How to enter the router settings - Web management interface. Typical configuration of Tp-link routers Where are the settings of the tp link router

TP-LINK is one of the leading manufacturers of network equipment. We will provide detailed information on how to connect or reconfigure a TP-Link router. The procedure for connecting the device, setting up for a wired and wireless network, changing the password, and updating the firmware will be covered. The information received will allow you to easily configure your home network in TP-Link routers.

What data is needed to connect the router

To change the parameters of the router itself, you will need two things: a browser and a password with a login for access. The latest data can be found on the label attached to the body of the device. As a rule, the standard login and password is the English word admin.

To use the Internet, you will also need authorization data, which you must obtain from your provider. However, they must be spelled out in the contract for the provision of services. They must be entered in a router or a specialized program, if such is provided by the provider. Be sure to find out the type of connection (PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP, and others) for proper setup. When using dynamic IP, you need to know your IP address, subnet mask, and the like. If all these parameters are already in hand, you can connect TP-Link.

How to connect the device to a network, PC or laptop

The procedure does not cause great difficulties, while it is performed for 5-10 minutes. Follow the steps of the following instructions one by one:

Models with Wi-Fi can be configured "over the air". This is true if you do not have the opportunity to connect the router to the computer via LAN. This completes the wiring. Further, the process continues in the web interface.

Login to the web interface

Manipulations with the modem are performed only in the web interface. You can get into it from a computer with a network cable connected or via Wi-Fi on a wireless model. Attention! You can use the interface at any time, even when the Internet is not working. Follow the steps below to sign in:

Router settings

Let's move on to the most interesting thing - changing the parameters of the router. There are more than 10 different sections in the main window. Most of them are not needed by the average user. Internet activation occurs in a maximum of two sections. Next, we will describe in detail how to set up a TP-Link router, how to create a wired connection, set up Wi-Fi, change the login password and other useful things.

Connecting to a wired network

The router has a quick setup feature. Beginners are recommended to use this section. Click the "Next" button and follow the installer's prompts:

When setting up other types of connections, fields for entering a login and password will appear. Here you need to enter the data that the provider will give. The user can change the settings in the "Network" section. In some TP Link models, next to the choice of connection type, there is a "Define" button that will help you find out your type. Based on the WAN, the corresponding characteristics are already configured.

For example, to use PPPoE, fields for login/password and parameters specific to PPPoE already appear in the window.

Connecting via a wireless network

For devices with a Wi-Fi module, you will also need to set up a wireless connection. This can be done during quick setup (the penultimate paragraph involves the introduction of all important parameters).

Let's see what Wi-Fi settings on the TP-Link router should be changed. Broadcast should be set to "on". The SSID or network name is what will be displayed on other devices when searching. Specify your region, mixed mode. Leave the channel and its width automatically. Advanced users can choose it themselves, taking into account the busy channels of neighboring routers. If you want to put a password on the access point, select the WPA2-PSK security type. In conclusion, it remains to enter only the password from the wireless network point. Click the "Next" button and complete the process.

Similar settings are located in the "Wireless Mode" section. To change the SSID or channel settings, select the "Wireless Settings" sub-item. You can change the password in the "Wireless Security" item. For any changes, do not forget to click the "Save" button. If the selected options have not changed, reboot the machine.

Through these menu items, TP-Link routers are configured.

Changing the password for logging into the web interface

All owners are advised to change the standard password and login from the router. This is due to the fact that an attacker, in the absence of a Wi-Fi password or hacking it, will be able to enter the modem parameters and “have fun”. Eliminating the created problems is not difficult, but it is better to avoid this. The interface allows you to quickly and conveniently change the input data:

If you have forgotten your login information, perform a factory reset.

Advanced Settings

The router has a lot of additional features that expand its capabilities. Consider some of the advanced settings:

• Guest network. Allows you to configure a public guest network, limit incoming / outgoing traffic or work time.
• Address change. It allows you to set static IP addresses or use DHCP.
• Forwarding - setting up virtual addresses, web telephony, conferences and the like.
• Parental control features. Limit Internet access time or specific resources.
• Setting the routing table manually (for specialists).
• Binding MAC addresses to specific IPs.

You can learn more about how to configure the specific functions of the TP-Link router in the user manual.

