Model: Archer C80  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.13.15 Build 240812 Rel.53972n(5553)

Here's my setup:

 

- My house has two floors, on which I have a wireless router as an AP for each floor.

- There are IoT devices that MUST connect to their floor's AP so they have a good, continuously working WiFi signal.

- I've recently acquired an Archer c80 v2 to replace an old TL-1043ND v1 I had working as one of the APs.

 

Problem: I wanted to replace the other one as well, but I've hit a roadblock with the Archer C80 v2: it doesn't have an essential feature for my setup to work correctly: Access Control Whitelist on AP mode.

 

I use access controls on my WiFi network so only the devices I own and know are safe, can connect to my network, specially limiting which AP my IoT devices connect to, so they don't connect to the other floor's, greatly degrading their WiFi connection. This is a basic feature every router should have, even on AP mode.

 

Since there's no alternate, third party firmware compatible with this model and HW version that could enable such basic feature, I'm restricted to the official one.

 

Please add Access Control whitelisting and Easymesh to AP mode on the v2 Archer C80.
