Model: Archer AX72 Pro

I hooked up the AX72 pro to the modem and can't access the internet. Called the ISP and they flushed the modem. Put my old router back in and I can connect to internet. What is wrong?

Did you copy all WAN (Internet) port settings from your old router to the WAN (internet) port settings of the AX72 Pro ?

Hi, Thanks for posting question on our community.

 

If no network access with your router, you may try the following troubleshooting.

Orange/Red Internet light on the router:

    1. Unplug your router from the modem, connect your PC directly into the modem to verify the Internet status of your ISP.

    2. Reboot the ISP Modem and the Router, you must firstly power on the Router, once the router's fully powered on, power on the modem.

    3. Login to the web UI via http://tplinkwifi.net and set it up following the Quick Setup.

    4. If your PC has Internet when connected to the modem, but the Router still doesn't, please go to Advanced > Network > Internet > Mac Clone to clone the mac address of your PC. This FAQ contains detailed instructions of Mac Clone: How do I configure MAC Address Clone on my TP-Link Archer Router?

Green Internet light on the router:

    1. Login to the web management interface of the router (http://tplinkwifi.net), go to Advanced > Network > Internet > Advanced Settings > Change the DNS Servers into 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8.

    2. Reboot the ISP Modem and the Router, you must firstly power on the Router, once the router's fully powered on, power on the modem.
