135 • Use another web browser or computer to log in again. • Reset the router to factory default settings and try again. If login still fails, please contact the technical support. Note: You’ll need to reconfigure the router to surf the internet once the router is reset. Q4 What should I do if I can’t access the internet even though the configuration is finished? 1 Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 2 Go to Advanced> Network > Status to check internet status: If IP Address is a valid one, please try the methods below and try again: • Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. Please manually configure the DNS server. 1 ) Go to Advanced > Network > DHCP Server. 2 ) Enter 8.8.8.8 as Primary DNS, click S AV E. Tips: 8.8.8.8 is a safe and public DNS server operated by Google. 136 • Restart the modem and the router. 1 ) Power off your modem and router, 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. 3 ) Power on the router. 4 ) Wait another 1 or 2 minutes and check the internet access. • Reset the router to factory default settings and reconfigure the router. • Upgrade the firmware of the router. • Check the TCP/IP settings on the particular device if all other devices can get internet from the router. As the picture below shows, if the IP Address is 0 0 0 0, please try the methods below and try again: • Make sure the physical connection between the router and the modem is proper. • Clone the MAC address of your computer. 137 1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 2 ) Go to Internet or Advanced > Network > Internet and focus on the MAC Clone section. 3 ) Choose an option as needed (enter the MAC address if Use Custom MAC Address is selected), and click S AV E. Tips: • Some ISP will register the MAC address of your computer when you access the internet for the first time through their Cable modem, if you add a router into your network to share your internet connection, the ISP will not accept it as the MAC address is changed, so we need to clone your computer’s MAC address to the router. • The MAC addresses of a computer in wired connection and wireless connection are different. • Modify the LAN IP address of the router. 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. To resolve this problem, we need to change the LAN IP address of the router to avoid such conflict, for example, 192.168.2.1. 1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 2 ) Go to Advanced > Network > LAN. 3 ) Modify the LAN IP address as the follow picture shows. Here we take 192.168.2.1 as an example. 4 ) Click S AV E. • Restart the modem and the router. 138 1 ) Power off your modem and router, and leave them off for 1 minute. 2 ) Power on your modem first, and wait about 2 minutes until it get a solid cable or Internet light. 3 ) Power on the router. 4 ) Wait another 1 or 2 minutes and check the internet access. • Double check the internet connection type. 1 ) Confirm your internet connection type, which can be learned from the ISP. 2 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 3 ) Go to Advanced > Network > Internet. 4 ) Select your Internet Connection Type and fill in other parameters. 5 ) Click S AV E. 6 ) Restart the modem and the router again. • Please upgrade the firmware of the router. 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 can’t 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. You can refer to the relevant document or contact the laptop manufacturer. 139 • Make sure the wireless adapter driver is installed successfully and the wireless adapter is enabled. • On Windows 7 1 ) If you see the message No connections are available, it is usually because the wireless function is disabled or blocked somehow. 2 ) Click Troubleshoot and windows might be able to fix the problem by itself. • On Windows XP 1 ) If you see the message Windows cannot configure this wireless connection, this is usually because windows configuration utility is disabled or you are running another wireless configuration tool to connect the wireless. 2 ) Exit the wireless configuration tool (the TP-Link Utility, for example). 3 ) Select and right click on My Computer on desktop, select Manage to open Computer Management window. 4 ) Expand Services and Applications > Services, find and locate Wireless Zero Configuration in the Services list on the right side. 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 router/modem. • Make sure your computer/device is still in the range of your router/modem. Move it closer if it is currently too far away. • Go to Wireless or Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings, and check the wireless settings. Double check your wireless Network Name and SSID is not hided. If you can find your wireless network but fail to connect, please follow the steps below: • Authenticating problem/password mismatch: 1 ) Sometimes you will be asked to type in a PIN number when you connect to the wireless network f…
