Hi,

Please hard reset it once again by holding the reset button/hole. 

Note: With router powered on, use a pin to press and hold the Reset button until the LED blinks.

Then please check whether you can detect the wireless network name on your devices? If not, you can connect your computer to the ethernet port of the 802N and login to the web interface to configure it. 

Note: You can enter 192.168.0.1 or tplinkwifi.net in the address bar to access the web interface.

May it help and have a nice day.

Hi everyone,

 

it seems like after I did a factory reset, and starting the router up (without connecting anything to the ethernet jack), hoping that it'd default to wireless router mode from scratch, the router just ends up doing normal blinking, but somehow it doesn't show up as wireless network on my computer anymore.

 

Which step did I miss, how can I access the web configuration / admin of this router? Can I use the provided ethernet cable and connect it from my Mac Mini to do the setup?

 

Thanks a lot

 

Regards,

Hi,

What is the hardware version of the 802N? Below is the instruction to find it:

With your computer connected to the 802N by wired cable, please setup a static IP address for it.

Note: The IP address should be in the same subnet of the gateway/default access. 

After that, please try to login and configure it.

If still failed, please ping the gateway of the 802N with your computer and please show me the screenshots.

Besides, may I know where and when did you buy it?

Have a good day.
