- If internet access is still unavailable, contact TP-Link Technical Support
Q2. How do I restore the router to its factory default settings?
With the router powered on, use a pin to press and hold the RESET button until all the LEDs turn off, and then release the button
Q3. What should I do if I forget the router’s web management password?
- Refer to FAQ > Q2 to reset the router, then create a password to log in.

Q5. What should I do if my wireless signal is unstable or too weak?
It may be caused by too much interference.
- Set your wireless channel to a different one.
- Choose a location with less obstacles that may block the signal between the travel router and the host AP. An open corridor or a spacious location is ideal.
- Move the router to a new location away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronics, such as cordless phones, microwaves, and baby monitors, to minimize signal interference.
