Model: Archer VR300  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.0 0.8.0 v00a2.0 Build 240913 Rel.41017n

I have 3 TP-Link routers in my house, one is modem connected to NBN, other two are configured as wireless Access Points.

The VR300 used to be the modem but it only has 100Mbps ports so I swapped it with my AX10 modem and reconfigured both. (The VR300 doesn't have an Access Point mode so I just disabled DHCP).

 

The AX10 modem has wifi with hidden SSIDs and I can connect to them with my windows 11 computer, the computer also connects to the other access point wifi (an AX23).

However when I connect to the VR300 wifi it says there is no internet.

Yet I can connect with phones and tablets to the same wifi SSIDs and get internet.

 

Windows takes a long time checking network requirements, or sometimes bizarrely it will say internet connected but when I try the web there is no internet.

 

I changed nothing on the computer before this happened.

I tried forgetting the wifi connections and redoing them.

This problem is specific to the VR300 so I'm hesitant to mess up or reset all my network settings in windows.

 

Has anyone seen this problem before?

SOLVED

for anyone else who comes across this:

 

  1. Turned off Windows Defender Firewall.
  2. Tried wifi connection - no internet
  3. Turned on Windows Defender Firewall.
  4. Tried wifi connection - internet!

 

It's been a few days now and still working so I think it fixed it.
