Introduction

This article aims to provide step-by-step instructions for logging into the web-based management interface of the TP-Link VDSL/ADSL Modem Router effectively.

Requirements

  • One device that supports Windows, Mac OS, Android OS, and iOS, and can open Web browsers, such as a phone, computer, or iPad.
  • Power on the TP-Link VDSL/ADSL Modem Router and wait for it to reboot completely.

Configuration

The web-based management page is a built-in internal web server that does not require internet access. However, it requires that your device be connected to the modem router wired or wirelessly.

Note: Older web browsers may have compatibility issues with the router’s management page, such as login failures or missing features. And for changing wireless settings or firmware updates, recommended to use a wired connection.

Step1. Connect your device to the TP-Link VDSL/ADSL Modem Router

Method 1: Wired

Connect the computer’s Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports on the router via an Ethernet cable.

Method 2: Wireless

Ensure the wireless device connects to the TP-Link VDSL/ADSL modem router’s Wi-Fi network. If you forget the password, reset the router and use the default Wi-Fi name and password on its label.

Step 2. Access the web management page

It's recommended to use Firefox, Chrome, and Edge to access the web management page of the router.

Launch a web browser, at the top of the window in the address bar type in https://tplinkmodem.net or 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

Address bar.

Step 3 (Optional). Allow access to the web management page

If your browser displays a "Privacy Error" warning about an insecure connection, click Advanced and select Proceed to tplinkmodem.net (unsafe) or Proceed to 192.168.1.1 (unsafe) to continue; if this warning doesn't appear, skip directly to Step 4.

A warning message will appear because tplinkmodem.net uses a self-signed certificate rather than one issued by a trusted authority. This is normal, and your connection remains secure.

For details, see: Why TP-Link HTTPS web interface is detected as unsecure by some web browsers?

Step 4. Set / Enter password to sign in

When first accessing the system, set a secure administrator account (for some models, the default username and password are both admin).

If you've previously managed the device via the web interface or Tether app, enter your existing password. However, once it has been bound to the TP-Link ID you registered before, please sign in with the TP-Link account information.

If you can't access the web management page and see errors like "no internet" or "the website can't be reached", see why can't I log in to the web management utility of the TP-Link device.
