Did you try the following :

1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type the default address http://tplinklogin.net in the address field of the browser.

After a moment, a login window will appear. Enter "admin" for the User Name and Password, both in lower case letters. Then click the OK button or press the Enter key.

Note: If the above screen does not pop-up, it means that your Web-browser has been set to a proxy. Go to Tools menu>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings, in the screen that appears, cancel the Using Proxy checkbox, and click OK to finish it.


If you still have a login issue the try to use the Factory Default Reset button: Press the Reset button for five seconds and then wait for the Router to reboot.

He's right, admin/admin does NOT work with the latest 130428 firmware update. Please figure out what it is! And don't fix it with another firmware update, cause I still won't be able to log in to update it!!

So, steven5737, you can see the login window but the TL-WR1043ND doesnot accept it ??? Any error message ? Any anti-virus software ?

I have the same issue. I just upgraded to the latest firmware 130428, and I cannot login with admin/admin.

Please resolve this ASAP.

T¨P-Link is an autistic company, I asked here to withdraw this version...

:mad:

Autism is a illness ;)

Did you asked to withdraw this version using the official escalation process which is sending an email here : http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/contact/

No, as I said in my link :

"I wasted a lot of time doing it and sending bug reports for nothing.
I don't trust any more TP-Link in their ability to fix bugs."

That's why I used "autism"...

Problem is resolved for me.

Apparently their new login policy is:
You can only login from one machine. To login from another machine, you must log out of from the previous machine .

The problem is that it doesn't tell you.

In any case, the solution is to explicity log out of the admin page from the computer that last logged in.
You'll be able to access the admin page from that machine.
If you cannot access the admin page, try any of the other machines that might have accessed the admin page recently...

Hope this helps other frustrated users.
Cheers!

Great !
Even DD-WRT doesn't work like that !

After the non-fixing of bugs, TP-Link is now reinventing the login access... :rolleyes:
