Hello! Very often they ask how to connect a router? So they bought a router, brought it home, and how to connect it, and what to do with it further, so that it would distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi and cable. In this article, we will talk specifically about TP-Link routers. I’ll tell you in detail, and even take a photo on connecting TP-Link. Where and what cable to connect, how to connect the router to the provider, computer, modem, etc.
In fact, there is nothing complicated about this. You just need a little time and patience :) After buying any router, in our case this is a TP-Link device, it will have to be connected and configured correctly. If you connect incorrectly, then you will not be able to configure. The setup process itself is already a topic for another article, or for instructions on specific model. Well, in this article we will analyze in detail the connection process. router TP-Link.
The article is suitable for all models: TL-WR940N, TL-WR740N, TL-WR841N, TL-WR842ND, TL-WA701ND, TL-WR743ND, etc. I will show using the TL-MR3220 as an example. I would like to show how to connect (he's more popular), but now only the TL-MR3220 is at hand. Well, okay, they are practically no different.
Connecting a computer to TP-Link via a network cable
First of all, we need to connect the power adapter to the router. Just plug it into the POWER socket. You definitely won’t miss there 🙂 Well, plug it into the power grid. If the indicators on the router do not light up, then check if it has a power button on it, and it is turned off.
Further, if you set (and/or use cable internet) router from a computer? or laptop, then take network cable that comes with the router and connect one end of the cable to your computer's network card, and second in the LAN connector of the router. On TP-Link, LAN connectors are usually yellow and there are usually 4 of them.
We connect the TP-Link router to the Internet provider, or modem
Everything is clear here. What would the router be able to distribute the Internet (and this is his main task), it needs to be connected to the internet. Most likely, you have a regular network cable laid in your apartment, or you have Internet from an ADSL modem.
We need to connect cable from ISP to WAN connector TP link router. The WAN connector is usually blue. Or, connect a cable from the modem to the WAN connector (for connection, you can use the cable that comes with the router).
This one looks like this:
That's all, the Internet is connected, and you can start setting up the router. Go to your TP-Link settings (see) and configure the router. You can set up according to the instructions on the example. The setup will most likely be the same.
It may also be that immediately after connecting the router, the Internet will work on your computer and other devices that you connect. This is possible if your ISP uses the Dynamic IP connection type, or you have a modem connection. In any case, you will need and .
It seems like he didn't forget anything. As you can see, the instructions are simple and clear, everyone can connect. If something does not work out - write in the comments, we will figure it out.
TP-Link routers and modems are well-deservedly popular for their reliability, low cost and ease of management. The instruction is given on the example of the TD-W8960N model.
Before switching on
The main function of the router is to create a local wireless network that connects computers, laptops and mobile gadgets within the home / office. The second, no less important task is to connect this network to the Internet. Therefore, before turning on the router for the first time, it is advisable to have the connection settings with the provider at hand. Usually they are spelled out in the contract or in a separate instruction from the provider. If there are no settings, then when connecting, you need to call technical support and ask for this information.
Before switching on, you need to look at lower part Chassis: In TP-Link models, the following information is required to configure the router:
IP address: usually 192.168.1.1
Login: admin
Password: admin
If the values in your model are different, it is better to rewrite or remember them in advance.
Turning on the wireless modem for the first time
1. Connect the data cable of the Internet provider to the router. Usually this telephone cable(ADSL connection, “leased line”), or Ethernet wire (“fiber”, LAN). If the connection source is a 3G/4G modem, then you should connect it to the router's USB port.
2. Connect the router to the mains: TP-Link supplies a power cable in the kit.
Connecting to a router
If everything is in order, then after 20-60 seconds the router is completely ready for work. This time is needed to download the firmware. Indicators - LEDs on the front panel will help you find out about its performance. By the way, for TP Link routers, these “bulbs” glow with a soft, pleasant light, not annoying even in the dark. Indicators are equipped with icons or inscriptions. From left to right:
· Power indicator: should always be on when the device is turned on.
· Internet: shows the health of the Internet connection. Doesn't work when first turned on in online mode flickers or stays on.
ADSL or LAN; 3G, 4G for Beeline and others mobile operators: depending on the type of provider, indicates the presence of a signal from it. When you first turn it on, it may blink, or it may be off.
· WLAN (WiFi / Wireless): Access point indicator. Flickers or glows already at the first connection.
· WDS: not present on all models, responsible for expanding the coverage of the wireless network.
