Model: Archer C20  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version:

Hi,

 

I cancelled my contract with ISP, so I need to configure my new Archer C20<W> Ver. 5.0 like an access point for my other network.

I wanted to access the router to change the settings.

 

In my browser I go to 192.168.0.1 and get the tp-link logon screen.

 

According to my quick start guide both the username and the password should be "admin" but the password is not accepted by the way there is only one slot asking for the PASSWORD directly (it doesnt asks for USER and PASSWORD, only PASSWORD)

 

I tried resetting the router by pressing the RESET button 10 seconds (as stated in the manual). "admin" as password is still not accepted.

 

I tried resetting the router by pressing the RESET button 30 seconds . "admin" as password is still not accepted. (even with the 30-30-30 rule no luck)

it still asks for PASSWORD that its not admin nor user nor support (common defaults here)

 

I am at a total loss here.

If your C20 has been provided by your ISP it may have a customized FW.

If that's the case you may try this suggestion to reset its configuration.

If this was helpful click once on the arrow pointing upward. If this solves your issue, click once the star to mark it as a "Recommended Solution".

  @Saga86 that happend because the router has been blocked by your ISP server. 

Connect to the modem, and open cdm.exe then type: telnet 192.168.0.1  

Yes with the space, and the ip adress of the modem

a new window with the word "password" will be open, there type  "reset"

You wont see the letters but doesnt matter just type it and push enter

 

there be a procesess and once it finish you will be able to open your web browser and go to the ip adress of the router. I'll be unblock.

**Tip: If the cmd does not recognize telnet as a command, you can active it on windows features

 

Hope it solves the problem.
