Model: TD-W8961N  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have TP-Link TD-W8961ND ( https://www.tp-link.com/la/home-networking/dsl-modem-router/td-w8961nd/ ) Router.

 

I cannot access 192.168.1.1 , router configuration.

 

The router cannot be connected via wifi as the wifi light is not lit and wifi is not detecting. I am also not being able to connect it via RJ45 Lan cable. When I enter 192.168.1.1, it does not enter the router configuration.

 

I want to reset it. There is a hole behind it.

 

 

This is what I did.

 

1) Connected Power Adapter into it.

2) With a stick pressed the reset button for 30 seconds.

 

But nothing happened. 

 

How to access router configuration? Is an internet connection required to access router configuration?

 

How to reset my TPLINK ADSL+ Router?

@Maddyboy 

Good day.

Thank you for your patience.

How long have you had the modem? And where are you located?

When the computer connected to the router by cable, may I know what the IP address is on the PC?

(Normally, we could log into the router via gateway)

Thank you!

Been using it for 5 Years. From Kerala, India. When I plug power cord, Power, ADSL & Internet LED's are Lit solid. When I also plug Ethernet cable, Ethernet light is lit, but cannot access 192.168.1.1 .

When I connect RJ45 cable to my router. The Ethernet light blinks and then stabilises.

 

 

When I Ipconfig I get this.

 

There is no Wifi light when I power on, I have also tried to pus the button behind.

After plugging Power adapter only, I tried put a pin inside the reset hole and held it for 20 seconds. Nothing happened.

Good day.

Sorry for the delay.

There must be something wrong with it.

Since it had already been out of warranty, you might need to get a new modem.

Thank you very much.
