Almost all actions that the user wants to perform with his network must be performed through the web interface of the connected router. Such manipulations include port forwarding, changing wireless network settings, installing filtering based on specified parameters, and much more, including the main configuration process when connecting the router for the first time. Next, we would like to present a step-by-step guide for owners of TP-Link routers who do not know exactly how to log into the Internet center.
Connecting a modem
Before installing the device, you need to look at (or better yet, take a photo with your phone) the sticker on the bottom cover. It provides the router's address and additional information about the login, the name of the wireless network, if provided, and ADSL settings.
Further actions depend on the device version:
- The device is made in the form of a separate block to which you need to connect wires.
- In the form of a USB modem (frequently offered by mobile operators).
In the first case, it is placed on a flat surface, in the second, it is connected to a free computer port. For the second option, the installation is complete. You need to enter tplinkmodem.net in your browser to log in and connect settings.
For the first, you need to connect the power wires, network cables from the computer and the provider.
Login and password to enter your personal account tplinkmodem.net under admin
Login to the modem is carried out using a standard login and password pair: admin - admin. In the latest models, a login and password are not specified, but are set the first time the device connects to a computer or mobile device (phone or tablet running Android or iOS), if the connection is via Wi-Fi.
If the password is changed and forgotten, resetting the settings to factory settings will help, but in this case the config responsible for connecting to the Internet and the WiFi network (if the modem supports Wi-Fi) will be deleted and the settings will have to be created again.
tplinklogin.net – devices
Most modern TP-Link devices support this address. Even those that do not have it indicated on the sticker (the 1043rd itself, where the address is digital, but this one also fits without any problems). Some attempt since 2011 to create a single address for logging into any TP-Link devices in case the main IP address changes. Known models that support this cabinet:
TL-WR720N | C2 |
TL-WR741ND | C7 |
TL-WR840N | S20 |
TL-WR841N | C30 |
TL-WR940N | C50 |
C70 |
But most likely your device also supports this address.
Attention! The Internet domain tplinklogin.net no longer belongs to TP-Link. Rumor has it that they forgot to renew it and it was intercepted by third parties. The company did not buy it back, but replaced it with new devices on tplinkwifi.net (see below). It is not recommended to use this particular address, although all devices successfully support it when connected. As an alternative, use IP addresses.
Changing the administrator password
Despite the fact that the manufacturer offers several lines of devices, the setup system for the device itself has many common details. In particular, in the web interface of each there is a “System Tools” section, where you can update the firmware, select the operating mode, set the time, run diagnostics and change the administrator password.
This is done on a separate page, which is usually called that. There, traditionally for the brand, you can change the password and set a new username. For control, the new password is entered twice, and for security, you need to provide current data. After filling out all the fields and confirming, the web interface reboots, and you will need to enter new data to log in.
It is not possible to open the Admin system - the personal account is not available
What should you do if you enter the specified web or IP address, but the modem settings login page does not open?
First of all, you need to check your network connection settings. I’ll show you how to get to them on Windows 10 - this is the most popular operating system today. So, right-click on the “Start” menu and go to the section of the same name
Next, find “Network and Sharing Center”
In the left column there will be a link “Change adapter settings” - click on it.
And now we select the connection that you use to connect to your router - “Wireless” if via WiFi, or “Via Local Network” if you connected to it with a cable. Right-click on it and go to “Properties”
Next, open “Internet Protocol Version 4” and look at what is specified here in the settings. If there are any parameters entered manually, then we copy them onto a piece of paper - it will be useful when further setting up the Internet on the router.
Then put all the checkboxes on automatic mode and save.
If you can't log into the router
Logging into the admin panel of a router is not always necessary when using it for the first time. Sometimes this is required when changing providers or needing to change settings. If the user initially changed the password, and then cannot remember it, then a factory reset is required.
This can be done by pressing a special button located on the back or side panel of the device. To prevent accidental pressing, it is recessed into the body, so you will have to use a needle or other thin object. Most models require you to press the button for 10 seconds.
Reset Button Location
When the settings are reset, the device will reboot. You can log in using the method described above.
Important! Today, these routers are often sold by Internet providers. They can change the default login and password. Usually they are written in the contract for the supply of equipment, but sometimes there is a sticker on the device itself over the factory one indicating this information.
Using special programs such as TeamViewer, it is possible to log into your computer remotely and perform all actions without leaving your home. Such methods are often used by system administrators to solve problems when there is a conflict of IP addresses or other problems related to the operation of the Wi-Fi router.
How to set up Tplink range repeater using WPS button?
Setting up the range extender is very simple using the WPS button. To set up a WiFi tp link repeater, follow these steps.
- Turn on the Tplink band repeater after plugging the adapter into the electrical outlet.
- Find and press the WPS button on your router or access point, and then immediately press the WPS button on the extender.
- Wait about two minutes. You will see an LED indicator on your repeater. If the wireless signal goes out after two minutes, the connection will not be established. If it exists, then the connection was established successfully.
- After successful connection, you can change the position of your repeater.
Best Features in Tplink Router
- MU-MIMO stands for Multi-User Output, this feature allows the device to communicate with four devices at the same time. Instead of waiting for devices, it streams data to up to four devices simultaneously.
- Dual-band and tri-band routers: Tri-band routers are the trend these days. These tri-band routers provide maximum speed using dual bands of 5GHz and 2.4GHz. Dual band is also useful for users who want high-speed Internet at home.
- QoS (Quality of Service): This feature prioritizes devices based on usage, such as games, applications, Ethernet LAN port, or MAC addresses.
- Gigabit Ethernet Ports: These are the fastest ports that transfer data from one device to another on a network.
Tplink repeater operation
A repeater is a device used to extend the existing range of your router.
There are many areas in your home that remain untouched by a Wi-Fi signal. To access the Internet in these areas, a so-called Wi-Fi extender is used. The repeater receives the signal from your router, so you have to place it within the range of your router's WiFi signal and then transmit it to areas where there is no signal. You should place the extension cord halfway between the router and the dead zone. LED indicators located on the front will indicate the correct direction and coverage area of the repeater.
How to login to tplinkmodem.net
Step 1: Connect the modem
Connect the modem as shown in the figure.
- connect the modem to the network;
- connect the ADSL cable to the modem or insert a SIM card if you are going to receive the Internet via a mobile network;
- if the setup is carried out over a local network, connect the Ethernet port to the computer; if via WiFi, connect to the network.
- turn on the power to the modem.
Step 2. Log in to your personal account
- Enter the address in the router: tplinkmodem.net (the link is clickable and leads to the login page for your personal account). You can dial the address without restrictions: https://tplinkmodem.net, https://www. tplinkmodem.net, https://tplinkmodem.net, https://www. tplinkmodem.net or tplinkmodem.net;
- Log in using login (1) and password (2), by default admin - admin b click login (3) or, if access has changed, a new login and password. Perhaps, in the first step, the router will immediately open your personal account and ask you to choose a login and password yourself;