VPN

This technology allows you to hide information from prying eyes. Encryption is performed, so even the provider will not be able to track your visits. However, only those models on which a VPN server is preinstalled can use VPN. You can perform setup by the following steps (for English firmware).

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

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 look at how the classic connection of the router to the Internet and PC / laptop is performed. Please note that if a LAN cable is not included in the kit (or it is of the wrong length), you will have to purchase it separately.

After you have chosen a place for placement (considering the presence of an outlet), follow these steps in the instructions:

1. Take the power supply and plug it into an outlet. Connect the wire plug to the power connector on the router (indicated 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 differing 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 several devices to the modem (only 4 for the router in the image).

Please note that on the computer's network card, the connector 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 log in. But this is an unlikely situation. The necessary information is on the label attached to the case. It is indicated by the Default Settings block. 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, print the IP indicated on the label of the router. Click Enter.
3. You will be taken to the authorization page. Here you should enter Username (as a rule, this is the word admin) and password.

If there is an input error, you will only receive a message that the input 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 connection settings).

Reset to factory settings

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

Hardware reset to factory settings is performed through a special button on the panel - RESET. It must be held for 10 seconds. The indicator of successful completion will be the simultaneous ignition and extinction of all LEDs on the front panel. Typically, the button is "pressed" into the case (so you don't accidentally press it), so use a paperclip, pen, or toothpick.

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

Resetting to factory settings is the easiest and fastest method to reset the router to factory settings, and then start the setup again.

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 in operation, you lost your login data to the web interface, you need to roll back the state to re-configure.

Possible login issues and solutions

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

• there is no connection with the device (cable, ports are damaged, drivers for the network card are not installed or the card is not working);
• automatic learning of IP addresses is not enabled;
• you are using the wrong login address;
• the router has a hardware failure, 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 official website of the manufacturer. The standard Windows update tool does not always find the latest versions.
• Set automatic acquisition of IP addresses.

The last item can be done through the interface of the Windows operating system. 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 via 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 is the most popular manufacturer of routers, routers and other network equipment. I myself have been using the device from this manufacturer for many years. Sooner or later, the question arises - how to enter the setup configuration of any TP-Link router.

You never know, you need to reflash, change the password for Wi-Fi or set more detailed settings - such as parental control for your family or blocking by MAC addresses. Everything is done very easily and you should not constantly call the wizard, since the interface of the device is simple and intuitive even for housewives. Let's analyze all the methods from connecting by wire to connecting wirelessly from your phone.

HELP! If you have any questions when starting the router or have any difficulties, then write about it below in the comments, and I will help you right away.

How to connect a laptop or PC to a router

Get a twisted pair cable. Usually it comes in a box from under the device. Plug one end into the router, into one of the LAN port connectors (they are yellow). And the second to the network card of the laptop or computer.

Login through laptop computer directly

If you did everything as in the chapter above, and the connection goes directly from the computer or laptop to the router via cable, then it remains just to launch the browser and enter the IP or DNS address in the address bar. Entering the router settings from TP-Link takes place at the following addresses:

• 192.168.1.1 - on newer models.
• 192.168.0.1 - on older devices.
• http://tplinkwifi.net or http://tplinklogin.net are more common login addresses for any TP-Link model.

• login- admin.
• password - admin or empty field.
• If you run it for the first time, then you will be asked to enter a new password for access, and then the setup will begin.
• If this router was provided by an ISP, the company name of that ISP can serve as the password. If this option does not work, then you need to call the technical support of the Internet provider and ask for the password there.

The standard login details are also located on the label under the router.

The TP-link router menu will differ depending on the firmware and device model.

Login from laptop via WiFi

If the device is fresh or has a standard configuration, we pass from step 1. If the wireless network is already configured and you can connect to it, we start from step 4.

1. The router should have a WPS button on the back. Or a similar Wi-Fi button with a wave logo. Hold it for 3 seconds and release.
2. Next, on the laptop, click on Wi-Fi in the lower right corner and select the new available network. If you have already connected to it before, then use your login and password to access the wifi. If you just started the router, then the password and network name are on the label.
3. If you are connecting using WPS technology, then when prompted for a PIN or password, press the WPS button on the router again.
4. Next, launch the browser and enter one of the options:
   1. 192.168.1.1
   2. 192.168.0.1
   3. http://tplinkwifi.net
   4. http://tplinklogin.net
5. Enter the data for authentication in the admin panel.

