A router is a convenient solution for building a local and wireless network, allowing you to simultaneously access the Internet from several devices. However, to configure the router, you first need to install it correctly and go to the web interface, where the basic parameters of the equipment are indicated.
Connecting equipment
Before you go into the router settings, you need to install the equipment correctly. You will need:
- Router.
- Network cable.
- Network card on a computer.
Any user can handle installing a router - the main thing is to carefully inspect the ports and figure out what they are needed for. Explanatory inscriptions and different colors of connectors will help with this.
- The cable that the provider brought into the room is inserted into the WAN/Line/Internet port (usually it is blue).
- A network cable, which comes with the router, is installed in one of the LAN ports (mostly yellow). The second end of the patch cord is connected to the computer's network card.
- The power cable is installed in the appropriate connector.
Once all the wires are in place, press the power button. If everything is done correctly, several indicators on the router will light up: power, network connection and connection to the computer.
Setting up a router in the system
To open the router interface, you need to configure a network connection. Usually the necessary parameters are set automatically, but it would be a good idea to check that they are correct.
These are standard settings that allow the router to independently assign an address to the connected device (computer in this case) using a DHCP server.
Login to the interface
After connecting and configuring the equipment, you can proceed to resolving the issue of how to log into the router. On almost all routers, the interface address, login and password are indicated on a label located on the bottom of the device. 
If there is no sticker, then you can see the address for displaying the router’s web interface in the browser using software tools:
- Open Network and Sharing Center.
- Proceed to change adapter settings.
- Double-click the Local Area Connection icon.
- Click Details and look at the Default Gateway value.
If you changed your login and password yourself, but cannot remember the new values, then use the Reset button on the router to reset its settings to factory settings. After resetting the settings, the identification data will become standard - admin/admin.
It is not necessary to look at the router address. Most manufacturers use the same address, so the procedure for launching the interface of different router models is not very different.
For example, TP-Link and D-Link routers use the IP address 192.168.0.1. After entering this value, an authorization window appears in the address bar of the browser; you need to enter your login and password in it. For some models of D-Link Dir routers, you only need to specify a login; the password line can be left blank. 
Asus and Netgear routers have the default address 192.168.1.1. The login and password are also usually standard – admin/admin. But there may be options: for example, for the NETGEAR WGR614 router the login will be “admin” and the password will be “password”.
For Huawei routers, the login information is slightly different from the usual values. The address to enter the interface is 192.168.100.1. The login and password are also not quite standard - root and admin, respectively. Some models have even more complex pairs for authorization. 
Zyxel Keenetic routers have an easy-to-remember address my.keenetic.net. As an alternative, the standard address 192.168.1.1 is used. The login will be the word “admin”, and the password with standard settings will be 1234.
It seems like you can get confused, but in reality everything is simple. In 90% of cases the address will be 192.168.0.1. or 192.168.1.1, and the pair for authorization is admin/admin. If these values do not allow you to open the web interface, then read the instructions carefully - the address, login and password are always indicated there.
Possible login errors
If you cannot enter the router settings using automatic settings, then try setting the login parameters manually using the router’s IP address.
Knowing the router's IP address, you can manually specify the TCP/IPv4 protocol parameters:
To understand what values need to be specified, let’s take the router’s IP address - for example, 192.168.0.1. Based on this address, fill in the lines as follows:
- IP address – 192.168.0.2 (last digit must be in the range from 2 to 254).
- Subnet mask – 255.255.255.0 (always remains the same).
- The main gateway is 192.168.0.1 (the router address is indicated here).
- The preferred DNS is 192.168.0.1 (the router address is also written down).
With these settings, the problem of launching the router's web interface through a browser should be resolved. Then all you have to do is set up the Internet and create a wireless connection so that the Wi-Fi router begins to perform its functions of providing constant access to the network from different devices.
Figure 1: login address to the router http://tplinkwifi.net, login admin and password admin.
Tplinkwifi.net is the address for logging into your personal account and setting up TP-Link routers. Essentially, this is the router management interface through which the connection to the local network and the Internet occurs. You can log in just like you do on websites from a browser: Firefox, Opera, IE, Safari and others. But, since you are here, it means there was a problem and you couldn’t log into your personal account. We solve the problem with Windows settings, the router and restore access to the network without calling a wizard.
The ability to go into 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 of entering the address, 192.168.0.1 and . If you can’t go to tplinkwifi.net, try doing this.
