@PranayU

The OP in the thread you posted uses Archer C7 v2 which has wireless MAC filtering feature implemented.

Here's how to disable this feature.That't in case of HW versions 1,2 & 3.

If you have Archer C7 v4 then you don't have this feature implemented.

Here''s a post that explains how to mitigate virtual MAC address Parental Control issue for devices connected to RE450.

If you have an Access Control configured on your Archer C7 this could also could cause an issue for devices connected to RE450.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".
