select the 1 Gbps WAN/LAN port as the Internet port. Or after the network setup, you can go
to Tools > Internet Connection > Internet Port (Tether app) or Internet >Internet Port (web
management page) to change it.
Q2. What should I do if I can’t access the web management page?

• 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.

Q3. What should I do if I can’t access the internet?
• Log in to the web management page of the router, go to Internet > Internet Port, and check if
you selected the port that you've already plugged your Ethernet cable into.
• Power off your modem for about 5 minutes, then power it on and check the internet. If your
modem has more than one Ethernet port, keep other ports unconnected.
• 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, and go to the Network Map page to check whether the
internet IP address is valid or not. If it’s valid, go to Advanced > Network > Internet, click
Advanced Settings, select Use the Following DNS Addresses, set the primary DNS to 8.8.8.8,
and set the secondary DNS to 8.8.4.4. If it is not, check the hardware connection or contact
your internet service provider.

management page at http://tplinkwi.net, and go to the Wireless page to retrieve or reset your
wireless password .
