Q1. What can I do if I cannot access internet?

• If using a cable modem, unplug the Ethernet cable and reboot the modem. Wait until its LED is on and stable, and then reconnect the Ethernet cable to the modem.

• If you're in a hotel room or on a trade show, the internet may be limited and requires that you authenticate for the service or purchase the internet access.

• If your internet access is still not available, contact TP-LINK Technical Support.

Q2. How do I restore the router to its factory default settings?

• With the router powered on, press and hold the Reset button until the LED starts blinking, and then release the button.

Q3. What can I do if I forgot my web management password?

• Refer to FAQ > Q2 to reset the router, and use the default admin (all lowercase) for both username and password to log in.

Q4. What can I do if I forgot my wireless network password?

• If you have not changed the default Wireless Password, it can be found on the label of the router.

• Connect a computer to the router via an Ethernet cable. Log in to the web management page, and go to Wireless > Wireless

Security to retrieve or reset your wireless password.

Q5. What can I do if my wireless signal is unstable or weak?

It may be caused by too much interference.

• Change your wireless channel to a dierent one.

• Choose a location with less obstacles that may block the signal between the router and the host 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.

• When in Repeater mode, the ideal location to place the router is about halfway between your host AP and the Wi-Fi dead zone. The location you choose must be within the range of your existing host network.
