Can't get into archer ax53 router's setup page via "http://tplinkwifi.net/"
This problem was already there when the router was on version 1.4.3 but I thought it would get fix in the next update. but it didn't. I updated to 1.4.4 but I still can't access my router's setup page from "http://tplinkwifi.net/" so I have to go to "http://192.168.0.1" to be able to set it up. It's just a bit of a hassle to me and I would like it to be fixed.

Thanks for your reply.
I was busy the whole week so I didn't have time to check the post, sorry.
My router is connected to the onu my ISP provided me with.
And should I factory restore the router like in this screenshot I have attached or should I hold the router's physical button to reset it?
And yes I have made a backup.
Hi,
You can do it either way. Pressing the [FACTORY RESTORE] button on the webpage or pressing the physical "Reset" button will result in the exact same thing.
Either way, you will know whether the factory restore was successful if you are promted to create a new login password for the router when you try to log into it.
Vice versa, if the router still asked you to enter your existing password, then it would mean the factory restore was not initiated properly.

Hi,
Actually, it is more likely that your smartphone or at least the web browser of your smartphone got upgraded to use "Secure DNS".
When using Secure DNS the DNS requests sent from the client device to the DNS server are encrypted, hence the Archer AX53 (or any other router model) has no way of knowing that you are trying to open its setup page via http://tplinkwifi.net .
This cannot be fixed by TP-Link. Provided the above was indeed the case, but access via http://tplinkwifi.net is indispensable, then the solution would be to deactivate Secure DNS on the client device or its web browser.

I have also tried different browsers and different phones but it still doesn't let me access via "http://tplinkwifi.net/". but when I try to do the same on my Archer c64 it works just fine.

Hello@Najmus ，
Welcome to our community.
May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:
ISP modem—router )))((( client devices
(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )
Is the router working in Wireless router mode or Access Point mode?
Can you reset the router and configure it for comparison? Before that, please save backup files in case you lose settings: How to create and restore from a backup file on your TP-Link Router.

Thanks man after I factory restored it, (from the web interface) it now let's me connect to the web interface via "http://tplinkwifi.net" like normal. this is incredible.
Thank you again for your support man I really appreciate it.
(Unrelated question-is there anyway to forcefully change broadcasting channels on a deco m4r or maybe add a Archer c64 as a satellite unit since Archer c64 has easymesh.)

Hello@Najmus ,
I'm glad to hear that you can access the router via its domain name again.
For the Deco, you can change wireless settings as below: How to change the Wireless Settings on your Deco app
But if you cannot see the channel on this page, that means it does not support the modification of the channel.
For the EasyMesh Network, you can add a satellite router as below: How to add a router to an EasyMesh network as a satellite device
Best Regards.