· There may be other "light bulbs" - USB port, QSS quick connection, 2-6 local network ports, etc. It is normal if these indicators are not lit yet. If the device is used as a repeater, then the light signaling may be different.
Connecting a PC to a wireless network
A smartphone / tablet is also suitable for setting up a TP-Link modem, but we will consider the good old connection from a PC or laptop. If the router is working, then it is already “distributing” the wireless network (or expanding its coverage area using WDS technology). It is called standard and boring - like TP-Link_15616, and is visible from any device. It works without a password and this needs to be changed as soon as possible.
Connecting the computer to new network Wi-Fi. Icon wireless connection in the Windows tray will be crossed out with a cross (or other icon of the missing Internet).
You can configure the TP-Link router through a browser. Enter 192.168.1.1 (without www) in its address bar: this is the router control panel. Remember - the IP address, plus - the login with the password are printed on the bottom of the case? So, instant authorization - and we are in the depths of the access point. If the ability to change the language is supported, then in the case of TP-Link, this can be done safely: the company is famous for its decent translation of its firmware.
All about wireless router settings
Step-by-step instructions - connecting to the Internet, setting a network password, advanced options: WDS, MAC addresses, connection encryption algorithms.
TP-Link control panel main page
On the home page(Device Info) nothing can be changed - this is a purely informational section. At the top, information about the firmware and version of the model, below - the current indicators of the access point and connection with the provider, as well as the date and time.
Attention! When the router is fully configured, all values in the Device Info table must be non-zero. If there are zeros somewhere (or values like 0.0.0.0) - something is wrong with the connection. True, the repeater-mode allows zero values.
How to connect a router to the Internet
Internet connection and configuration takes place in the Quick Setup section ( quick setup TP-Link router) of the side menu on the left. On other models, this section may be called WAN Settings / WAN Configurations (WAN settings).
How to connect a TP-Link router to the Internet: WAN and ADSL settings
In this section, it all comes down to driving in 2-5 connection parameters that are provided by the provider. In our example, this is:
connection method (WAN Link Type): PPPoE mode;
VPI/VCI values set to 0 and 33;
Login (PPP Username) and password (PPP Password) for authorization with the provider (not to be confused with the login-password of your personal wireless network!).
Each provider has its own settings: for Beeline they are one, for MTS they are different. Although they differ slightly, you should find them out with your Internet operator. In any case, to connect the router to the Internet, you will need to enter no more than a few values. When the router works as a repeater, it should not be configured to connect to the Internet. These parameters are needed only for the access point.
How to set up a wireless network
In the left side menu there is a Wireless section (“Wireless network”, Wi-Fi and other names). Us there.
Basic wireless settings section
Basic wireless options router TP-Link
Basic wireless parameters of the TP-Link router:
· Enable Wireless: Enable the wireless network. There must be a checkmark.
· Hide SSID Broadcast: hide the network name from the air. The unofficial name of the option is “paranoid mode”. With a correct password like 463sltjHe, it is impossible to hack the network, regardless of whether the repeater transmits its name or not.
· Wireless network name: The name of the wireless network. It’s better to use something personal to immediately distinguish your own network from your neighbors: The-Best-Wi-Fi, Aleksey’s Network, etc. Allowed English letters, numbers, spaces, but no Cyrillic.
· Country (country): optional parameter. For the router to work TP link setting country is not required. You can choose your region, you can forget.
The Apply/Save button (Apply and save) is standard for all sections - it must be pressed after configuration, before moving on to the next section. Attention! Before changing the network name, encryption type, password, WDS mode, etc., keep in mind: the computer's Wi-Fi connection will be disconnected. You just need to re-click on the connection icon in Windows and select the newly created network (enter New Password) for each device on the network. They don't connect on their own.
Security section - Wi-Fi security and password
Perhaps the most important section of the settings. The QSS parameter (for other routers it is more often called WPS) is responsible for quickly connecting new devices to your network at the touch of a button, without entering passwords. If we set up the network outside the home (in the office), then it is better to turn it off (disable).
· Network Authentication: protection type. Remember the word WEP - and never use it at all. Exclusively WPA, or WPA2 - no other values are suitable for a secure connection. Valid variants of the WPA type (Home or Enterprise) are also valid. However, there is an ancient belief: a person who does not encrypt his wireless network goes to heaven.
· The Open setting in network encryption means that outsiders random people can use your Internet, while they can have access to computers on the network. Use it only when you know exactly what you are doing. Even public networks WiFi with free access for a cafe / gym, it is now customary to protect with a password.
