How to recover password to login router
Hi all,
Model: Archer C6
AC 1200 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi router
My Samsung Galaxy S9 phone and Galaxy S24 Ultra phone don't need password to connect Wi-Fi of the router.
Just found my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet needs password to connect WiFi. But the factory password printed on the back of the router doesn't work. I have not changed it. Please help.
Thanks and regards

As long as you have an access to the router web management interface (via wired computer) you can check what's the wireless password, no matter if you changed it or not.
If you don't remember the router administrator password you should reset the router to its factory defaults to regain access - that's the second hyperlink in my first post.
For the Samsung Tab S2 and Samsung Galaxy S6 you have to enter the wireless password at least once, so these devices can remember it.
If you change the router wireless password you have to re-enter the new password on all your wireless devices.

Hi @terziyski
Thanks for your advice.
I can't resolve. The password of the router is printed on a label sticked at its back. According to my recollection I haven't changed the original/factory password.
It amaizes me. My old Samsung Galaxy S9 phone and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone can connect the WiFi of the router automatically without login with password. But my Samsung Galaxy S2 tablet requires password to connect.
I just checked my another old Samsung Galaxy S6 phone. It also requires password to connect the WiFi of the router. The original factory password is unable to work.

I still didn't get which password you forgot - wireless password for your router or its web management (administrator) pasword.
In either case if you follow the appropriate guide from my first post you should be able to recover this pasword.
If that's the router wireless pasword, once logged with a mobile the mobile will store this password and get connected automarically next time.

Excuse me for dropping in the conversation, but you should be able to "share" the Wi-Fi credentials from one of the Samsung devices that can already connect to the Wi-Fi to another device that still requires the password to be entered.

And if you scan that QR code using a regular QR code scanner, then you can also reveal the actual Wi-Fi password.

Thanks for your advice.
Printing on the label
Wireless Password/PIN: xxxxxxxx (8 digits)
SSID-TP-Link: 16E2
SSID-TP-Link: 16E2-5G
On Settings
-> WiFi
-> On
I found follows:
Satimis
(Authentication error occurred)
Satimis_5G
(Authentication error occurred)
Login with the printed password fail.
According to my recollection I have not changed the "Factory password". In case if my recollection wrong, how can I change a new password? (sorry for my confusion)
I read following article;
How do I log into the web-based Utility (Management Page) of TP-Link wireless router?
https://www.tp-link.com/hk/support/faq/87/
According to;
Step 2
Launch/open a web browser and enter http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
My Samsung Tab S2 is unable to connect Internet. Can I perform this step on a wire-connected computer in this network?
Thanks and regards

" Can I perform this step on a wire-connected computer in this network? ".
That's the whole idea - to login the router web management via a wired computer and check what the wireless password is (as described in the first hyperlink in my first post).

Hi @terziyski
Thanks
Can I find the present password if, in case, I have changed the "Factory Password" before ?
What I can't resolve are;
Both my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone can connect WiFi automatically after switching on, without being asked for password to connect WiFi. But my Samsung Tab S2 tablet and Samsung Galaxy S6 phone are unable to connect WiFi automatically in switching on and being asked for password.
If I change the admin/login password for WiFi router connection whether I need to make any change on WiFi connection for my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone and Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra phone respectively?
Thanks

Hi @terziyski
Sorry, I forgot to check my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone first. Actually I can find the login password there under "Settings". Besides, many useful information can be found there.
Anyway I'm happy to solve my problem finally.
