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?
• 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.
• 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. How should I position my router for optimal Wi-Fi performance?
• Don't place your router in a corner or in a closet.
• Avoid obstacles and high-powered appliances.
• Keep your router in a central location at a certain height.
• Keep the antennas vertical when the router is placed on a desktop.
Keep the antennas upright when the router is hanging on a wall.