· Wireless Network Key: Enter the password for your own network. Do not confuse it with the password to connect to the provider. It is this password that will allow other devices to connect to the network. If the device is used as a repeater, then you do not need to set a password. Passwords like 111111, qwerty, Andrey, etc. sooner or later they will definitely be picked up by neighbors. Pick up complex password, with letters, numbers and special characters, at least 10-15 characters.
Old joke: best password computer scientist - the nickname of his pet. After all, a professional IT specialist always has a dog named like [email protected]!kw.
· Encryption algorithm (WPA Encryption). Both AES and AES-TKIP are equally good, there is no fundamental difference.
Advanced settings section (Advanced)
Advanced Wi-Fi settings. Helpful advances.
As a rule, advanced settings are not required for TP Link modems. Everything should work in default values.
2. Mode (mode): b / g / n / ac or their variations - bgn, bg, etc. In fact, generations Wi-Fi standard. You should choose the most recent connection mode in the settings, the bgn setting, or, if present, bgn + ac. The rest are needed only for rare cases of device incompatibility.
· Ancient and slow a and b-modes were hardly seen even by venerable specialists. Left for compatibility, they should not be used.
· Old mode "g": can be used if older devices categorically refuse to work with other modes.
Modern standard "n": the most common for most devices.
· Cutting-edge “ac” standard: not supported by all devices.
Rarely used settings
Other wireless sections of the TP-Link control panel are required only in special cases - for example, to connect to a VPN, so let's go over them briefly.
MAC Filter - filtering by MAC address. Allows only manually configured devices to connect to the network, and even then after entering a password. No outsiders. Not recommended for home use or for a small office where everyone is their own.
Setting up a VPN on a router: not possible on all models. This is a more advanced feature.
Wireless Bridge (WDS): the ability to use a Wi-Fi router as a “repeater” - a repeater of an existing one wifi signal. It is used to "extend" the range of another working and configured router. In other cases, you need to use the already configured AP mode (Access Point - access point mode).
Conclusion
Setting up a router is an easy task even for non-specialists, and very, very necessary. Having figured out the parameters once, you will no longer call the masters and tuners - the question is only 2-3 minutes of time.
There is no single instruction for configuring wireless network settings, but general principles the same for all models. Only small details differ: some devices use the terms Wireless, others Wi-Fi; latest models work with the “ac” communication standard, the older ones with b / g / n-networks. An example of setting up a TP-Link access point is suitable for ASUS devices, and D-Link, and others - only little things differ. Direct analogy: microwave ovens - the principle is the same, but the buttons are slightly different.
This instruction is suitable for configuring all Tp-link routers
Preparing a PC or Laptop for Setup
Before setting up the router, you need to prepare the computer. Open this page so that it is at your fingertips, because until you configure the router you will not have the Internet.
In our example, the operating Windows system 8.1. Windows 7 and windows 10 are configured in the same way.
There are two ways to set up your internet connection, they are slightly different at first. Let's see:
First way
1. Go to the Start menu. It is located at the bottom left on your computer.
2. Go to
3. Select "Network and Internet"
4. Go to "Network and Sharing Center"
Second way
1. Find the computer icon next to your watch, as in the picture 
2. Click on the icon with the left button and select "Network and Sharing Center" 
Further, the setting of the two methods is identical.
2. Right click mouse click on the icon "Connect via local network»
3. In the appeared context menu, at the very bottom, find "Properties" and click on them
4. You will see the "Local Area Connection - Properties" window. In this window, in the components, find "Internet Protocol version 4" and open it by double-clicking
5. In the "Properties - Internet Protocol version 4" window that opens, you need to put dots in the upper position "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" and then click "OK". If the dots are already in the up position, do nothing.
We have prepared a computer to configure the router. Now let's move on to setting up the router.
Setting up a router through a computer or laptop
After you have finished preparing the computer, you need to connect the router to the computer.
Connect the network cable to any yellow port, connect the other end of the cable to a computer or laptop. The cable for connection is in the box with the router. Look in the box: it is gray in color, 1-1.5 meters long with plugs on both ends. Plug the power supply into an outlet.
For now, we do not need to connect the Internet cable that comes to your apartment to the blue port of the router. We'll do it later.
We will configure the TP-link wr841n router via the web interface.
1. Launch your browser. A browser is a program through which you open websites. See the picture below for the most common browsers. Look for a similar icon on your desktop, there may be more than one. Choose any.
