Q1. What should I do if I want to use 1 Gbps WAN/LAN port for internet service?****
– Connect to the 1 Gbps WAN/LAN port with an Ethernet cable.
During the quick network setup, 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?****
– 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.

Q3. 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. 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.
– 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 Device MAC and click SAVE. Then reboot both the modem and the router.
Q4. What should I do if I forget my wireless password?****
– If you have not changed the default wireless password, it can be found on
the label at the bottom of the router.

the router’s web management page at
http://tplinkwifi.net, and go to the Wireless page

Q5. How should I position my router for optimal Wi-Fi performance?****
– Don’t place your router in a corner or in a closet.