If the login and password have not been changed, then log in using the factory settings, admin and admin, respectively. For security reasons, it is better to change the password and write it down 
Figure 3: the login address is indicated at the top, the field for entering login and password is at the bottom, default: admin-admin.
Login to tplinkwifi: tplinkwifi.net, login, password
If the process is completed correctly, the router management interface will appear on the screen. Login to the modem’s personal account was successful. But if it were so, you wouldn’t be here 😉
Can't access tplinkwifi.net
The interface for logging into your personal account does not open
We went to tplinkwifi.net, but did not get into the personal account control panel
The reason is incorrect login and access password. The password has been changed before. Completely reset the router to factory settings or remember the password to tplinkwifi.net, log in to your personal account first.
The annoying reason for the error is a broken router. Articles won't help here.
Read more about Internet settings in IPv4. To avoid mistakes, remember the main thing: settings for local connections are made to the router, and settings for connecting to the provider are made in tplinkwifi.net. In the local connection, specify the address and DNS of the TP-Link router, and not the public DNS and IP of the provider! Changes are made along the path “Network connections - adapter settings - Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)”. First, try automatically obtaining IP and DNS addresses.
Set up your Internet connection using your provider settings.

Setting up TP-link - Option 2
1. Preliminary data.
Before directly connecting and setting up the router, you must go to your Personal Account and write down your current "MAC address".
Please note that the MAC address can only contain the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the letters of the Latin alphabet a, b, c, d, e, f
2. Correct connection.
There are five connectors on the back of the router. Four of them are signed LAN, one is WAN (Internet). For proper operation of the device, you need to connect an Internet cable to the WAN port, and with another wire connect one of the LAN ports to the connector of the network card of your computer, from which subsequent configuration will be carried out.
3. Enter the router settings.
We launch any browser, where we enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar (the option http://192.168.0.1 is possible) and press the key "Enter". In the window that appears, in the fields "User Name" And "Password" enter admin and press the key "OK"
4. Connection setup.
You must select a section "Network", Further "WAN".
In the window that opens, fill in the fields:
WAN Connection Type: PPPoE/Russia PPPoE;
User Name: Your LDS user login;
Password: Your password;
WAN Connection mode: Check the Connect Automatically checkbox.
And finally, save the settings "Save".
After that we go to "MAS Clone" and press the button "Clone MAC Address".
If an address appears in the MAC Address field that does not match what you wrote down from your statistics, correct it manually.
We complete the setup with the button "Save".
5. Configuring Wi-Fi connection parameters.
Now let's set up a WiFi connection. Select the “Wireless” item, and then click the “Wireless Settings” button.
Fill in the fields:
Wireless Network Name: Let's come up with a name for the WiFi network;
Region: Ukraine;
Channel: Auto;
And press the button "Save". Then we move on to "Wireless Security"
Fill in the fields:
Checkbox WPA/WPA2 - Personal
Version: Automatic
Encryption: AES
PSK Password: Wi-Fi password
And to complete the settings, press the button "Save".
6.Software download.
Updating the router software is not a mandatory procedure for setting it up, but it is advisable to perform this procedure, because otherwise, correct operation is not guaranteed. A software update can solve problems with previous software versions and improve the current operation of the device.
Before you start updating, you need to determine the hardware version (revision) of the router and download the software from the manufacturer’s website. To do this, look at the bottom of the router case, where we look for the line H/W Ver.:
Go to https://www.tp-link.com/ru/download-center.html. and select the model of your router. In the page that opens, select the hardware version of the router (Ver.) in accordance with the revision of your router.
If there is a current software version for this model, the option will appear "Firmware", in the section of which you can download the archive we are interested in.
In this example, the software file will be archived (zip). After extracting from the archive, we get a file with the extension bin.
7.Software update.
We log in to manage the router, in the window that opens, go to the section "System Tools", then click "Firmware Upgrade". In a new window using a copy "review" we find the file with the software that was previously downloaded, and then click "Upgrade". After updating the software, the router will automatically reboot.
Do not unplug the power cord during the update.
TP-Link routers and modems are deservedly popular for their reliability, low cost and ease of management. The instructions are given using the TD-W8960N model as an example.
Before turning 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 connecting 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. They are usually specified in the contract or in separate instructions from the provider. If there are no settings, then when connecting you need to call technical support and ask for this information.