Turn the router over and see what address you need to enter to enter the router settings:
Now enter in the address bar of the browser: http://192.168.0.1/ or http://tplinklogin.net/ , depending on the information at the bottom of the router, and press "ENTER" on the keyboard.
Now enter "Username" and "Password". They are also at the bottom of the router, see the picture above: "Username" is username, and "Password" is password. Default "Username": admin; "Password": admin.
2. You are inside the router. Let's start setting up. From the menu on the left, select "Network" and then "WAN". Here are the main Internet settings. Click on the arrow to the right of "Dynamic IP" and select "Static IP".
3. Fill in 5 fields of network details: IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway and two DNS servers. Network details are in your contract on the first page in Appendix A to the contract, see the table. You can also call technical support and get network details from our employees. After making the settings, click "Save".
4.Now set up wireless connection so you can surf the internet through your phone, tablet or laptop.
In the menu on the left go to " Wireless mode» → «Wireless Setting»
In the "Network Name" field, write the name of your WIFI. It can be anything: Anton_wifi, TP-link12414, fawgwagag. The main thing is that you know the name of your network.
In the "Channel" field, set the auto mode. This is usually the optimal mode. In some situations, your devices will disconnect from WIFI in auto mode, in which case you will have to force the WIFI channel. Try to set any channel from 8 to 11, they are usually the least loaded.
5. To ensure that no one except you can connect to the router, WIFI must be protected. To do this, in the "Wireless Mode" menu, find "Wireless Security"
By default, the WPA / WPA2 mode is selected in the router, let's dwell on it. Leave "Version" and "Encryption" unchanged.
Enter a password in the Wireless Password field. Use lower case passwords and capital letters, numbers and signs, so safer. For example: FahqyAR245. If you forget your password, you can always look it up in the router settings. Scroll down the page and click "Save".
6. Almost everything. Now go to "DHCP" → "Setting DHCP" and register two DNS servers: 10.10.0.100 and 10.10.0.20. This will slightly speed up the operation of devices when working via WIFI. Click "Save"
7. Now everything is for sure. AT " System Tools» Select Reboot. Click on the "Reboot" button, wait for the process to complete.
Log in to the router again to check. AT address bar browser, enter: http://192.168.0.1/ or http://tplinklogin.net/ , depending on the information at the bottom of the router, and click " ENTER".
Then enter the “Username” and “Password” that you entered at the beginning of the setup.
Check the settings against your contract. The settings in the picture have been removed so as not to confuse you.
In our homes there are more and more more devices who have access to the internet.
Computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, Wi-Fi printers, and even TVs, but in order to take full advantage of their capabilities, they must have access to the Internet.
For this reason, in most homes, it is necessary to install a router to provide wireless communication for the internet.
One of the most popular manufacturers of such equipment is the TP-LINK router.
There are a lot of such routers on sale today. Here are the most popular ones today:
Tp link tl wr841n, wr740n, tp link td 786, wr741nd, wr840n, wr940n, w8901n, wr841nd, tp link wr842nd, w8151n, mr3420, wr941nd, w8951nd, tp link td w8961n, w8960n, tp link archer c20, w8968, wr741nd, mr3220, wr842n, wr340gd, mr3020, tp link аист, wr1045nd, w8950n, mr3420, wr743nd, ac750, wr1042nd, tp link archer c2, wa701nd, wr1043nd, wa801nd, wr942n, td854w, wa801nd, wr340g, w9970, adsl2, n150, n600 , w8951, dir 615, wa901nd, dir 320, w8101g, n750, dsl 2740u, wn722n.
As you can see, there are many of them, but the settings are almost the same. Therefore, I will not stop, but will write a step-by-step instruction that is general for everyone, so that you can independently, correctly connect and configure your tp link router on a computer or laptop.
NOTE: from windows version: windows 7, windows 8, windows 8, windows 10, windows 8.1 does not depend on anything, as well as on the operator (except if password protection, name and others are provided), whether for Rostelecom, Beeline Kyivstar, Ukrtelecom, Dom ru , Ufanet, Luganet, Will and so on.
It’s easiest to set up the router mode yourself or yourself if a disk is attached, but you can do it without a disk manually and even without the Internet, only if there is no Internet, then you won’t need a router, because its task is to distribute the Internet via wifi.
Usually you only need to set up a new one, but there are times when you get lost, then you need to set up wifi in a new way, and in some cases, reflash it.
