TP-LINK TL-WR642G Router - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Not all routers have a WPS button even though it may still have the functionality that can be selected from the router configuration page.Would you like some remote assistance? I could have a look for you

Reset the router completely (usually a small button on the back or bottom of the router). Then try reconnecting everything once again and recreating your network with SSID name and everything.

It means progress and activity, unless if it is un plugged.

If there is a physical button on the router(like reset(reset as in factory mode)), just press it for 10 seconds for a reset.

Did you use an official firmware or something like WRT?

Sounds like you need to change the TP link router for a wireless Access Point or a range extender. Who knows what goofing around BT does with their equipment.

Hi, Do you experience problems with other WiFi hotspots?

Routers do not have drivers.

probably hardware issuecontact seller if possible

Blocking domains on TP-LINK routers is fairly easy to do. Log onto the admin panel on http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/ (default login name and password are both "admin"). Once you're in, look for an option under firewall settings. You should also be able to set the hours when the block is in effect.

This router doesn't support parental controls, however it does have domain filtering which lets you block specific domains. To log into your router.

• Open a command prompt.
• Start, type CMD and press enter
• Type ipconfig
• Note the "Default Gateway", this is your routers address.
• Type this address into a web browser address bar. (Ex: 192.168.0.1)
• Log into your router, enter any username and/or password.
• If you never configured one and it asks its probably one of the following. (admin/admin, admin/password) You can also google your model + default login and you should find it's default)
• Once logged in go to the security > domain filter

You do not need the setup CD to make a router work.Here is how you establish Internet connections on a router...->Assign your PC an IP address in the same range as the router's default address- for most routers, assign the IP address of 192.168.1.2 but you should check from manufacturer website. ->Connect the PC directly to the router with an Ethernet cable.->Open a web browser (IE, Firefox, Safari) and enter "http://" and then the IP address number of the router into the address bar.->Enter the default Name and Password->Your are now in your router's "web interface" Control Panel, and you can enter the PPPoE setting provided by your ISP. Typically all you need is an identifier.. which is an e-mail address + password.->Return to your PC's Network Connections and reset your PC to "Get address automatically-DHCP". Reboot your PC if necessary.If you need any kind of technical assistance you can contact support cell at http://www.vtechsquad.com/

When you purchased your router, if It came with software then your going to have to use that. It should be as simple as opening the software, finding the setting and changing it. If not, your going to have to be an administrator on the network and go to network settings.

may find this page helpful. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php...om_a_Bad_Fl ash Its not for the TP-Link router but the same principle could be applied to you with the correct firmware. Its worked for me on more than a few occasions. Providing you can ping the router via a lan cable then the chances of recovering it are very high.

To Configure the rputer you will need it attached to a computer .and run the setuo disk ,once it is installed open the Internet explorer and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 this will bring you to a login screen and the username and password is admin for both . once in you can set up securty on the network and anything else you would like .You have not specified Qhat you want to Configure

You should be able to reset the router to factory defaults by holding the reset button (located in the back) down for 15 seconds with power on.

Most likely the telephone company would not have reset your router, unless they provided it to you.

Make sure you are holding the reset button down long enough that it reboots itself and see if that helps. I have come across several times, where people have not held the button down long enough.

Good Luck
