Default credentials work only until someone changes them. If none of these pairs fits, the password was changed; a factory reset restores the default.

How to log in to a TP-Link router
- Connect to the router by Wi-Fi or cable. The login page cannot be reached over mobile data.
- Open tplinkwifi.net, or the IP address from the label: 192.168.0.1 on most current models, 192.168.1.1 on many older ones and on modem-routers.
- Enter the password. Current routers ask you to create an admin password on the first visit and then ask only for that password. Older models show two fields and accept
admin/admin. - If the browser shows a privacy warning, continue to the page: the router uses its own certificate, which is normal inside a home network.
Which address for which TP-Link device
- Wi-Fi routers (Archer and TL-WR series): tplinkwifi.net.
- Range extenders: tplinkrepeater.net.
- Deco mesh systems: the Deco app; setup and most settings are done there.
- Routers sold in mainland China: tplogin.cn.
Admin password vs TP-Link ID
The admin password opens the router’s web page. The TP-Link ID is an online account, used by the Tether and Deco apps and for remote management. Once a TP-Link ID is bound to the router, the web page may ask for that account instead of the local password. Resetting the router removes both.
tplinkwifi.net says you are not connected
That page comes from TP-Link’s website, not from your router: the device is on another network. Reconnect to the router’s Wi-Fi, switch off VPN and mobile data, and try the IP address if the name still fails.
Forgot the password: factory reset
A reset is the only way back in if the password is lost. With the router on, hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the power or system light starts flashing, then release. After the restart, create a new password on the first visit and set up the internet connection again.