From a smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi

1. We launch Wi-Fi on Android or iOS.
2. Find a network and connect. If the router has already been reset to the factory configuration, the name of the wireless network will have the name of the router model.
3. If you do not see the Wi-Fi network of this device, then it means that it is not running. To start, press the WPS or Wi-Fi button on the device, and then try again to connect to the wireless network, which should already be available.
4. Login, password and standard name from the Wi-Fi network are indicated on the label under the router.
5. Next, launch the browser and enter the IP address of the router. Or you can configure the router through the dedicated smartphone software.

Phone software TP-Link Tether

ATTENTION! This program only supports a number of routers: TL-WDR 4300, TL-WDR 3600, Archer C7, TL-WDR3500 Archer C20, TL-WR941ND_V5, TL-WR940N_V2, Archer C9, TL-WR841N V9, Archer C5, TL-WR740N V5, Archer C2, TL-WR741ND V5, Archer C8, Archer C20i.

1. After connecting, download the software from Google Play or the App Store. To do this, in the search box, enter the name of the program without quotes - "TP-Link Tether". Or you can download from direct links:
   1. For Android OS
   2. For iPhone and iPad
2. Download and install.
3. We launch and act according to the instructions for installing the Internet and local network.

The standard IP address does not match

If the standard address of the router is not suitable, then most likely it was changed earlier. Somehow it happened to me - I changed the standard address and forgot which one. But don't worry, it's easy enough to recognize.

1. I launch the console. To do this, press start and enter "CMD" in the search bar. Double click on the application.
2. We enter - ipconfig and press Enter.

1. Scroll up a little and in the line "Main gateway" you will see the IP to enter the settings.

If the string is empty, then there is a problem in the connection between the two devices. You need to connect directly to the LAN port. If you are already connected directly, then check the integrity of the cable. One of the lights on the router should be blinking. The network card on the PC or laptop should also flash.

Password doesn't match

Forgetting your admin password is pretty easy. If you were engaged in the settings, then it is worth remembering the combination, maybe you wrote down this data somewhere - try to remember. As it was already written earlier, if the engineers from the provider were engaged in the configuration, then it is worth calling those. support or reset the router to factory configuration.

NOTE! But remember that after the reset, the Internet and Wi-Fi settings will have to be done again. But there is nothing wrong with that, our portal has all the available instructions for setting up all known routers - just enter the model name in the search box above and read the article.

1. We find the RESET button on the back of the device (it can be combined with WPS). The button may be recessed and look like a small hole, so you need a paperclip or a needle to activate.
2. Hold it down for 10-12 seconds until the router reboots.
3. After that, use the standard login details.

Doesn't work after factory reset

This is most likely due to the fact that the PC or laptop has a static IP address with a different subnet.

1. Left-click on the network connection in the tray.

1. Next, select "Network and Sharing Center".
2. Now click on the link "Change an adapter setting."
3. Right-click on an available and enabled connection and then go to "Properties".

1. Select the TCPv4 protocol and click "Properties".
2. In the upper field, set automatic IP detection. And in DNS, set the parameters as in the picture above: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
3. Click "OK", to apply the settings.

Still doesn't come in

In this case, the router may be broken. First of all, let's call the TP-Link technical support number:

• +7 495 2285560 - for Moscow and the Moscow region.
• 8 800 2505560 - you can call from any region of the Russian Federation, the call is free.
• +7 495 2285560 – for calls from Belarus.
• Settings and firmware of routers, modems, switches can be viewed on the official website.

If the phones are not available, then you can describe your problem in a letter and send it to the mail - [email protected]

Hello! In almost every article in which I write about configuring routers, or about solving some problems with wireless networks, I write about how to enter the control panel of the router to change some settings, etc. And to be honest, I'm already tired of constantly writing the same thing :). So I decided to write about it in a separate article. Yes, and there is nothing to write about here, but still, many people have problems with this.

On almost all routers, even from different companies, entering the settings is almost the same. But I will show on the example of TP-Link devices.

