Model: Archer C54  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.3.10 Build 20240130 Rel. 77367(5553)

Device: AX1450 Wi-Fi 6 Router

Purchased: Yesterday

 

Issue: No internet connectivity when in router mode. (Constant orange light)

 

I'm upgrading from an Archer C54 which was easy to set up.

 

For the Archer AX1450, I tried to go through the same setup process which was to connect the modem to the WAN port and connect the LAN to my desktop.

I logged in with the ADMIN password and went through the setup. When it got to the end, it would not connect to the internet at all.

 

I tried backing out, reseating the ethernet cords, using a different cord, and resetting the config to default. Same issue. I went back into the settings and switched the router's Operation mode to Access point mode and connected it to the Archer C54 and it started working.

 

I was able to get the firmware updated to the latest version and I tried again. Same issue. The port can't be burnt seeing as it works in a different mode.

 

I'm not sure if I should just return this or not.

 

Does anyone have any pointers on what I should do?

Does your modem have a bridge mode. If it is not in bridge mode, the router needs to be AP, if in bridge mode then the router is set to router mode.
