Changing the password can also be useful if you have shared your old password with too many people or simply want to improve your network security.

• Confirm that the connection is working

2. Open the TP-Link Login Page

Open a web browser on your connected device.

Enter the router’s management address in the browser’s address bar. Depending on your TP-Link model, this may be tplinkwifi.net, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.1.

Enter your router administrator login details when prompted.
