I’ve been using my TP-Link router (BE 400/ BE 6500) as a gateway for my Jio Fiber router for about a week now, was working fine.
Yesterday, the internet went down and when it came back, the TP-Link router stopped connecting. Since I had disabled the Jio SSIDs, I couldn’t connect directly to them. The TP-Link showed a red light for internet. I tried the usual stuff, restarts and resets, but nothing worked.
I logged into the TP-Link router via LAN, and it showed an internet issue.
But the Jio router still worked fine via LAN. Peculiarly I couldn’t access the Jio Centrum login through LAN either, so I re-enabled the SSID using the Jio Android app.
After that with the internet restored on jio, I tried everything on the TP Link router: changed the LAN cable, soft reset, hard reset to factory settings, still no luck. Eventually, I got the TP-Link one working again by reconfiguring it, cloning the MAC address, and putting it into access point mode.
Now, it technically works, but it still shows a red sign on the TP-Link login page (tplinkwifi.net) and the routers internet blinker. The Tether app doesn’t detect the router either.
On top of that, even though the JioFiber SSID is on (as a backup) and the alternate router’s SSID is also running, I can’t connect to the TP-Link account. The router seems to block a ton of sites: GitHub, Reddit, Discord, Steam even innocuous ones like GSMArena and Twitter.
DNS switching doesn’t work either, and neither do VPNs. Somehow, even when I manually set a DNS, it doesn't connect to the listed websites.
I know Jio sometimes messes up with certain sites, but I feel like I’m the only one facing this. Feels like something went wrong on my side, but I can’t figure out what. Probably something simple - I just dunno enough about routers and networking to fix it.
ty for takin the time to read, any fixes or suggestions are welcome!
