• Make sure the physical connection between the router and the modem is proper
• Clone the MAC address of your computer.
1 ) Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and password you’ve set
for the router.
2 )
Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
Internet
and focus on the
MAC Clone
section.
3 ) Choose an option to your need (Enter the MAC address if
Use Custom MAC
Address
is selected), and click
Save
.
Tips:
•
Some ISP will register the MAC address of your computer when you access the Internet for the first time
through their Cable modem, if you add a router into your network to share your Internet connection, the
ISP will not accept it as the MAC address is changed, so we need to clone your computer’s MAC address to
the router.
•
The MAC addresses of a computer in wired connection and wireless connection are different.
• Modify the LAN IP address of the router.
Note:
Most TP-LINK routers use 192.168.0.1/192.168.1.1 as their default LAN IP address, it may be conflicting with the
IP range of your existent ADSL modem/router. If so, the router is not able to communicate with your modem
and cause you can’t access the Internet. To resolve this problem, we need to change the LAN IP address of the
router to avoid such conflict, for example, 192.168.2.1.
