Frequently Asked Questions - Archer D20 TP-LINK

How to set up my TP-Link Archer D20 router?

Plug in the router, open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.1. Log in with the default username and password (admin/admin). Follow the quick setup wizard to enter your ADSL/VDSL settings.

What to do if I forget the administrator password?

Perform a hard reset: press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router for about 10 seconds with a paperclip until the LEDs flash. The settings will revert to factory defaults.

How to update the firmware of the Archer D20?

Download the latest firmware version from TP-Link's official website. Log in to the administration interface, go to System Tools > Firmware Upgrade, select the downloaded file and click Update. Do not turn off the power during the operation.

Why is my Wi-Fi slow or unstable?

Try changing the Wi-Fi channel in the wireless settings. Avoid interference by placing the router away from other electronic devices. You can also enable 20/40 MHz bandwidth and verify that encryption is set to WPA2.

How to enable parental controls?

In the administration interface, go to Access Control or Parental Controls. You can block websites by keywords or URL, or restrict access to certain times for specific devices.

The DSL LED is flashing or off, what should I do?

Check that the telephone cable is properly connected to the DSL port of the router and to the wall socket. If the LED remains off, contact your Internet service provider to check the line. Flashing indicates synchronization in progress.

Can I use the Archer D20 as a simple Wi-Fi access point?

Yes, you can disable the DHCP server and connect an Ethernet cable between a LAN port of the main router and a LAN port of the Archer D20. You can also configure Access Point mode in the advanced settings.

How to reset the Wi-Fi password?

Log in to the administration interface, go to Wireless > Security. Change the pre-shared key (password) and click Save. Restart the router if necessary. All devices will need to reconnect with the new password.

What is the difference between LAN and WAN ports?

The WAN port (blue) is used to connect the router to a modem or telephone socket for the internet. The LAN ports (yellow) are used to connect wired devices like a computer or switch. The Archer D20 has a combo DSL WAN port.

My device does not detect the Wi-Fi network, what should I do?

Check that Wi-Fi is enabled: the Wi-Fi LED on the router should be on. Restart the router. If the problem persists, log in to the interface and verify that the SSID (network name) is not hidden. Try changing the Wi-Fi channel.
