Tp link management. How to log in to TP-Link router? Connecting and configuring a TP-Link router. Most common default router IP addresses and passwords

TP-LINK is one of the leading brands for the production of network equipment... Modems of this brand are distinguished by their affordable price, reliability and functionality sufficient for home use. Many users of these products are interested in how to enter system settings TP-Link router... This is done in just a couple of minutes. You need to know the authorization data and correctly connect the device.

Connecting to a computer or laptop

You can configure the router directly (via cable) and via Wi-Fi. Some users use a regular (not Wi-Fi) modem, so we will consider the way how a classic router connection to the Internet and a PC / laptop is performed. Please note that if the bundle does not include a LAN cable (or it is of the wrong length), you will have to purchase it separately.

After choosing a place for placement (taking into account the presence of an outlet), follow these steps of the instruction:

1. Take the power supply and plug it into a power outlet. Connect the wire plug to the power connector on the router (designated by the abbreviation 5V-XA, where instead of X there will be a number depending on the amperage of the model).
2. Connect the Internet cable to the WAN (INTERNET) port. As a rule, it is presented in a single copy, while it differs in color from the rest.
3. Take a network cable, and then connect the network card port on the computer and one of the LAN connectors. As you can see, you can connect multiple devices to the modem (only 4 for the router).

Please note that the connector on the computer's network card has LEDs that should blink when packets arrive. Once the TP-Link router is connected, go to the main menu.

Login to the web interface

The router has more than 20 different functions, which are controlled through a special interface. To enter it, you need to know three main parameters:

• Device IP address;
• Username;
• password.

If at least one parameter is missing, you will not be able to enter. But this is an unlikely situation. Necessary information located on a label affixed to the case. It is indicated by the Default Settings box. Make a note of the IP, Username and Password fields.

1. On a laptop or personal computer open a browser (Chrome, Opera, Firefox or standard).
2. In the address, type the IP indicated on the label of the router. Press Enter.
3. You will be taken to the login page. Here you should enter Username (usually the word admin) and password.

If you enter an error, you will only receive a message that the entered data is incorrect. The number of attempts is unlimited. This is how you enter the settings of the TP-LINK router. All necessary changes are made in the menu (up to setting up the connection).

Factory reset

Inexperienced users can put wrong parameters, respectively, disrupt the operation of the device. Return standard settings factory reset will help. It is provided at the hardware and software level. Resetting will also help to restore the default password and authorization login. This is useful when intruders gained access to the device and changed the data.

Hard reset to factory settings is performed through a special button on the panel - RESET. It must be held for at least 10 seconds. Successful execution will be indicated by the simultaneous lighting up and extinguishing of all LEDs on the front panel. As a rule, the button is "pressed" into the body (so you don't accidentally press it), so use a paper clip, pen or toothpick.

Some models have a combined WPS / RESET button. If you press it for 5-7 seconds, the WPS function is activated. The reset is performed with a long hold of 10+ seconds.

Factory reset is the easiest and fastest method to return your router to its default settings and then start over from the beginning.

A soft reset is performed in the system menu:

1. Open the "System" section. Click on the "Factory Settings" tab.
2. There will be only one button in the window called "Restore". Click on it and wait for the process to complete.

You can perform a reset for several reasons: there were problems with the work, you have lost the data for logging into the web interface, you need to roll back the state to re-configure.

Potential Login Problems and Solutions

In some situations, users cannot get to the router menu. This may be due to the following reasons:

• there is no connection to the device (cable, ports are damaged, drivers are not installed on network card or non-working fee);
• automatic learning of IP addresses is not included;
• you are using the wrong login address;
• the router has a hardware breakdown, which makes it impossible to get into the web interface.

• Update the driver for the network card or try connecting the router to another computer / laptop. Download the driver only from the manufacturer's official website. Standard remedy updates "Windows" does not always find the latest version.
• Set up automatic acquisition of IP addresses.

The last point can be done through the interface operating system Windows. The instruction includes the following steps:

In most situations, this move allows you to enter the settings without problems. Also try resetting the TCP / IP protocols through the console. This is done by one team. After entering it, restart your computer, and then try to get into the router settings.

TP-Link routers are found in homes and offices, perhaps most often along with D-Link and Zyxel. The manufacturer offers both budget compact models and large routers with three or more antennas and big amount functions. Configuring any TP-Link router takes place on the web page in the browser. How to get into it? What can be changed there?

The most common models of TP-Link routers

Judging by the data from Yandex.Market, the following are considered the most polar routers from TP-Link:

All of these models have the most reviews and positive ratings from 4 to 4.5 out of a possible 5 points.

