Archer A7 not showing anything connected to it since the firmware update
Archer A7 not showing anything connected to it since the firmware update

Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.9 Build 20190403 rel.72961

After installing firmware ver. 1.0.9 Build 20190403 rel.72961 when I look at what is connected to it from either the app or through a browser on my PC it show I have nothing connected to it.  Either through Wifi or hardwire.  I do have my phone connected on the 5Ghz Wifi and I have a TV connecting on the 2.4Ghz.  I have a number of items connected hardwire, like my cable box and TV.  The Archer A7 is configured as an Access Point and has always been this way.  The old firmware would show all of my connections but now it shows nothing is connected to it but all of the devices connected to are talking accross the network without an issue.

If you log into the A7 and go to Network > DHCP Server do you see your devices listed there?

Mine is configured as an Access Point, so it does not have DHCP active.

Switch to router mode to see if the devices show connected either on the status screen or DHCP server. What result do you get, if you switch back to AP Mode, you still have the same issue? If possible, please provide a screenshot of what you see in AP Mode.

I am having a similar issue as the Printer Server is not able to connect to my printer after upgrading firmware to 1.0.11 Build 20190810 rel.50990.  Prior I had no problem connecting to the printer server and when logging into the router.  Now it the USB settings only show "-sharing access" when the printer is connected.

Here is the screenshot showing my disconnect and reconnect of the USB printer.

Any help is appreciated.

The original issue is different from what you mentioned with the latest firmware. 

 

If you would like the print server menu, please downgrade to the previous version. With the latest version you will need to either connect the printer with a Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi.
