All TP-Link Mi-Fi devices

Issue Description/Phenomenon

Some customer reported that their product label with default wireless password is damaged and cannot recognize the password, thus they are unable to connect the default TP-Link WiFi after factory reset the MiFi device.

Available Solutions

Solution 1. For MiFi devices with screen such as M7350, M7450 and M7650

To view the SSID and password, press the MENU button to switch to the Device Info icon, then press the Power button to enter the screen.

Note: If no password displayed on the screen, it means “Display password on screen” has been disabled.

If you are still able to connect the MiFi now, you could enable it again;

If you are unable to connect now, please reset the MiFi device to factory defaults: remove the back cover, use a pin to press and hold the reset hole for about 10s until the device reboots automatically, you will see “Restoring” and then “Succeed” on the screen which means factory reset really worked.

Solution 2. For all TP-Link MiFi devices

The default wireless password for TP-Link MiFi device is usually the last 8 digits of the IMEI, so please look for IMEI on another label inside the device, then try to connect default WiFi with the last 8 digits of the IMEI.

Solution 3. For MiFi devices that support RNDIS

Note: Currently, M7000 V1 doesn’t support RNDIS

Please connect a Windows computer (Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10) to the MiFi device via USB cable, then login the web interface of the MiFi device via http://tplinkmifi.net or http://192.168.0.1, then go to Advanced->Wireless->Basic Settings to look for the current wireless password.
