HP Microserver not connecting to new router AC1900
I have a HP microserver. t connects it through my router to my computer. I have recently bought a AC1900 but I cannot access my microserver. How can I connect my microserver to my computer through my router?

"AC1900" is a speed, not a model number. Ever helpful, Netgear
product packaging emphasizes speeds like "ACxxxx", but that's not the
model identifier. Look at the product label.

Is that accurate? Firmware version?

Whan you do what, exactly? "cannot" is not a useful problem
description. It does not say what you did. It does not say what
happened when you did it. As usual, showing actual actions with their
actual results (error messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful
than vague descriptions or interpretations. "access" is no better.

Ethernet cables? What, exactly, does "connect" mean to you? What,
exactly, would you like to do?

Ethernet cables? What, exactly, does "connect" mean to you? What,
exactly, would you like to do?That SERVER has an Ethernet Port which I assume you connected to the router.
Now all you need do is SHARE that Server, just like any other PC. So what PC do you have and what OS is it running? Windows 10? You'll need to enable SMB1 to see a share. Probably need to set up the server to allow access by devices on your LAN as well. If you want External access, that has to be set up as well.
Please explain what you've tried and what isn't working? Do you see the server on the router as a connected device on the LAN map?
More info is really needed here to assist you.
My operating system is Windows 7. I had an old router which was connected to my microserver. Everything was working fine. I upgraded my router to a AC1900 R7000 and now the router will not connect to my microserver. When I go to my router I cannot see my microserver as being listed as a device. Can you help?
More questions, what other router did you have?. Are you replacing it or trying to add the R7000?
My old router stopped working so I replaced it with a AC1900 R7000. My microserver worked with the old router but doesn't work with the AC1900 R7000

What's the OS on your (unspecified) "my microserver"?
> [...] I had an old router which was connected to my microserver.
> Everything was working fine.
What was the IP address of your (unspecified) "my microserver" then?
If you configured your (unspecified) "my microserver" with a static IP
address compatible with your (unspecified) "an old router", and it's now
incompatible with your R7000, then that could explain much.

When you do _what_? Are you looking at a "BASIC > Attached Devices"
report, or what?

With my weak psychic powers, I have no idea how your (unspecified)
"my microserver" is connected to the R7000, if the LED indicators on the
R7000 and/or your (unspecified) "my microserver" indicate a good
physical link, or how you configured the network interface on your
(unspecified) "my microserver".

Can you provide some basic information?
