Optimization Guide
When choosing an ideal location to optimize the performance of repeater mode, please keep the points below in mind.
What can I do if I forget my password?
How do I restore my TL-WR710N to factory default settings?
With the Router powered on, use a pin to press and hold the Reset button for about 5 seconds.
Upon reset, the device will clear all previous configurations and default to router mode.
I cannot access Internet via my Cable Modem. What do i do?
Reset the cable modem by powering it o, and then powering it back on. Wait until its ONLINE LED is solid. Next, unplug the TL-WR710N and plug it back in. This will allow you to access Internet in most cases.
If the above does not work and you are unsure which mode the TL-WR710N is in, please reset the TL-WR710N so that it defaults back to Router Mode.
What can I do if my wireless keeps dropping?
By default, your wireless channel setting is set to "auto" This setting causes the TL-WR710N to select the least congested channel between 1 and 11, allowing you to achieve the best performance.
You may be experiencing frequent wireless drops due to an often changing channel setting. In this case, setting your wireless channel setting to a static channel between 1 and 11 will prevent the wireless frequency from changing, and likely stabilize your network connection.
The TL-WR710N is on and I am connected, but I cannot access the Web Management Page through my browser.
You need change your computer's configuration settings to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "obtain DNS server address automatically".
Please refer to the instructions below:

What can I do if my signal strength is low?
Low signal strength can be caused by obstruction from walls or objects. If you are receiving low signal strength, try to place your TL-WR710N in a higher location, keeping it away from obstructed locations like under or behind a desk.
Generally speaking, putting your TL-WR710N in a location central to your home will maximize your signal coverage.
What can I do if I want to switch the Operating Mode or change some settings?
In any time if you want to change the Operating Mode, please refer to the "Operating Mode Configuration" Section to change the mode. You may also change any settings via the Web management page.
