Firware Version: 1.0.9 Build 20200708 rel.55037(5553) --- Showing this is the latest
Hardware Version: Archer AX50 v1.0 (Though the dropdown was showing up to v7 and bought it brand new last week so surprised hardware is so low)
Background: Our internet is provided through ATT U-Verse since we have VoiP / TV / Internet package. I have a cable that runs from the ATT U-Verse box (more information on the box below) that runs to the internet slot of the AX50. From there I currently only have 1 wired connection going out (want to migrate the other 3 from u-verse box to here at some point) and have Wi-Fi enabled on the AX50 and disabled on the ATT U-Verse box. In order to get the internet to feed correctly to the computer that is hooked up to the AX50 I had to put it in Access Point mode rather than Router otherwise only Wi-Fi worked.
ATT U-Verse Box Info:
| Manufacturer: | ARRIS |
| Model Number: | BGW210-700 |
| Software Version: | 2.8.7 |
| Datapump Version: | A2pvbJ042x2.d27c |
| Hardware Version: | 02001C0046004D |
| WiFi Status: | OFF |
| Guest WiFi: | OFF |
I have all the wireless devices connected to the AX50 router and they all show and work with active connection. The problem is if I go to the router's webpage (tp-link's) it shows only 2 wired clients (Connection to U-Verse box + My Computer) and only 3 wireless clients, however there are currently at leasy 6 clients on the wireless (if I look at the ATT Uverse page since it shows their Wi-Fi status there for some reason; including the ones that AX50 shows). I know I have more devices connected since it is showing some of our iPad's/laptops offline, but I can use internet on them without issues. The list will also sometimes go from showing 4 clients to 3 and sometimes down to 2, but then slowly readds 1 or 2 over time. The devices that drop off the list still have an internet connection.
For some reason I can't get the TP-Link to show the status of all devices being connected. One of the main reasons is I was going to rename each device so I can tell more accurately what each one is rather than some of the random/similar names some have. Also, none of the devices on the other machine have a fixed allocation and are allocated by the DHCP server.
I'm not sure what I'm missing and I've tried googling and can't find any issue that is similar when searching. Instead I've seen other posts with unrelated issues pop up.
