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.
Use another web browser and try again.
Disable and enable the network adapter in use.

Q3. What should I do if I can’t access the internet?

Log in to the web management page of the router, go to Internet > Internet Port, and check if you selected the port that you’ve already plugged your Ethernet cable into.
Reboot your modem and router, then try again.
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 is, go to Advanced > Quick Setup to set up again; otherwise, check the hardware connection.
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.
Connect a computer directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. Log in to the router’s web management page at http://tplinkwifi.net, and go to the Wireless page to retrieve or reset your wireless password.

Q5. What should I do if I forget my web management page password?

If you are using a TP-Link ID to log in, click Forgot Password? on the login page and then follow the instructions to reset it.
