Next, launch a web browser, type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1—the router's default IP address—into the address box, and hit Enter. If it's the default gateway, an alternative web address to utilize is "http://tplinkwifi net" or "http://192.168.0.1".

You will be required to enter the username and password for the router once the login page loads. Many TP-Link routers use "admin" as the login and password by default; however, for security purposes, it is advised to modify them.
