I specified the IP address “10.0.0.2” in my web browser, but an error message says "The
page cannot be displayed." How can I get into TPL-111BRP web configuration page?
Please verify your hardware and TCP/IP settings again by following the instructions in
sections 2-3, make sure the Power, Internet, WAN, and the LAN lights on the AP/Router's

10.0.0.2 again using your web browser.
I am not sure what type of Internet Account I have for my Cable/DSL connection, How do
I find out?
You can simply contact your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) Customer Service or
Technical Support Department for the correct information.
I set up my internet connection type and saved it, but I still cannot connect to the
Internet. What should I do?
Option 1: On the TPL-111BRP's configuration menu, click the Status tab at the top of
the page, and then scroll down to the WAN section. Click the WAN IP Release button, and
then click the WAN IP Renew button. This will allow the AP/Router to refresh the connection

modem, and wait 60 seconds. Then, turn on the AP/Router, followed by your PC. This simple
power cycle normally helps the AP/Router find your Internet connection. Then, try browsing a
