Please advise what did I disable in my TPLINK router?
I no longer am able to login to my IP address URL (TPLINK modem model # TD-W8951ND. Version 5.1) since I disabled something after logging into my IP address URL page by selecting a radio box somewhere in the middle upper tab there. How do I get back into the IP address login for the modem and ALSO: where do I disable and enable the Wifi connection (for the night) and how? Thanks.
When I enter my IP address into my browser and go there it now shows the following text:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

P.S. The website of TPLINK modem (accessed via an IP address) is a dark jungle for an average user. There are many questions, which are hard to find answered. For example what is ACL? ACL Activated / Deactivated - what does it do? When ACL is Deactivated the entire website disappears, as per my above post. On the next day the website reapeared. Whether someone reactivated it or...? It is confusing. Perhaps someone can explain how to use all the features of it? Such as Access Management, uPnP etc?
Why is Secure IP Address listed as: 0.0.0.0-0.0.0.0 ? How to secure the modem, access, prevent others from viewing etc.?
SPI Disabled (radio box). (WARNING: If you enabled SPI, all traffics initiated from WAN would be blocked, including DMZ, Virtual Server, and ACL WAN side.)
How does a modem owner know all that?
Also... the model number TD-W8951ND is not found by TP-Link website. How come? Are there TPLINK modems that the manufacturer forgot and can not find? What can I do then? I can not even contact the tech suport in the link below because they do not recognize the MODEL NUMBER of my TPLINK modem and keep erasing the model number field! How come?
