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?
• Power off your modem for about 5 minutes, then power it on
and check 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 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.
• For cable modem users, log in to the web management page
of the router. Go to Advanced > Network > Internet > MAC
Clone, select Clone Current Device MAC 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 for at least 2 seconds
until the LED begins circulating blue.
• Log in to the web management page of the router. Go to
Advanced > System > Backup & Restore, and click FACTORY
RESTORE. The router will reset and restart automatically.
