Not getting internet connection in repeater mode
Not getting internet connection in repeater mode
2021-09-01 15:15:56
Model: TL-WR840N  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I use an Archer C20 as my main router for my home network. i also have a WR850N that runs on repeater mode. If i turn on Mac Filtering on my main router, the 850 connects to the local network but doesn't get internet connection. I've allowed the mac of the 850 on the filtering list of the main router, still the 850 connects to the local network but doesn't connect to the internet. I've reset and redone the whole process a couple of times on both routers but the issue still exists.

@Kevin_Z I'm sorry to report that I've done everything that article guided but it doesnt seem to work. I've allowed both the physical mac address and virtual mac but still no internet connection.

Can we have the screenshots of the MAC filtering settings on the Archer C20? How about the Status page also?

 

Just to be sure, the WR850N is a customized version for the local Internet Providers, so we cannot guarantee anything if it will work with the C20 in repeater mode.

 

BTW, what is the region version and hardware version of the Archer C20, is it EN V5?

@Kevin_Z the hardware version of the C20 is US V5. I've updated the firmware to the latest version.
