Model: Archer AX53  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

Topology:

  • Archer C6 v4 as the controller (FW: 1.14.0 Build 240617 Rel.39521n(4555)).
  • Archer AX23 (FW: 1.0.4 Build 20240306 rel.66339) and Archer AX53 v2 (FW: 1.1.0 Build 20230725 Rel. 56344) as nodes.
  • All connected via a TP-Link switch using Ethernet backhaul.

 

Summary:

  • When I disable Wi-Fi on the router (Archer C6 v4) and enable it again, the Archer AX23 node resumes broadcasting as expected, but the Archer AX53 remains off.
  • There is no SSID or signal, and the Wi-Fi LEDs stay off (see photo).
  • Only resetting the AX53 restores Wi-Fi.

 

Steps to reproduce:

 

  1. Set up EasyMesh with the Archer C6 v4 as the controller and the AX53 and AX23 as the nodes.
  2. Turn off Wi-Fi on the C6 v4.
  3. Turn Wi-Fi back on.
  4. The AX23 resumes Wi-Fi, but the AX53 does not. The LEDs stay off (see attached photo below) and there is no signal.
  5. Resetting the AX53 restores the Wi-Fi connection. The issue repeats every time.

 

Expected:

  • The AX53 should restore Wi-Fi in the same way as the AX23.

 

Actual:

  • The AX53 Wi-Fi remains off until it is reset.

 

 

These LEDs remain off until the reset:

 

I disabled, then enabled the WiFi here:

Hello@Feriman ,

Welcome to our community.

 

May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:

Archer C64—switch—Archer AX53+Archer AX23 )))((( client devices

(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

Please update the Archer AX53 to the latest version 1.0.4 Build 20240306.

 

Can you temporarily remove the C64 and test the Archer AX53's WiFi broadcasting function alone,  to see if it's still abnormal and whether a hard reset is still required?

In addition, what is the model of your switch?

 

Best Regards.

Thank you for your reply!

 

Yes, you're correct, this is my network topology in nutshell.

 

My switch is TP-Link TL-SG1008P

 

I swapped the FW versions with the AX23, the AX53 actually has the latest one (which you linked to).

 

You mean I should reproduce the error again, and when it occurs (when the AX53 does not broadcast WiFi), I should remove the C6 router, which is the EasyMesh coordinator, from the network (turn it off)?

 

Thanks!
