Model: Archer A7  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi all looking for help! to setup AC1750 with my Sky Q hub (ER115) to extend my WiFi range as the Sky Q hub has rubbish range in house at the moment. I did follow the setup instructions but don't think it's been setup correctly so proper instructions would be much appreciated if anyone can give me guidance or links as anything I've seen online doesn't show the AC1750 with the ER115 model

Hello, how do you connect the Archer A7 to the Sky Q hub? By wired cable or wireless? 

 

If they are connected by wired cable, you can configure Archer A7 as the access point to boost the wifi signal. Instruction listed as below:

While if you want to connect the Archer A7 to the Sky Q hub by wifi, you can enable the WDS bridging function to satisfy your needs.

May it help.

@Kevin_Z  Hi I connect it via Ethernet cable, what is the best settings to get the most from Archer A7. Would I turn the WiFi off on the Sky Q hub? Would it be better to connect via WiFi? to allow me to move the A7 upstairs rather than being next to the Sky Q hub due to length of the Ethernet cabl that comes with the A7

@Paulh37 

sky q should find your router. How far away are we talking about?

got mine connected via a long Ethernet cable as I had them there anyway.

It is suggested to connect the Archer A7 to the Sky Q hub by wired cable to boost the wifi signal. cause the performance will be better compared with wireless connection due to the less interference. 

 

While if you want to move the Archer A7 upstairs and the cable is not long enough, you can connect it to the hub by wifi as the instruction mentioned. 

 

May it help.
