  If you cannot access the internet, check that all connectors, including the telephone line, Ethernet cables, and power adapter, are well connected. Also, consult your ISP to ensure that your VLAN ID (VDSL), VPI/VCI (ADSL), Connection Type, account username, and password are correct. You can also restore your modem router to its factory default settings and reconfigure it using the Quick Setup Wizard.

  If you cannot log in to the web management page, ensure the modem router connects to the computer correctly and the corresponding LED indicators light up. Also, verify that your computer's IP address is configured to obtain an IP address and DNS server address automatically. Make sure you are correctly inputting the default access address: http://tplinkmodem.net or http://192.168.1.1. Try using a different web browser or computer. As a last resort, reset the modem router to factory default settings.

  If you cannot find or connect to your wireless network, first ensure that the wireless function is enabled if you’re using a laptop with a built-in wireless adapter. Make sure the wireless adapter driver is installed successfully and the wireless adapter is enabled. Check the Wi-Fi LED indicator on your wireless router/modem. Go to Basic > Wireless page, and check the wireless settings, double check your Wireless Name and ensure the SSID is not hidden. If it continues on saying network security key mismatch, confirm the wireless password on your modem router. Change the wireless Channel of the router to 1, 6, or 11 to reduce interference from other networks. Re-install or update the driver for your wireless adapter of the computer.
