How to configure the TP-Link Travel Router in Access Point mode

Step 1. Switch the operating mode to AP/Rng Ext/Client, then use an Ethernet cable to connect the TL-WR902AC's Ethernet port to the internet source, such as a modem or a wall Ethernet port.

Note: There is no physical switch button on the TL-WR802N and TL-WR810N to control the operating mode; you can select the mode after accessing the web management.

Step 2. Connect one computer to the router wirelessly. The Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password are on the router’s label.

Note: If the hotel’s internet requires authentication, you will need to authenticate on each device.

Step 3. Open a browser to visit tplinkwifi.net to log in to the web management page with the username and password you set for the router. The default is admin (all lowercase) for both the username and the password.

Step 4. Click Next to start the Quick Setup.

Step 5. Select the Access Point for the router's operation mode.

Step 6. Either customize your wireless network name and password for the 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless network, or keep the default settings, then click Next.

Step 7. Select the LAN IP type for the router, or leave the default Smart IP for most cases, and click Next.

Step 8. Click Finish to apply the settings.

Step 1. Connect the travel router’s WAN/LAN port to the existing router’s LAN port or wall Ethernet jack using the Ethernet cable.

Step 2. Connect one computer to the travel router wirelessly or via a wired connection.

• Wirelessly: Connect your computer to the router’s Wi-Fi. The default wireless network name (SSID) and wireless password are printed on both the Wi-Fi info card and the label at the bottom of the router.
• Wired: Turn off the Wi-Fi on your computer and connect to the LAN port of the router with an Ethernet cable.

Step 3. Open a browser to visit tplinkwifi.net or 192.168.0.1, and create a local password to sign in to the web management page. If you have already configured this device, it will ask you to enter the local password. Once sign in, go to Step 6.

Note: If you do not remember the local password, get a pin to press the reset hole for 6 seconds to perform a hard reset.

Step 4. Select your time zone, and click NEXT.

Step 5. On the next page, select Exit Setup, then click EXIT in the pop-up dialog to terminate the current configuration.

Step 6. Navigate to Advanced > System > Operation Mode, select AP/RE/Client Mode, and apply changes with SAVE.

Note: When switching from Range Extender Mode or Client Mode to Access Point, navigate to Advanced > Network > Network Mode, select Access Point as the active configuration, then confirm the changes by clicking SAVE. (Configuration require system reboot to activate new parameters.) Then go to Step 8.

Step 7. In the next confirmation window, revalidate the Access Point mode selection, then execute REBOOT and await successful configuration deployment.

Step 8. Access the web management page via tplinkwifi.net and authenticate using the local password.

Step 9. Set your time zone, configure the Access Point as the network mode, then click NEXT.

Step 10. Either customize your wireless network name and wireless password for the 2.4GHz/5GHz wireless network or keep the default ones by clicking USE THE CURRENT Wi-Fi SETTINGS, and then click NEXT.

Step 11. Review firmware update preferences, confirm with NEXT, and then wait for it to apply the settings.
