The box is powered down at the moment, but I think I let it choose Dynamic IP.
The AX55 could see the Internet and my tablet and phone could use its wireless to access the Internet.
[Edit] Powered it up just for you, Martin. Dynamic IP it is. Which I think it's taking from the Hub One.
IF you try to change the Plusnet Hub One IP address to 10.0.01, it gives the error
"These IP settings are not valid on the Plusnet Hub".
All my devices were on 10.0.0.x and I found it much easier to enter, especially on awkward interfaces that I had to access via the telly, such as the...
You can, and I have, turn off the DCHP and the wireless.
I watched the rest of that video and it turns out I'd already done everything he mentioned.
The trouble comes when I set the Archer AX55 LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1
It then becomes invisible to the PC and ping.
I can still connect to...
Thank you for your generous help.
And, amazingly (perhaps), that is the video I was following until I hit the roadblock with the Hub One.
I will go back to it.
It appears that the Hub One doesn't have a bridge mode.
I shall think on.
I, too, am not enamoured.
Especially as it introduces a point of failure.
What happens if your connection is down?
My understanding is that you wouldn't be able to change any settings.
[Edit] Meant to ask...
The Plusnet Hub One is at 192.168.1.254
The Archer AX55 is at 192.168.1.66
Are you...
FYI The TP-Link router has a login which appears to be simultaneously on the Internet and on the router.
Once you have set up a TP-Link account, you have to log in to it on the router in order to be able to access and change most settings.
Obviously, I don't understand networking which is why I ask and receive help here.
The point of installing the Archer AX55 was to continue to use the 10.0.0.x IP range.
The Plusnet Hub One does not support the 10.0.0.x IP range.
As to the incomplete descriptions, I do not know what I do not...
Ah.
Ta.
When I changed the LAN IP Address to 10.0.0.1, I turned on DHCP and it created
an IP Address Pool of 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.253
Default gateway of 10.0.0.1
I hadn't turned off the WiFi on the Plusnet Hub One yet.
I have now.
The Archer AX55 has disappeared from the Hub One Wired...
Of course!
It was still on 192.168.1.66
Changed it to a static 10.0.04
It still couldn't see the Archer AX55
Turned off the DHCP on the Hub One and let the PC take an IP address from the Archer AX55...
It was given 169.254.175.38
No idea where that came from.
Good to know.
Good News, Bad News
It is with some degree of shock that I report that the factory reset worked.
Which is to say that I have installed the ARcher AX55 to my network and it says it can see the Internet.
I have updated the firmware.
The Hub One network map shows it at...
The Plusnet Hub One does have an option to keep the same IP address for each device.
I realised that the hosts file solution would only affect my PC and only the web browsers at that.
Ping, telnet would still require IP addresses, of course.
OK, off to factory reset my tp-link AX3000 Archer...
Hey-ho, that didn't work.
The Archer AX55 can not see the Internet.
Might factory reset it tomorrow and follow the setup instructions again...
I suppose I could avoid typing in IP addresses altogether by adding nice names to my hosts file.
I did that when I had a couple of Tivos on my...
Positive-update.
After trying everything I could think of to setup the Plusnet Hub One, I rang support.
Where a lovely woman gave me the instructions that were not in the setup manual.
If you have to set up the Hub One, this may help.
It sets itself up with the broadband username of...
Non-update.
I have spent several hours this weekend trying, and failing, to install the Hub One and the Archer AX55.
I would again like to thank all who offered advice.
It has become obvious to me that I either can not understand simple instructions or I can not follow them.
I won't be...
Thank you all for taking the time to reply.
Working backwards...
@bottletop The Archer AX55 was a new addition: it did not replace something.
My home network is based on the 10.0.0.x range with static IP for all devices.
It's ADSL with PlusNet.
@prpr I'm adding the tp-link Archer AX55 for...
Apologies for not returning to respond to your replies.
I have been a bit down.
I will go through them at some point.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Another in the saga of me trying to understand my home network.
My home network is based on the 10.0.0.x range with static IP for all devices.
Having miserably failed to attach a tp-link AX3000 Archer AX55 router to said network,
(No, I have no idea why it feels entitled to two AXs, either)...
All gaps have now been filled.
(After overnight shutdown).
I reported it in case others had the same.
Thank you for your reply and concern.