Connecting a TP-Link router

For configuration, the router is connected to a computer via Wi-Fi or a network cable, which is usually in its box. The second method is preferable, so let's consider it. It's pretty simple:

How to enter the web settings of a TP-Link router: page address, default login and password

When the connection between the PC and the router is established using a cable, open any browser:

1. In the navigation field, manually type in or paste via Ctrl + V the following: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 (one of the addresses will work). The exact IP is on back side network gadget - on the label. Universal address for different devices of this company - http://tplinkwifi.net.

   Enter the page address in the navigation bar

2. Write one English word admin for two parameters at once - for login and security key. This is the factory data for entering the TP-Link shell. Later, in the shell, you can change them so that no one but you can go into the settings and change them. Click on "Login".

   Use the word admin to enter the settings of your TP-Link router

3. If you failed to enter, for example, an error with code 401 occurred, then you entered the wrong combinations. Try to enter them again, but before that, make sure that the Caps Lock button is not enabled and you are writing in English.

   The Caps Lock key sometimes has an indicator

4. If the second attempt is also unsuccessful, reset the router to factory settings using the internal Reset button on the back of the router next to the network outlets. Hold it down for 10 seconds with a needle, toothpick, or other oblong thin object. When the indicators flash, the reset is complete - the router will reboot. Please login again.

   On the back panel of the router, find the Reset button - it is inside it

5. If you still can't log in, try disabling your antivirus, Windows Firewall. Use other browsers such as the main Internet Explorer.

Also make sure that in the settings local network the correct value of the IP-address of the router is:

Firmware upgrade

Before setting up, check if the router has last option"Operating systems" (another name is firmware), and if not, update it. Let's consider the update using the example of the TL-WR841N model:

1. Go to the manufacturer's official website. In the search on the right, enter the name of the model - in the drop-down menu, click on yours.

   Open the official TP-Link resource

2. Start the "Support" section.

   Click on the "Support" item on the top panel

3. Click on the "Firmware" tile.

   Go to the "Firmware" block

4. Be sure to read the rules for updating the firmware on the website. Remember the name latest version Software that is available on the site.

   Pay attention to the number current version firmware

5. In the web shell of the router, go to the "System Tools" section, and in it, to the block for updating the software. See if the versions are the same.

   See what firmware is currently on your router

6. If the website version is higher, click on the download link. Open the downloaded archive. Extract the file with the ending bin from it.

   Retrieve bin file from the archive

7. Go back to the web shell. Click on the gray Select File button. In "Explorer" find and open the bin document that you got from the archive.

   Load setup file into the router shell

8. Click on "Update". Wait for the firmware to reinstall. Do not turn off the router, do not pull out the cables. When the update is complete, the router will reboot. Re-enter the web shell and proceed to configure it.

   Run the router firmware update

Configuring a TP-Link router on a new firmware version

Let's proceed to the most important thing - setting up the TP-Link router. Instructions are provided for new version firmware with a blue-white interface.

Some operators require binding by MAC address (a special unique number of a device) in order to assign specific devices to the user to access the Internet. Gadgets that are not included in the list will not receive a network signal. The quality of such devices can be a PC (if the connection is wired), a router, a TV, etc.

Ask your carrier's support if you need a binding, and if so, configure it on TP-Link:

1. Click on the third tab at the top " Additional settings».
2. In the "Security" section, expand the item for MAC addresses.

   Open the section "Binding by MAC address"

3. Put the toggle switch in the active position (it should turn green).

   Activate snapping with the toggle at the top

4. Click on the "Add" link above the first table.

   Enter the address of the device that you want to bind to the provider's network

5. Write down the MAC address of your router and its IP address. Click OK. Add other devices as needed, such as a PC.

Dynamic or static IP address

If you have a dynamic connection, you do not need to configure the connection. Just make sure that under the "Network" tab, the "Internet" section is set to "Dynamic IP".

If you have a dynamic IP, you don't need to configure anything in the shell

If your network works with a static IP address, do the following:

1. Select "Static" from the drop-down menu.

   Please select static type connectivity

2. Now enter all the data that is present in your agreement with the provider: IP, gateway, mask. Don't forget to include at least one DNS server as well. Do not change the MTU parameter. Click on "Save".

   Type in all the data provided by the operator

3. If necessary, configure the copy MAC address option if required by the operator. The default is usually sufficient. Save your changes.

   Enable MAC address cloning if needed

PPPoE connection

PPPoE protocol requires certain credentials for authorization on the Internet. They are individual for each subscriber - they are designed to protect against unauthorized use of the user's network. This protocol is supported by Dom.ru, Rostelecom, TTK and other providers. Let's move on to setting up:

1. In the drop-down panel, click on PPPoE.

   Set PPPoE as connection type

2. Drive your unique name on the network, and then the security key - all the information is available in your contract.

   Write your login and password from the network

3. Open advanced options. Here you can choose between static and dynamic IP addresses. If you additionally purchased a personal IP from your provider, set the value "Static" and enter all the data that the operator gave you (IP, gateway, address).

