  If you cannot find or connect to your TP-Link Wireless Router's network, ensure the wireless function is enabled on your device. Verify that the wireless adapter driver is properly installed and enabled. Check the Wi-Fi LED indicator on your router. Make sure your device is within the router's range; move closer if needed. On the Basic > Wireless page, check your wireless settings and ensure the SSID is not hidden. If you encounter a network security key mismatch, confirm the wireless password on your router.