Before turning it on, you need to look at the bottom of the case: in TP-Link models, the following information is needed 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 from your Internet provider to the router. Typically this is a telephone cable (ADSL connection, “leased line”), or an Ethernet wire (“fiber optic”, 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 power supply: TP-Link supplies a power cable included.
Connecting to a router
If everything is in order, then after 20-60 seconds the router is completely ready for use. 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, on TP Link routers these “lights” glow with a soft, pleasant light, without irritating even in the dark. Indicators are equipped with icons or inscriptions. From left to right:
· Power indicator: When the device is turned on, it should always be on.
· Internet: shows the functionality of the Internet connection. Doesn't work when first turned on; in online mode it flickers or lights up constantly.
· ADSL or LAN; 3G, 4G for Beeline and other mobile operators: depending on the type of provider, shows the presence of a signal from it. When you turn it on for the first time, it may blink, or it may be off.
· WLAN (WiFi/Wireless): access point indicator. Flickers or lights up when first connected.
· WDS: not present on all models, it is responsible for expanding wireless network coverage.
· Other “light bulbs” may be present - USB port, QSS fast 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, 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.
We connect the computer to the new Wi-Fi network. The wireless connection icon in the Windows tray will be crossed out with a cross (or another icon of missing Internet).
You can configure your TP-Link router through a browser. We enter 192.168.1.1 (without www) into its address bar: this is the router’s control panel. Remember - the IP address, plus the login and password are printed on the bottom of the case? So, instant authorization - and we are in the depths of the access point. If it is possible to change the language, then in the case of TP-Link you can do this with confidence: the company is famous for its decent translation of its firmware.
Everything about wireless router settings
Step-by-step instructions - connecting to the Internet, setting a network password, advanced parameters: WDS, MAC addresses, connection encryption algorithms.
TP-Link control panel home page
You cannot change anything on the main page (Device Info) - this is a purely informational section. At the top there is information about the firmware and model version, below are 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 should have non-zero values. If there are zeros anywhere (or values like 0.0.0.0), there is something wrong with the connection. True, the repeater mode allows zero values.
How to connect a router to the Internet
Connecting and setting up the Internet occurs in the Quick Setup section of the side menu on the left. In other models, this section may be called WAN Settings / WAN Configurations.
How to connect a TP-Link router to the Internet: WAN and ADSL settings
In this section, it all comes down to entering 2-5 connection parameters that are provided by the provider. In our example it 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 check 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 is working 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). Let's go there.
Basic wireless settings section
Basic wireless parameters of the TP-Link router
Basic wireless parameters of the TP-Link router:
· Enable Wireless: Enable the wireless network. There should be a check mark.
· 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 relay transmits its name or not.
· Wireless network name: name of the wireless network. It’s better to use something personal to immediately distinguish your own network from neighboring ones: The-Best-Wi-Fi, Aleksey’s Network, etc. English letters, numbers, spaces are acceptable, but no Cyrillic.
· Country: optional. The TP-Link router does not require country setting to operate. You can choose your region, or you can forget.
The Apply/Save button is standard for all sections - it must be clicked after setting, before moving to the next section. Attention! Before changing the network name, encryption type, password, WDS mode, etc., keep in mind: the computer’s connection to Wi-Fi will be interrupted. You just need to re-click on the connection icon in Windows and select the newly created network (enter a new password) for each device on the network. They do not connect on their own.
Security section – Wi-Fi security and password
Perhaps the most important section of the settings. The QSS parameter (more often called WPS on other routers) is responsible for quickly connecting new devices to your network at the touch of a button, without entering passwords. If we are setting up a network outside the home (in the office), then it is better to turn it off (disable).
· Network Authentication: security type. Remember the word WEP - and never use it at all. Exclusively WPA, or WPA2 - no other values are suitable for a secure connection. WPA type variations (Home or Enterprise) are also acceptable. However, there is an ancient belief: a person who does not encrypt his wireless network goes to heaven.
· Configuring Open in network encryption means that your Internet can be used by random strangers, and they can have access to computers on the network. Use it only when you know exactly what you are doing. Even public Wi-Fi networks with free access for cafes/gyms are now commonly protected with a password.
· Wireless Network Key: Enter your own network password. Do not confuse it with the password for connecting to your 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 their neighbors. Choose a complex password, with letters, numbers and special characters, at least 10-15 characters.
An old joke: a computer geek's best password is the name of his pet. After all, a professional IT specialist’s dog’s name is always something like sif723@59!kw.
