  If your TP-Link Modem is unable to connect to the internet, try the following: * Restart the modem by turning off the power, waiting 5 minutes, and then turning it back on. * Isolate the modem by disconnecting all other equipment from the line (including splitters, telephones, and other devices), then restart the modem and connect it directly to your computer using an Ethernet cable. * If you're using an Ethernet cable, remove it and try connecting wirelessly via Wi-Fi™ to rule out a malfunctioning cable.
