When you purchase a TP link router, it comes with a set of default settings that may not be suitable for your specific needs. This can lead to frustration and confusion when trying to connect the device to your home network. However, you can change the default settings and create a custom setup to suit your needs.

The first step in connecting a TP link router is to login to its web-based interface. You need to have a computer, laptop, or tablet with a web browser to access the setup pages and make changes.

To log into the web-based interface, click ‘Login’ in the upper right corner of the screen and enter your administrative password. This is the password you set when you initially started the setup process. You should remember this password and use it to log into the TP link router again in the future.

Next, you need to select an Internet connection type and provide accurate information about your connection. The default choice is Dynamic IP, but you can also select Static IP or PPPoE if your ISP provides one of these. Alternatively, you can press Auto Detect and the router will detect your connection type for you.

Once you have chosen your internet connection type, a test will be run to ensure that your connection is up and working correctly. If the test fails, you will need to repeat the process and try a different Internet connection type.

If you have multiple devices connected to the router, it is important that they all share the same Internet connection type and are using the same Internet address. For this reason, the TP-Link router will display a message if any of the devices is using an incorrect internet address.

This can cause your devices to lose internet connectivity and you will need to reconnect them to the network. The TP-Link router will also show an error if you haven’t entered accurate information about your internet connection.

It’s a good idea to check with your ISP or TP-Link support team before beginning the setup to ensure that all of the cables are properly connected and that you have entered accurate information about your internet connection.

After that, you’ll need to configure the TP-Link router so that it is set up for wireless connections. This involves selecting the wireless network band, creating a SSID name, and setting a password. You can do this through the TP-Link web-based interface or through the Tether mobile app.

The Tether app is available for both Android and iOS. You can find it by searching “Tether TP-Link” in your app store.

If you are using the Tether app, it will connect your smartphone to the TP-Link wireless router and display the Wi-Fi name and password. This way, you can log into your TP-Link router from any computer or device in your home that has a wireless connection.

The Tether app is a free application that lets you control your TP-Link router from your phone. This can be especially useful if you want to use the TP-Link router’s features without having to connect it to a computer or laptop. You can also use the Tether app to access the TP-Link wireless router’s web-based interface and change settings.