   Expand the Advanced Settings menu and select static or dynamic IP

4. If necessary, manually enter the DNS addresses. Before that, you need to check the item "Use the following DNS server addresses" - the editing of the items below will open.

   Be sure to save all changes after setup

5. Click on "Connect" and then on "Save".

L2TP and PPTP connection (VPN)

L2TP and PPTP connection types are both private VPNs. The first protocol is used, for example, by the Beeline operator. They have the same setting:

Wi-Fi setup

The main thing to change is the password for the access point. You need to get into your "Wi-Fi" was not so easy. Even if you don’t mind the speed and traffic, put the key anyway, because after Wi-Fi network attackers can gain access to files on your PC. Let's move on to setting up:

1. Expand the fourth menu "Wireless mode". In the first block with the settings, if necessary, change the name of your access point "Wi-Fi" (field for SSID).

   In "Wireless mode" change the name of Wi-Fi as desired

2. In the "Protection" panel, set the recommended value.

   Write a password that will work for your access point

3. Click on "Save".

DHCP server

The router forms a local network around itself, which includes all devices connected to the access point. The DHCP server on the router gives each new gadget a unique IP address - it works only in the local, and not in global network(internet).

How to set up a DHCP server on TP-Link:

How to set up IPTV

You will need the following instructions if you have connected the digital TV service with your operator:

Check the box to the left of "Enable IPTV"

Video: how to set up a TP-Link router

Since there is already a description of the steps for entering the settings of most common routers, even general instructions for entering the control panel, it makes sense not to ignore it by writing a separate instruction for high-quality and popular TP-Link devices.

We connect ourselves

A significant advantage of the devices of this company is that the process of gaining access to the control panel causes no more difficulties than on other routers, and is almost identical for any model of routers from this company (TL-WR841N, TL-WR741N, TL-WR940N, etc. .).

Do not be surprised that after purchasing a router, you need to enter the settings panel to install it yourself. Thanks to the article from this site, it is unlikely that there will be an opportunity to face difficulties in configuring routers. Indeed, despite the use of the services of a master when initial setup when you start using the router, you will probably need to make changes to some of them: changing the password on Wi-Fi, recovering a forgotten password I am, firmware update. The constant appeal to the master of convenience will not add, and the family budget will not save. After all, you can cope with everything on your own, and in case of difficulties, you can turn to the site for help.

Accessing the TP-Link settings panel

To enter the settings, you need to do the following:

• Let's connect to Wi-Fi router... This can be done either via a Wi-Fi network or using network cable... Although it is possible to enter the settings system using either a smartphone or a tablet, it is still recommended to use a laptop or PC.
• Using any web browser, depending on the type of router, go to one of the addresses:, or. You can see it on the bottom of the device.
• When prompted for a username and password in both columns, indicate “ admin»Or your own information, if you managed to change it.
• You have entered the settings panel.

Detailed description of connection to the device with illustrations

We use Wi-Fi, with a diagram of steps for connecting to it can be found here, or a cable for connecting to a router. Since your device is barely acquired, the name wireless network should be typical. Something like "TP-LINK_0919".

Also for connecting to a router (in the LAN-slot in yellow) and to a laptop or PC, in network adapter, you can use the cable provided with the router as shown in the photo below:

Then you need to launch a web browser on your PC of your choice. TP-Link has more than one IP option for entering the settings system, in the case of TP-LINK, to enter the control panel, you need to address bar browser write with a bunch of username and password admin | admin (standard in old models addresses are used 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) ... You can find it on a tag glued to the bottom of the device. This label displays information about IP, pattern password and login. Knowing this information will be beneficial in the future.

Then we jump to the address entered in the web search engine. In the window that opens, we fill in the standard username and password - " admin". If the template data has been changed, then you must enter the current one. If you need to use a standardized password and username, for example, cannot remember them, you may need to reset the router.

Figure 1: the router login address is http://tplinkwifi.net, the login is admin and the password is admin.

Tplinkwifi.net - login address Personal Area and settings for TP-Link routers. In fact, this is the interface for controlling the router, through which the connection to the local network and the Internet takes place. You can enter the same way as to sites from a browser: Firefox, Opera, IE, Safari and others. But, since you are here, then there was a problem and it was not possible to enter your personal account. We solve the problem with Windows settings, router and restore access to the network without calling the wizard.

The ability to go to the router settings at tplinkwifi.net was added a couple of years ago, starting with TP-Link router models: TL-WR720N, TL-WR741ND, TL-WR840N, WR841N, TL-WR940N, new TP-Link routers: C2, C7 , C20, C50 and older models. If the router supports this option, then the information is indicated on the sticker at the bottom of the equipment and in the instructions for use. The classic methods with the input of the address, 192.168.0.1 and. If you can't go to tplinkwifi.net, try doing.

