If these don't work, check our default router passwords list or look at the label on your router.

How To Login to Your TP-Link Router

  1. Connect to your TP-Link router — via Ethernet or WiFi.
  2. Open a browser — type http://192.168.0.1 or tplinkwifi.net in the address bar.
  3. Enter credentials — use the username and password from the table above.
  4. Access settings — you're now in the TP-Link admin dashboard.
Can't connect? Make sure you're on the TP-Link router's network. If 192.168.0.1 doesn't work, try finding your router's actual IP address.