Let's first figure out how the router should be connected. Everyone (including myself) recommends connecting the router via a network cable to a computer or laptop at the time of setup. But, if you only want to make some settings, then you can connect wirelessly and even from a phone or tablet, nothing bad will happen.

Do not update the router firmware when connected via Wi-Fi! Only by network cable!

This is understandable. You must be connected to your network. By cable or Wi-Fi.

We go to the control panel

Open any browser. Internet Explorer is also possible, but Chrome, Opera, etc. are better.

Now attention! Take your router and look for a sticker on it that contains various information (model, version, etc.).

We need to look there. IP address(usually 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.1) and password login to access settings. If you have not changed them, then this is most likely admin and admin.

As you can see, I have IP: 192.168.1.1. So we type this address in the browser, in the address bar, and go to it.

A window should appear asking for a password and login.

Enter the username and password that are written on the router. Not to be confused with a password for a Wi-Fi network!

If you have already changed these data during the setup process, then most likely you will have to do a full reset so that the password and login are back to default.

After pressing the button Send we get into the settings. Depending on the model (firmware version) and manufacturer, they may differ.

If you have any problems, be sure to read this article - https://f1comp.ru/sovety/ne-zaxodit-v-nastrojki-routera/. In it, I tried to consider all the possible reasons due to which it is not possible to access the settings.

Here is such a small instruction, but I hope it is useful.

From the home network, etc. In order to enter the router settings, you must first find out the IP address of the router, which will also be discussed. Also, this instruction will help you log into the web interface of a modem, access point, and other similar network equipment from such popular manufacturers as D-Link, TP-Link, Asus, ZyXEL.

Are drivers needed?

No. Neither to configure nor use the router, you do not need to install any drivers anywhere. If there is a disc in the kit, then there will be only documentation. Drivers may be required for modems that connect to USB ports, but we are not talking about them now.

Default IP address, username and password

Now directly about how to "go into the router" (as modern users like to say). If the router is new, then it has factory settings. These settings are called "default" or default settings.Most manufacturers indicate the details directly on the router itself and designate them as Default settings: IP, username and password. Look for a sticker with this information on the bottom or back of the device:

If suddenly the sticker is missing or damaged for some reason, open the instructions and it will indicate what IP address, login and password your router has by default. Instructions are always included. It can be either on disk, or in the form of a paper brochure, or both.

Usually, by default, modern routers have the following settings:

IP address: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1

Username (username): In most cases admin

Password (password): admin either empty

To enter the router settings, you need to type in the address bar of the browser http://<ай-пи адрес>. For example:

http://192.168.1.1

Enter the IP address in the address bar to enter the router settings

If the address is correct, you will see a page asking you to enter your username and password.

D-Link DIR-300 router web interface login page

And this is how the authorization page of routers from TP-Link, the most popular in our latitudes, looks like:

Instead of an IP address, the sticker may contain a host (site name) for logging into the web interface. For example, http://tplinkwifi.net or my.keenetic.net. Enter it into any of your browsers and you will be automatically redirected to the configuration page.

How to find out the IP address of the router if the standard one does not fit

1. View the IP address in the properties of the network connection

Open "Network and Sharing Center"

Find your connection and click on the appropriate link

Click the "Details" button

In the window that opens, you will see the line:

IPv4 default gateway: 192.168.1.1

router IP address

The address specified in this line is the IP address of the router through which your computer accesses the Internet. Now you can write http://192.168.1.1 in the browser address bar, then enter your login and password and get into the router settings.

If you cannot connect to the router (it does not give you an IP address over the cable or you do not know the wireless network security key), then all you have to do is reset the router and configure it again: i.e. set your passwords and settings.

Read about how to reset your router.

2. View the IP address of the router in the network environment

Go to section Net.
In chapter Network infrastructure find your router. Select Properties:

On the tab network device the IP address of the device will be displayed, through which you can access its settings:

3. How to find out the IP address of the router using the command line

Enter command ipconfig and press Enter:

In the graph Main gate the IP address of the router, which you need, will be indicated. Now copy it, paste it into the address bar of your browser and press Enter. After that, you should see your router's settings web interface.

Most Common IP Addresses and Default Router Passwords

So, in this article, we have described in detail all the steps for setting up and now you can correctly connect the equipment, find the address of its web interface and go to the router settings. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