· Encryption algorithm (WPA Encryption). Both AES and AES-TKIP are equally good, there is no fundamental difference.
Advanced settings section
Advanced Wi-Fi settings. Useful advancements.
As a rule, TP Link modems do not require advanced settings. Everything should work with default values.
2. Mode: b / g / n / ac or their variations - bgn, bg, etc. In fact, generations of the Wi-Fi standard. You should select the most recent connection mode in the settings, bgn setting, or, if present, bgn+ac. The rest are needed only for rare cases of device incompatibility.
· The ancient and slow a and b modes were hardly seen even by seasoned specialists. These are retained for compatibility purposes and should not be used.
· Old “g” mode: can be used if older devices categorically refuse to work with other modes.
· Modern standard “n”: the most common for most devices.
· Latest “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 only after entering a password. No strangers. It is not recommended for home use or for a small office where everyone has 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 Wi-Fi signal. 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 mode).
Conclusion
Setting up a router is an easy task even for non-specialists, and very, very necessary. Once you understand the parameters, you will no longer call specialists and adjusters - it’s only a matter of 2-3 minutes of time.
There are no uniform instructions for setting up wireless network settings, but the general principles are the same for all models. Only small details differ: some devices use the terms Wireless, others use Wi-Fi; The newest models work with the “ac” communication standard, older models work with b/g/n networks. The example of setting up a TP-Link access point is suitable for devices from ASUS, D-Link, and others - only the little things differ. Direct analogy: microwave ovens - the principle is the same, but the buttons are slightly different.
You try to go to the setup menu of a router, modem or optical ONT terminal via http://192.168.1.1 and the “personal account” of the device does not open for you. What to do? Call a specialist and pay money? Take your time and don't get discouraged. Let's try to figure out the problem together and decide how to log into the router?!
I think it's useful to know a little theory first:
192.168.1.1
— this is the IP address (IP) of the network device. By default, the network is usually registered on routers: 192.168.1.0/24. In other words, the local network on the router is configured with the first (lowest) address in the subnet - 1, and clients connected via the local network will use addresses with 2
By 254
. In general, this is a generally accepted rule and is configured this way for the vast majority of network devices - Zyxel Keenetic, Lincsys, Cisco, TP-Link, Upvel, Sagemcom, Asus. There are, of course, exceptions. For example, D-Link and Netgear routers use a different subnet by default - 192.168.0.0/24
and accordingly the IP will be - . But, whatever one may say, the numbers are different, but the meaning is the same - that IP 192.168.1.1, that 192.168.0.1 is the address of a network device on the network. In our case -
How to log into the router
Now let's move on to practice. To go into the settings of a WiFi router or ADSL modem, you must enter the address in the browser: http://192.168.1.1. In this case, you do not need to type the protocol at the beginning - http:// or www - the browser itself will automatically enter the required one.
If you have access to the settings, you will see an authorization form on the device, where you will need to enter your login and password (usually to log into the router via 192.168.1.1 you use: admin / admin):
This means that the local network is configured, the router is accessible and there are no problems with accessing its settings. We will consider the worst case scenario - the browser displays the error “Page is unavailable” or “Unable to access the site”:
Web interface accessibility issues can vary. Let's look at the most common of them:
Instructions on how to log in to 192.168.1.1.
Step 1. Check the activity of the network connection.
Very often, the reason for the router’s inaccessibility is the network cable disconnected from it.
In this case, it is not necessary that someone pulled out the cable intentionally - the connector can simply move a millimeter away from the network card connector and nothing will work. Be sure to check the integrity of the cable - it may be pinched somewhere or damaged by something. Please also note that the LAN cable must be connected to the LAN port of the device and not to the WAN port.
Otherwise, you will not be able to access 192.168.1.1 through the WAN port. This port is used to connect the provider cable. But only!
Step 2: Check the network indicators.
Here I mean the physical connection indicators both on the computer’s network card and on the router itself. What are they? Typically this is a green LED. If the network is active, the indicator lights up or blinks quickly. We take your device in our hands and look at the front panel. When turned on, the Power indicator must be lit - it means that the device is turned on. Then we look at the LAN port indicators - they are usually marked either simply with numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4.
When plugging the patch cord into the LAN port— the indicator with the corresponding port number should light up. If it does not light up, try disconnecting the network patch cord and plugging it into the adjacent connector. If the indicator does not light up there either, try everything one by one. Did not help? Then you have The router is faulty - take it to service.
Step 3: Check your network settings.
