Model : TP-WR941ND v5.1

Hardware Version : 5.1

Firmware Version : ?

ISP : Telefonica reseller

Having a lot of frustration with my WR941ND (v.5.1), the way it was working or not working with my Peru ISP, I did a factory reset ... now I have no wireless at all, however I do have wired with it in the default setting. However I cannot log on at all now to reset the router to my desired settings. The normal default id and password of admin admin does not take. I have tried both Chrome and IE as browsers and don't know what else to do. I have pushed the reset button a 2nd time but same problem. I assume that factory reset erases any other passwords that were in there, regardless of if placed by me or my ISP.

Anyone else have a problem like this? how did you solve it?

TP-Link - can you address?

How about status of all lights on front panel of WR941ND?
What's the IP address obtained on your PC connected to LAN port of WR941ND?

What's your hardware version of 941ND?
The correct steps reseting the router is to press the button until all the indicator lights all on and then remove your finger.
If you have done the procedure, the default username/password will be amin/amin.
BTW, can you see the log on page on your browsers?
If not, that means the problem may lies on the IP address of your computer.
Have a check.

version 5.1
yes, and to be sure, just did it again in reading your note ... admin admin does not work, gives me a "400 bad request" response
(I assume you meant admin/admin not amin/amin)
what is the log on page?

Talking to TP-Link about this and they asked me to try again and if failed (it did) to give them the 'status/detail' of the internet wired adapter:
