Region : France

Model : Archer C7

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I would like to use the Archer C7 as an access point only without NAT.

When i desactivate the NAT and when I connect an wireless equipment, it's break the network.
It's not possible anymore to access to the Archer (Lan is unreachable and can't connect to the wifi anymore).
So I need to restart the access point.

DHCP server is disabled (use of the router DHCP)
Firmware is 3.14.1 Build 141110 Rel.44276n
Hardware is Archer C7 v2/v3 00000000


Is it possible to use the Archer C7 without NAT like a simple access point ?

Thanks.

It can work as an access point indeed. Are you connecting the router to LAN port of C7?
Did you modidy LAN IP or C7 to be in the same subnet as your main router?
Anyway, follow this guide to check your configuration. http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417

Yes, i have Check all but it Work only if nat is disabled.
Each Time I disable nat, it's break the network and the router become unavailable on first wifi connection ( need to restart the router).
So, i have correct this by installing dd-wrt on it. Now it work well.
I have past lot if Time on it, I think that it's a bug.
Thanks.