If the login and password have not changed, then log in using the factory settings, admin and admin, respectively. For security reasons, it is better to change and write down the password.

Figure 3: above is the login address, below is the field for entering the login and password, by default: admin-admin.

Tplinkwifi login: tplinkwifi.net, login, password

If the process is performed correctly, then the screen will display the interface for managing the router. Login to the personal account of the modem was successful. But if it were so, you would not be here 😉

Do not go to tplinkwifi.net

The interface for entering your personal account does not open

We went to tplinkwifi.net, but did not get into the control panel of the personal account

The reason is the wrong login and password. The password was changed earlier. Execute full reset router to factory settings or remember the password to tplinkwifi.net, log in to your personal account first.

An offensive reason for the error is a breakdown of the router. The articles won't help here.

Learn more about Internet settings in IPv4. To avoid mistakes, remember the main thing, the settings in local connections are made to the router, and the settings for connecting to the provider are made in tplinkwifi.net. In the local connection, enter the address and DNS of the TP-Link router, not public DNS and IP provider! Changes are made along the path "Network Connections - Adapter Settings - Internet Protocol IP Version 4 (TCP / IPv4)". First, try getting the IP and DNS addresses automatically.

Set up your internet connection using the provider's parameters.

Video instructions for logging in via admin-admin

I could not resist the atmospheric video with the Indian. Fortunately, everything is clear from it.

Quite often, when submitting new material on the site pages about connecting one or another digital device to the home network, some readers have a question, how to enter the router settings? It would seem that there is nothing complicated in the procedure for logging into the administrative panel of a network device and nothing can be a stumbling block here. However, this question is asked with periodic precision, which indicates that it is open to a certain part of the site's audience. Friends! Regardless of the manufacturer of the network device, it is quite easy to find out the IP address and enter the settings of the router.

In short, it consists in combining network segments and sending data packets between them based on a special table according to the administrator's specified rules. That is, in our case, these are low-port network devices that connect home network with an Internet provider's channel (methods of connecting to a provider are described), and home users act as an administrator. You can enter the router settings both via LAN and Wi-Fi connection.

We configure the network card of the computer.

How to find the IP address of a router in Windows 7.

If for some reason you do not have the attached document and you do not have the necessary information on the sticker, then you can find out the data for entering the control panel through network connections. For example, for the operating room Windows systems 7, you can see the IP address of the network device in the following path:

Windows 7 - Start> Control Panel> Networks and Internet> Network and Sharing Center general access">" Changes to adapter parameters "> double-click on the" Local Area Connection "icon and in the window that opens, click on the" Details ... "button. In a new window in the line “ DNS server»The IP address of the connected router will be displayed.

In addition, you can determine the IP of the router through the command line. To do this, press the combination on the keyboard Windows keys+ R (free references on keyboard shortcuts) and in the Run window that opens, enter CMD command (command line), click the "OK" button.

Actually, after that, the command line will open, where you need to register the ipconfig command. Like this:

Now you have access to information about network connections in the local network. Find the line "Default gateway", it displays the IP address of the router. I have it 192.168.1.1. That's all. It remains to insert the received address into the browser line, authenticate, and configure the wireless network.

Unable to open the router settings page?

It may happen that while gaining access to the control panel, the browser will notify you with a message: "The page cannot be opened." Then it makes sense to go back to "Local Area Connections" and click on your network connection right click mouse, select "Status".

Here you need to click on the "Details" button and in the "Network Connection Information" window that opens, look in the line "Default gateway IP ...". If it looks like 192.168.0.1; 192.168.1.1 or similar, it means the DHCP server on the router is enabled and configured (IP for entering the network device).

At the same time, the string "IPv4 address" can contain an IP of this type 169.254.xx.xx (usually assigned by default if DHCP is not found), then you need to register a static IP in the "Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" settings.

Similar problems in the operation of a DHCP client on a computer may be due to firewalls (firewalls) ... However, there are other reasons as well. In general, you need to register an IP for a computer that falls within the range of IP address pools issued by a DHCP server on the router. Usually, by default, for TP-LINK routers, it is set in the range 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.199, and for ASUS 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254.

In the case of TP-LINK, it looks like this:

• IP - 192.168.1.101
• Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway - 192.168.1.1
• DNS - 192.168.1.1

In the case of ASUS, like this:

• IP - 192.168.1.7
• Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
• Default gateway - 192.168.1.1
• DNS - 192.168.1.1

Register, click "OK" and try again to enter the admin panel. I think the principle of assigning a static IP to a computer is clear to you. Experiment. Of course, such a phenomenon is extremely rare, but it is better for you to know about it. I wish to enter the router interface without any problems.
