Why my TP-Link Router gets a WAN IP from the modem but no internet access?
Make sure Internet is working by connecting the computer directly to the modem and, bypassing the TP-Link router.
Problem Description:
No internet access after setup, even though the router has been given a valid IP address.
Note: If you are not sure how to log into the router's web interface to check the WAN IP Address, please click here.
Solution 1:Set up manual DNS Servers for the router.
- Click on DHCP -> DHCP settings, then put 8.8.8.8 into the Primary DNS field, click Save.
8.8.8.8 is a free and safe public DNS server provided by Google.
