Every data connection (wired or wireless) with the router has its own unique local IP address assigned by the router's DHCP server. The tp-link router (Archer AXE75) is new since a few months, latest firmware, etc .... Never had any issues with the router.
Now I realize that something is missing in the router: log files about network devices coming online or going offline, with info about precise timing (1 sec accuracy) and a recording of maybe other system info for the purpose of trouble shooting and analysis.
There is a system log but that does not hold any info about trouble shooting relevant to my case.

Addendum
I just had a weired thing with the router... The printer fell asleep before noon after being put on this morning.
At noon I pushed the printer's home button and all was OK: printer woke up, printer icon appeared in the W7 Network pane, could check the printer's dashboard, could print and scan, did a ping to the printer (192.168.1.101 in my case) from the W7 PC, so all ok, ....
Except for the router's dashboard; de printer did not at all appear in the router's Connected Client list (Network Map > Clients).
So I logged out en back in into the router's dashboard several times but the printer did not show on the router's Connected Client list while everthing about the printer kept on working normal.
It was only after pinging the printer from within the router's dashboard (router ping: Advanced > System > Diagnostics) that the printer immediately re-appeared in the Connected Client list.
Maybe a glitch in the router's firmware ...