At this stage, we need to check the settings of the network adapter - which IP is registered. To get to the network card settings on the Windows XP operating system, click the Start button and select the Network Connections section. In Windows 7 and Windows 8, press the key combination Win+R. The Launch Program window will open. Here you need to type the phrase - control panel.
The Windows Control Panel will open, where you need to find the “Network and Internet” section.
Click on it with the left mouse button. The following window will open:
Now, to open the router’s personal account via 192.168.1.1, click on the “Network and Sharing Center” link:
Select the menu item “ Properties" . The Local Area Connections properties window will open:
Select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and double-click on it with the left mouse button. In most cases, IP settings are set to automatic mode:
This is how the system was initially configured. This is done in order to facilitate the connection of the computer to the network. Thanks to this, if there is a DHCP server on the network, Windows will receive an IP address, mask, gateway address and DNS from it.
But what if there is no DHCP server on the network, or it is disabled in the configuration? In this case, logging in via 192.168.1.1 to your personal account in automatic settings will not be available, since the IP will be picked up from a special Microsoft subnet - 169.x.x.x. It goes without saying that with such an address you will not have access to the WiFi router address. Therefore, to enter its configurator, you need to register the IP manually - check the “Use the following IP address” checkbox and enter the addresses as in the picture:
That is, the following should be written:
IP address - 192.168.1.2
Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS server - 192.168.1.1
Alternative DNS server - 8.8.8.8
Registered, click the “OK” button for the changes to take effect. We launch the browser again and try to go into the router settings at 192.168.1.1. The router’s personal account is still inaccessible?! Well, let's move on.
Step 4. Check the Web browser.
In the Control Panel, select the “Network and Internet” section :
Now you need to select “Internet Options” and open the “Connections” tab. Click the “Network Settings” button:
No Proxy servers should be registered.
Keep in mind that a web browser is also a program and may not work entirely correctly. Therefore, be sure to install another browser - Firefox, Opera or Chrome - and try to log into the router via 192.168.1.1 (Zyxel Keenetic, TP-Link, ASUS, etc.).
Step 5. The node can be blocked by the Security System.
It may happen that your modem or router becomes unavailable locally due to incorrect configuration of the Windows Firewall or another firewall you have installed. To eliminate this we do this:
We completely disable (by stopping the service) the security system you have installed - antivirus, firewall, etc.
Also, to exclude all options, we try to disable the standard Windows Firewall. It can also block IP 192.168.1.1 or an entire subnet. Go to the Control Panel, select the “Windows Firewall” section and completely deactivate the packet filter by clicking on the “Turn off” value.
On Windows 7 and Windows 10 Toolbars We look for the “Security System” -> “Windows Firewall” section and select the “Turn Windows Firewall on or off” menu item.
We disable it completely for private and public networks.
Again we check access via 192.168.1.1 to the personal account of the modem or router.
If none of the above helped you, then only the following scenarios remain:
1 option- The IP address on the router has been changed. That is, it is not 192.168.1.1 that is used, but another IP - 192.168.0.1, 10.90.90.90, etc. In this case, all that remains is to reset the device configuration parameters using the “Reset” button on the back panel of the device and configure it again.
Option 2- viruses and malware. Nowadays there are a lot of different infections circulating on the Internet, including viruses for routers that change some of their settings, after which logging into the device’s web interface also becomes quite problematic. Start by checking your computer or laptop for viruses.
Option 3— check if you can access 192.168.1.1 from a phone or tablet by connecting to a WiFi network. The password for connecting to a wireless network is often written on a sticker glued to the bottom of the device. If not, then, as an option, you can try using the WPS function. In this case, the PIN code will also be written on the sticker.
Option 4- Hardware failure of your modem or router. In this case, the only way out is to take it to a service center.
Video tutorial:
The router address 192.168.1.1 is available, but does not allow admin/admin
I think that to complete the picture, we need to consider another option: the router is accessible, but it is not possible to log in to http://192.168.1.1 - the password is not suitable - admin:
In this case, only 2 options are possible:
1 - Reset the settings with the “Reset” button, as described above, after which access to the modem settings should be possible without problems. But please note that after resetting the settings, the router will be pristine and will have to be completely configured from scratch.
2 - Look for the person who originally set up your device and ask for the password. If this was done by a master installer from the provider, then perhaps he installs the same thing on all devices. If the parameter settings were made by someone else, then he is unlikely to remember and will still have to use “Reset”.
