Hello, I have a TP-Link Archer AX12 router and I am confused about whether to configure it through the Tether app or through the browser. I only have a phone and no computer. Thank you.

Hi,

 

You can configure the router either through the Tether app or through the web browser of your phone. It's up to you. 
Some people prefer the Tether app, while others, like me, prefer the web browser.

 

However, you need to know that not everything can be configured through the Tether app. Some advanced options are only available through the web interface.
