How do I log into the Web-based Interface of Wireless Access Point or Extender(case 1)?

The web-based management page is a built-in internal web server that does not require internet access. It does however require your device to be connected to the TP-Link device. This connection can be wired or wireless.

Note: Low version of your web browser may cause compatibility problem with the web-based interface(management page) of your device, such as unable to log into the interface, display incomplete features etc. It is strongly recommended to use a wired connection if you are going to change the device’s wireless settings or upgrade the firmware version.

Note: For those products whose DHCP are enabled by default, which are not listed as following, please refer to this link.

This article applies to those wireless access points and extenders whose DHCP are disabled by default. (TL-WA500G,TL-WA501G,TL-WA601G,TL-WA701ND v1, TL-WA801ND v1, TL-WA901ND v1/v2,Tl-WA730RE,TL-WA5110G,TL-WA5210G,TL-WA7210N, TL-WA7510N, TL-WA830 v1/v2 of old version.)
