HP Microserver not connecting to new router AC1900

"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?
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"?

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?
