Q1. What should I do if I can’t access the web
management page?
• Reboot your router and try again.
• If the computer is set to a static IP, change its settings to
obtain an IP address automatically.
• Verify that http://tplinkwifi.net is correctly entered in the web
browser. Alternatively, enter http://192.168.0.1 or
http://192.168.1.1 in the web browser.
• Use another web browser and try again.
• Disable and enable the network adapter in use.
Q2. What should I do if I can’t access the internet?
• Reboot your modem and router, then try again.
• Check if the internet is working normally by connecting a
computer directly to the modem via an Ethernet cable. If it is
not, contact your internet service provider.
• Log in to the web management page of the router, and go to
the Basic > Network Map page to check whether the internet
IP address is valid or not. If it is, please run the Quick Setup
again; otherwise, check the hardware connection.
• For cable modem users, log in to the web management page
of the router and go to Advanced > Network > Internet > MAC
Clone. Select Clone Current Computer MAC Address and
click Save. Then reboot both the modem and the router.
Q3. What should I do if the router can’t be found via
Bluetooth in Tether (how to reset the router)?
The router's Bluetooth will be enabled for 30 minutes following
a reset to factory defaults. There are two ways to reset the
router:
• With the router powered on, use a pin to press and hold the
Reset button on the back of the router until the LED begins
circulating blue.
• Log in to the web management page of the router. Go to
Advanced > System Tools > Backup & Restore, and click