I will use the configuration of the cheapest and most popular TP-LINK routers on the CIS market.
Instructions step by step in Russian how to set up a TP-LINK router to distribute wifi
Turn on the adapter first alternating current supplied with the router and connect the power.
Press the big black button - some LEDs on the router panel should light up.
You will also need two cables: one for the internet (connected to the router) and the other must be connected to the computer/laptop.
These cables (commonly referred to as "twisted pair") terminate in a distinctive connector and are visible in the picture.
Connect the cable connected to the computer to the blue connector on the back of the router.
Connect one end of the cable that comes with the router to the yellow socket with number 1 on the router, and the other end is connected to the computer instead of the disconnected cable Internet.
Step two in setting up a TP-LINK router via cable
Launch a browser (for example, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc.) and in the address bar type: 192.168.0.1 and then press ENTER.
You should see a window asking you to enter your username and password. Enter "admin" in both fields and click "OK".
You should see the router's configuration page. By clicking LMB on the “Quick Setup” option (you can quickly set it up this way, and if you are not in Russian, then click - Quick Setup).
The tab will change. Choose your location and provider. If you do not find your Internet provider in the list, put a bird in front of the line: “I did not find suitable settings” and click “Next”.
Step three in setting up a TP-LINK router without a disk
Here you may need a provider to find out which item to choose. If the settings are automatic, select the first item and click next.
All these settings can only be obtained from the Internet provider (for example, I choose the first item).
Now you have to specify or not specify the mac address, which also depends on the provider. In general, the mas address is unnecessary, it is assigned only to prohibit unauthorized access to the Internet.
If you need to specify a provider, they will tell you which one. Write it down and click next again. I don't provide an example.
Step Four in Configuring a TP-LINK Router to Distribute WIFI
Click on the menu on the left on the line: "Wireless mode", enter the name of the network (any) and wifi mode(see picture).
The first time you connect your device to a wireless wifi networks in your home, you will need to enter this password (it will be stored in the device later on and you will not need to enter it).
The password must be at least 8 characters long. After clicking the "Next" button, the last mode of the Quick Settings window will appear.
After pressing the "reboot" button, the router will reboot - wait until the page refreshes itself.
After the reboot, the device is ready to go - check that the Internet is working - to do this, open any web page.
Of course, only general settings are provided here, we can say the most common settings (basic).
Sometimes you need to specify a few more settings, but they are known only to the ISP.
If you can’t set up your TP-LINK router on your own, then in the comments I can only suggest basic settings e.g. speed, ports and so on, but some ISPs (especially well-known ones) set powerful protection so that their Internet is not "stealed".
These data are known only to them. Then call and ask. Usually they will guide you through all the settings, even over the phone, and I say goodbye and wish you success.
Category: UncategorizedOur article today is for those who are going to purchase or have already bought a Tp-link TL-WR841N router. We will take a step-by-step look at the entire setup of this router - connection settings, wireless network, a security key on Wi-Fi, accompanying the process with photographs for clarity. Also, all the settings described here are suitable for the TL-WR841ND model. Therefore, if you follow our instructions, setting up your new router will only take you a few minutes.
This is a successful and therefore quite common router model among users, the quality of which fully justifies the price. In my opinion, this is an ideal option for organizing home networks, which will cover all their needs. My copy has been running for more than three years, distributing the Internet to many devices over Wi-Fi, and during this time I do not remember interruptions in the Internet due to its fault. On the this page there is my review of Tp-link TL-WR841N and feedback on its work.
So, the router is already in front of you, it's time to start setting up. Here is a list of the configuration steps we will have to go through:
- Connecting a router to a computer.
- Setting up Internet access.
- Setting up a Wi-Fi network on TL-WR841N.
- The security key (password) of the Wi-Fi network.
- Change the administrator password.
The power cable is plugged into a suitable connector on the router and, of course, into a power outlet. Next to it there is an on / off button - it also needs to be switched to the on state. You will be told about the successful inclusion LED indicators lit up on the front panel.
You can connect the router to a computer for configuration in two ways. If it is located near the computer, it is best to do this with a lan cable.
One end is plugged into a socket. network board computer, the second - to the subscriber port of the router (yellow ports, signed as LAN).
Accordingly, the blue connector (WAN) is intended to receive settings from the provider. We will include in it the cable coming from the transmitting equipment or your modem.
