Brand new Archer c5400x not working.
I just received yesterday my new Archer c5400x.
Unfortunately after 3 hours of troubleshooting it's still doesn't work.
I am familiar with router setups for years and never saw that before, wondering if the unit is defective.
I get this blinking pattern - white - and then blinking orange, and then it starts the same again.
What I have tried:
- Reset my modem many times.
- Reset my router.
- Try to get access to the router 192.168.0.1
I understand that the router is not communicating with the modem, or vice-versa.
The thing that I don't understand is WHY I can't connect to any of the 8 ports with my laptop. It's like if the ports are all deactivated (I can't even see communicating lights on my laptop RJ45 ports).
Also I don't see it when I scan WIFI.
With my other routers, if I just plug the power and a network cable to any of the ports I can connect to it a manage it, and I can also see it through wifi, but not this ONE!
Is it defective, or stuck in the boot sequence??
thanks for any help, I will wait for your suggestions and if it doesn't work I will return it.
