Model: Archer AX6000  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.2

I just updated the software on my ax6000 to new 1.4.2 and now I can't user the router in bridge mode. Only works as a router. How do I fix this? I had no issues before.

Hello @zb123,

Thank you for contacting our community.

 

Have you connected an Ethernet cable to the Archer AX6000's WAN port for network access? Please change it to the Archer AX6000's LAN port for comparison.

We are still analyzing the cause of this situation. If there is any update, I will let you know.

 

Thanks for your kind understanding.

Hi@zb123,

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

 

It appears to be the case, and we are working to locate the issue as soon as possible.

 

Does the network recover after changing to LAN port? If the network recovers, please keep the current connection. I will get back to you if there are any updates.

I can try later. As a work around I just have it on the WAN port and in router mode. 
 

so I should try putting the Ethernet in LAN port and access point mode?

  @zb123 ,

Yes, change it to LAN port and work in AP mode for comparison.
