Model: TL-WR802N

Firmware Version:

Hi there,

I did a factory reset on my device. Now when I try to connect to the default Wifi "TP-Link_FE88" it won't accept the default password "admin" as its too short.

I have tried numerous iPhones, MAC, Windows laptops to connect but they all have the same issue.

I tried to manually add the SSID, and chose different security settings (WEP, WPA, etc) but they all fail.

Not sure what's going on, i have reset multiple times but cannot get past this problem. Suggestons welcome!

Thanks

Hello, admin is the default password to access the web UI of the router, the wireless password is printed on the back panel, which is 8 digits numbers.

You can give it a go then.

May it help.

Thank you! That helped. I didn't notice the "password" text on the back of the device as it was so small. Found the wifi password was the 8 digit number which i had assumed was just the serial number of the device.

All working now.
