Your network setup depends on your router being in AP mode. Are there additional routers inside the house? If no other devices are connected—both wired and wireless—and it’s aggressively trying to connect you, consider performing a factory reset. Otherwise, replacing the device is probably necessary.
Optical cable arrives at the ONT, which connects to a switch (switch 1). That switch links to another switch (switch 2). The router operates in AP mode and is connected to switch 2. Currently, nothing beyond the smartphone is plugged into the router—essentially it's a Wi-Fi access point for smartphones and other wireless devices. I'm not using Wi-Fi from ISPs on the ONT because I don't trust it, even though I have fiber instead of regular twisted pair. I've tried a factory reset but it didn't work. Tomorrow I plan to purchase something cheaper, like the SUS RT-N19, and test it out.
Feel free to share your thoughts on the situation. Besides swapping the cable or linking directly to your ISP router, I haven't identified another issue beyond a non-responsive router or excessive network noise. Have you looked into the wireless spectrum in your area? Is there a lot of interference from neighbors?
The only other suggestion is swapping out the hardware and checking if that helps. With consumer routers, there are usually few troubleshooting options once a problem appears suddenly. Possible reasons include interference, an unauthorized client on the network (which you've likely removed), or faulty components. We'll determine if a new unit improves things. Keep the receipt handy in case it doesn't work.
I think I should get a new router. The first few times setting it up was tricky, especially after switching it to AP mode and doing a hard reset. Everything worked once again, but a few resets fixed the issue. So far the N19 is fine, though it feels a bit limited for my needs—only 2.4 GHz, two Ethernet ports, etc. It’s decent as backup, but I’m considering a more powerful one. The RP-AC68U looks nice, but I’ll have to leave it outside. It can handle both AP and night lighting at the same time.
Using a router instead of an AP means its IP might not be reachable or it could have shifted to match the parent device. You might notice it disappears entirely, requiring you to verify the main home router for its new address. Of course, I might be mistaken. In reality, APs don't use IP addresses; they depend solely on their Layer 2 MAC addresses.
I think you wrong cause it the end I wanted my router in AP mode with 192.168.1.1 address and I got it, I tried same settings each time...same IP, same Gateway and DNS, so its some kind of strange bug or some mistake I made, messed up one of the addresses perhaps, 129 instead of 192 or something like this. Its not rocket science right...any free IP address + Gateway and DNS 1 = IP of the main router. Anyone can do it I think I can even put LAN IP on auto, main router = DHCP so it will sort things out Guess we will never know, its working now so its should've worked first time if I didnt made a mistake with IP\Gateway\DNS right? I will never believe that two hard resets are helped with something
