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. 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 of the router, and go to the Network Map page to check whether the WAN IP address is valid or not. If it’s valid, go to Advanced > Network > Internet, 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.
Q3. What should I do if the router can’t be found via Bluetooth in Tether

factory defaults. There are two ways to reset the router:
