Configure the Router

1. Connect your device to the router wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable. The SSIDs (wireless network names) and password are printed on the router's label.
   Note: In Client mode, you can only connect your devices to the router through a wired connection.
2. Launch a web browser and type http://tplinkwifi.net in the address bar. Create a password for future login attempts.
3. Start the Quick Setup. Follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the initial configuration.

Enjoy the internet!

Note: If you have changed the default SSID and password, you have to reconnect your wireless devices to the new Wi-Fi network.

The TP-Link Tether app provides a simple, intuitive way to access and manage your router. Scan the QR code to download Tether from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1. What should I do if I forget the router's web management password?

• If you are using a TP-Link ID to log in, click Forgot Password? on the login page and then follow the instructions to reset it.
• Alternatively, refer to FAQ > Q3 to reset the router. Then visit http://tplinkwifi.net to create a new login password.

Q2. What should I do if I forget my Wi-Fi password?

• If you have not changed the default wireless password, it can be found on the label of the router.
• Connect a computer directly to the LAN port of 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.

not available after completing the steps above, contact TP-Link Technical Support.

Q5. What can I do if my wireless keeps dropping?

• By default, your wireless channel 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, setting your wireless channel to a fixed one will prevent it from changing, and likely stabilize your network connection.

Q6. What can I do if I can't access the router's web management page?

• Set the computer to obtain an IP address automatically.
• Reboot your router and computer, and try again.

Q7. 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 fewer obstacles that may block the signal between the portable router and the main 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.
• In Range Extender mode, the ideal location to place the router is halfway between your main AP and the Wi-Fi dead zone. If that is not possible, place the router closer to your main AP to ensure stable performance.
