a router and the internet comes into it from a plusnet Hub One ADSL modem. When I want to connect to the Hub One therefore, say, to reboot it, it goes through the Archer C7. This works fine if the internet is connected but if there happens to be an interruption in the internet connection the Archer C7 won't connect to the Hub One and just displays a tp-link status page saying there is no internet. The Hub One is still on and working, the problem being external, at the ISP.
Is there something I can change in the settings for the Archer C7 so that it will always connect to the Hub One, even if the internet is down? I have looked around in the menus but not found anything yet.
Grateful for advice.

Unfortunately setting a static ip address for my internet modem didn't work. When my connection went down yesterday I was unable to connect to the internet router, although it was clearly switched on and working.
The exact text from the Archer C7 was:
"Wan connection error! Unable to connect to the internet. Please contact your service provider or try again later."
This was followed by a link to "Set up and internet connection"
Can you suggest anything else?
