Connect your computer to the controller using an Ethernet cable. 2. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the controller. 3. Go to Basic > Wireless to retrieve or reset your wireless password. Q2.
4 ) Click LAN settings and clear the following three options and click OK. 5 ) Go to Advanced > Restore advanced settings, click OK to save the settings.
• Use another web browser or computer to log in again. • Reset the controller to factory default settings and try again. If login still fails, please contact the technical support. Note: You’ll need to reconfigure the controller to access the internet once the controller is reset. Q4. What should I do if I cannot access the internet even though the configuration is finished? 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the controller. 2.
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. Please manually configure the DNS server. 1 ) Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings, and locate the DHCP section. 2 ) Enter 8.8.8.8 as Primary DNS, click Save. Tips: 8.8.8.8 is a safe and public DNS server operated by Google. • Restart the modem and the controller. 1 ) Power off your modem and controller, and leave them off for 1 minute. 2 ) Power on your modem first, and wait about 2 minutes until it gets a solid cable or Internet light.
• Check the TCP/IP settings on the particular device if all other devices can get internet from the controller. As the following image shows, if the IP Address is 0.0.0.0, please try the methods below: • Make sure the physical connection between the controller and the modem is proper. • Clone the MAC address of your computer. 1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the controller.
• The MAC addresses of a computer in wired connection and wireless connection are different. • Modify the LAN IP address of the controller. Note: Most TP-Link routers use 192.168.0.1/192.168.1.1 as their default LAN IP address, which may conflict with the IP range of your existing ADSL modem/router. If so, the router is not able to communicate with your modem and you can’t access the internet.
6 ) Restart the modem and the controller again. • Please upgrade the firmware of the controller. If you’ve tried every method above but still cannot access the internet, please contact the technical support. Q5. What should I do if I cannot find my wireless network or I cannot connect the wireless network? If you fail to find any wireless network, please follow the steps below: • Make sure the wireless function of your device is enabled if you’re using a laptop with built-in wireless adapter.
5 ) Right click Wireless Zero Configuration, and then select Properties. 6 ) Change Startup type to Automatic, click on Start button and make sure the Service status is Started. And then click OK. If you can find other wireless network except your own, please follow the steps below: • Check the WLAN LED indicator on your wireless controller/modem. • Make sure your computer/device is still in the range of your controller/modem. Move it closer if it is currently too far away.
2 ) If you cannot find the PIN or PIN failed, you may choose Connecting using a security key instead, and then type in the Wireless Password/Network Security Key. 3 ) If it continues to show note of Network Security Key Mismatch, it is suggested to confirm the wireless password of your wireless controller. Note: Wireless Password/Network Security Key is case sensitive.
