Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

my Wi-Fi password?
• If you forget the password required to access the router's web
management or your Wi-Fi password, you must restore the router to its
factory default settings.
• If you want to retrieve your Wi-Fi password, use a device that is
connected to the router (wired or wirelessly) and login to the router's
managment page, under Wireless > Wireless Security.

Q3. What can I do if there is no Internet access?
• If using a cable modem, reboot the modem, then wait until its Online
LED is solid (ON). Reconnect the cable to the router.
• Set the router to Router Mode according to the instructions.
If Internet access is still not available after completing the steps above,
contact TP-LINK Technical Support.
Q4. What can I do if my wireless keeps dropping?
By default, your wireless channel setting is set to Auto, which automatically
selects the least-congested channel between 1 and 11 for best
performance, but it may also cause frequent wireless drops. In this case,
set your wireless channel to a fixed channel will prevent it from changing,
and likely stabilize your network connection.
Q5. What do I do if I can't access the router's web management page?
• Change the computer's static IP address to obtain an IP address
automatically.
• Reboot your router and computer, and try it again.

Q6. What can I do to maximize my signal strength?
When choosing an ideal location to optimize wireless signal in Repeater mode,
please use the following recommendations.
• The Best Way is Halfway
Generally, the ideal location for the Nano router is halfway between your
wireless router and your Wi-Fi devices. If that is not possible, place the
router closer to your wireless router to ensure stable performance.
• Less Obstacles Ensure Better Performance
Choose a location with less obstacles that may block the signal between
the Nano router and the main router. An open corridor or a spacious
location is ideal.
• Less Interference Provides More Stability
Choose a location away from other bluetooth devices or radioactive
devices such as cordless phone, microwave, etc., to minimize interference.