The second way is to connect your devices via Wi-Fi. It happens that it is not possible to connect to the router with a cable - whether it is a damaged network card, remote friend the location of the two devices apart or other reasons. Or maybe someone doesn’t have a computer at all - then you can carry out the setup process using a tablet or smartphone connected to the router via Wi-Fi.
Usually, the Tp-link TL-WR841N router comes with a disk with a pre-selected configuration for configuration. In this case, we will not need it - our task is to learn how to configure the router through its management interface.
So, we check: your router must be connected to a computer (or other device) using any of the methods described above, and a cord coming from the provider's equipment is inserted into the WAN port. Now you can start setting up.
Setting up Internet access on a Tp-link TL-WR841N router
To go to the management interface of the router, you need to go to the browser on the computer (another device from which you are setting up) and type in the address field 192.168.1.1 . You will then see an admin password prompt - default values admin/admin. In case one of the above did not work for you - here.
And when the settings page opens, you can immediately. This is optional - that is, you can upgrade at any other time or not at all.
If asettings at 192.168.1.1 will not open, orthe admin password will not work, or the settings you made are unsuccessful - resetting the router to default settings will help you. Between the antenna mount and the fourth subscriber port of the router is a recessed Reset button. With the power still on, press down on it with a pen/needle or something else sharp and hold it for about ten seconds. When all the indicators go out and light up, the router is reset, you can release the button and start the setup process again.
The first thing we need to do is to enable the router to connect to the provider's equipment and get from it the settings needed to access the Internet. Without this, further configuration will be meaningless.
On the control page, select the menu network — WAN. A list will appear WAN Connection Type, in which you specify the type of connection. You can find out from the provider's support which one you need: Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP. If this is a dynamic IP, then this choice - after saving by clicking the button Save the router will go online.
If your provider gives you one of the PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP or static IP options, you will need to enter the necessary data - IP address, gateway and DNS addresses, username, password - it all depends on the specific type of connection. You can also get this information from technical support or find it in your contract for the provision of Internet services.
If you have previously used any high speed connection to access the Internet - you can safely delete it. Now this function will pass to the router, and you will no longer need to manually establish a connection.
In addition, the provider can bind your end devices to account by MAC address. You can also check this with a support person. If the binding exists, you can tell the employee the MAC of your router, indicated on the sticker on its bottom panel. Another option is to clone the MAC network card to the router (menu Network - MAC clone) or change it manually on the router.
This configuration step ends when your router gains access to the Internet. If everything worked out, save the settings with the button Save and move on to the next step. And in case this configuration step was unsuccessful, we recommend the instructions: When setting up the router, it says “Without access to the Internet”, or “Limited”.
WiFi network setup and security key protection
For settings WiFi networks we need to go to the menu Wireless — Wireless Settings. Here in line Wireless Network Name enter the name of the network by which devices trying to connect will search for it. Below is the drop down list region, in which you need to select your country of residence. All of the following settings on this screen can be left unchanged.
Save the settings again Save.
To protect your network from unnecessary connections, we recommend setting up a security key (password). Go to the menu Wireless — Wireless Security. Put a label next to the line WPA/WPA2-Personal(Recommended). AT PSK Password enter the password, which will now be requested from each device trying to access your router's network. Also, installing a Wi-Fi security key is described in detail in this article.
Once a password has been created and assigned, save immediately by pressing Save.
Changing the administrator password
We already had a post on how to change default password admin, giving access to the management page of the Tp-link TL-WR841N router. Now, while we are still on the management page, you can immediately change this password. This function is needed so that any user working through your network cannot log into the router and make any changes without your knowledge.
It's on the menu System Tools — Password. You will be prompted to enter your existing authorization data, and then a new admin login and password. It is allowed to keep the name admin unchanged, and come up with a new password and write it down somewhere in an inaccessible place so that you do not forget it, and someone else does not recognize it. These settings are also saved with the button Save.
This completes the configuration of the Tp-link TL-WR841N router. Now all that remains is to reboot it so that it can receive the settings from the provider. Reboot is done through the menu System Tools - Reboot, or by simply turning off the power for a few seconds.
After the reboot, the wireless network is activated. To connect to it, use the network name and security key assigned earlier in the setup process. Even if you configured the router, for example, from a laptop by connecting it via a lan cable, now you can remove the cable and connect to the network via wifi.
We sincerely hope that you did not encounter difficulties when setting up Internet access, but if this still happened, here are our publications on this topic: “No Internet access” in Windows 7 and “Connection is limited” in Windows 10.
