Starting with your TP Link router

The TP Link routers are very easy to setup and install. It is recommended that the initial setup and installation is done through a desktop computer connected to the router with the help of an Ethernet cable. It leaves no chance for the router to get corrupted in the initial setup and installation process. The user just has to open a web browser of their choice and type www.tplinkwifi.net in the address bar and hit enter. The user will then be taken to the login page of the router which will then prompt the user for the default information. The default user name and password are “admin” for both the cases. The username and password are case sensitive. After the login process, the Setup Wizard will appear. The user then can access the advanced features of the router like the Guest Network, the Parental Control feature, to change the username and password for their network, to upgrade the firmware of their router and more.

The firmware upgrade is a very important yet neglected part of the router. Most people never upgrade the firmware of their router. TP Link releases firmware updates regularly so that the user can enjoy a smooth experience without facing any issues. All the sensitive information passes through the router such as the user’s banking information when they buy something online, their private information, their emails and the passwords and more. The firmware upgrade ensures that the security on the router is up to date as well and that the router isn’t vulnerable to any potential threats. Along with the enhanced security, the firmware upgrade might also bring some bug fixes or might even add some features to the router.

Here, we will guide you with the steps required to setup and login to the TP Link routers, to reset the routers, to upgrade the firmware on the routers and to change the username and password for the routers as well so that the users can secure their network from unwanted guests.
