Q1. 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.
Use another web browser and try again.
Reboot your router and try again.
Disable and enable the network adapter in use.
Q2. What should I do if I can’t access the internet?
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.
Reboot your router and try again.
For cable modem users, log in to the web management page
of the router and go to Advanced > Network > Internet > MAC
Clone. Select Use 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 blinks.
Log in to the web management page of the router. Go to
Advanced > System Tools > Backup & Restore, and click
Factory Restore. The router will reset and restart automatically.
