If you are using a cable modem, unplug the Ethernet cable and reboot the modem. Wait until its Online LED is on and stable, and then reconnect the cable to the

If you’re in a hotel room or on a trade show, the internet may be limited and requires that you authenticate for the service or purchase internet access.
If internet access is still unavailable, contact TP-Link Technical Support.

If you have changed the default wilreless password, please log in to the router’s web management and go to retrieve Wireless 2.4GHz (or Wireless 5GHz) >
Wireless Security to retrieve or reset your password.
Q5. What should I do if my wireless signal is unstable or too weak
It may be caused by too much interference.
Set your wireless channel to a different one.
Choose a location with fewer obstacles that may block the signal between the travel router and the host AP. An open corridor or a spacious location is ideal.
Move the router to a new location away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronics, such as cordless phones, microwaves, and baby monitors, to
minimize signal interference.
When in Range Extender mode, the ideal location to place the router is halfway between your host AP and the Wi-Fi dead zone. If that is not possible, place the
router closer to your host AP to ensure stable performance.
