Logging in to your TP-Link router lets you change the WiFi name and password, set up parental controls, update the firmware and forward ports. These steps work for TL-WR and Archer routers, TP-Link modem routers and Deco.

Step 1: Connect

Connect your computer or phone to the TP-Link router's WiFi, or plug a cable into one of its LAN ports. The default WiFi name and password are on the label underneath.

Step 2: Open the Login Page

Type one of these into your browser's address bar:

http://tplinkwifi.net: TP-Link routers (Archer and TL-WR).
http://tplinkmodem.net: TP-Link modem routers (Archer VR, Archer D, TD-W series).
http://tplinklogin.net: older TP-Link routers.
http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1: the router's IP address, if the names above don't work.

Check your model on the TP-Link IP address page.

Step 3: Sign In

Newer TP-Link routers: the first time you log in, you're asked to create an administrator password. After that, enter just that password. Some models let you log in with a TP-Link ID instead.

router login screen — The login screen of the TP-Link Archer C7 v2.

Older TP-Link routers: enter the username admin and the password admin.

Deco: open the Deco app and sign in with your TP-Link ID. Deco is managed almost entirely through the app.

Every known default is on the TP-Link passwords page.

Step 4: You're In

Newer routers show the Basic > Network Map page. Older routers show the Status page.

router status mac address internet IP — The *status* page of the TP-Link Archer D9 v2.

Next you might want to change the router's IP address.

TP-Link Login Problems

tplinkwifi.net doesn't load. You must be connected to the TP-Link router. On mobile data or another WiFi network the name doesn't work. Turn off any VPN, then try 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

admin / admin doesn't work. Newer models have no default password. Use the one created at first login. If nobody knows it, click Forgot password? on the login page. Some models can send a recovery code by email. Otherwise, reset the router.

"You have exceeded the maximum number of attempts". Wait about two hours, or restart the router to try again sooner.

It says another user is logged in. Only one administrator can be logged in at a time. Log out on the other device, or wait a few minutes for that session to time out.
