Log into the Gateway:
- Connect your device to the router (preferably hardwired)
- Open a Web Browser (Chrome, FireFox, Safari, Internet Explorer etc)
- In the web browsers address bar type: tplinkwifi.net or 192.168.0.1
- The following screen appears and you will need to set an administrator password for managing your router ** First time login only, you may have set this already**
- Click Let’s Get Started when you’re done.*
- If the default password does not work and you cannot remember the changed password, you may need to factory reset the router by hushing and holding the inset reset button for 10 seconds.
