[SOLVED] TP Link archer c7

[sibuns]

Hello.

I have 2 questions. Lets start with the first one. I bought an archer c7 v5 router. I flashed the open wrt on it but it was to complex for me so i flashed the stock firmware back on. I can only connect to router with this address http://tplinkwifi.net. If i use the ip for example 192.168.1.1 I get the page cannot be found error with the url http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci. It looks like soemthing stayed on the memory from open wrt flash. Is there any way to fix it ?

For the second question. I have a problem with the external HDD. I have samsung m3 1tb external ahrd drive. The router only has 1 usb 2.0 port and it looks like it doesnt give enough power to power up the hdd. The hdd doesnt have any external connection for power. What is the solution so i can use this drive connected to router ?

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Start by flushing the cache and deleting cookies in your browser. It is more likely a browser issue than a firmware install issue.
Your USB drive issue would require a powered USB hub.

Ok you were right about the first issue.

I dont want a hub. Is there a usb cable with external power (like extender) avaliable to buy? And how can i search this or what is it called ?

Best regards

I don't find any obvious external powered USB cable.
