Hub 3 wireless bridge with TP-Link Archer C2

[RockySpears]

Hub 3 with pretty much default settings bar the password.

Archer C2  to be used as a wireless bridge to connect PC with Ethernet cable from Archer.

I had this working fine, it is not hard:  Turn on wireless-bridge mode on Archer, select wireless network to be bridged, turn off Archer DHCP, job done.

This failed for some reason and I cannot get it to work again.  Is there anything that may have changed on the Hub 3 that may have caused this?  I am sure there are loads of you out there doing this as it "just worked", but now, seems broke,

Thank you

Get another router to use as a router and put hub in modem mode.

It worked fine before. The Hub wireless is fine. PC has much better connection using the archer rather than a dongle. Just want to reinstate the archer, 

Thank you,

Did you try resetting the Archer and setting up again from scratch?

[RockySpears]

Yep, 

It just seems so silly that I think I am missing the obvious. I am now trying the set up on a different hub3

What different Hub3 - you can only have one Hub connected to the network on one VM account.  Do you mean on someone elses account and Hub?

[RockySpears]

Yes, different account.  Set the Archer up for my son, all worked fine for 6 - 8 months, maybe more. 

Now nothing.  tried to set up with my router and I end up with the 169 ip address, can't ipfconfig renew because it cannot find the DHCP server, ie the archer is not bridging to the hub for whatever reason,

  Software version    9.1.1912.304

What's the IP address of the Archer?

Can you use an Ethernet cable instead of WiFi?

[RockySpears]

The archer is 192.168.0.2  to avoid collision with the hub.

I need the archer to connect to the Hub via wireless then the PC from the archer via cable as the PC wifi connection seems poor, but with the Archer doing the bridging all was good.  ,
