ADDITIONAL SECURITY – CHANGING THE


ADMINISTRATIVE USERNAME AND PASSWORD
For additional security, we recommend changing the admin
user name and password. This makes it more difficult for someone
to change settings in the event that they are able to gain
unauthorized access to your network. Since the default username
and password for the control center is pretty much easy to acquire
for some person with knowledge to TP-Link routers, it is best that
you change the administrative username and password as well. You
can do this by:

 In your web browser, navigate to tplinkwifi.net.


 Enter the default user name and password, which are
both "admin". Click Login.
 Enter "admin" in both the Old User Name and Old Password
fields.
 Enter a new user name and password in the New User
Name, New Password, and Confirm New Password fields.
Your password must be between 1 - 15 character and may
not include spaces. Do not use the same password that you
used for your wireless network. Do not share this user name
or password with anyone.
 Click Save.

 You will be logged out. Verify that you are able to sign in
with your new user name and password.
 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to connect devices
to your network without using the WPA2 key. If physical
security of your router is a possible concern, disable WPS by
clicking WPS on the navigation bar, then clicking Disable
WPS.

Reminder
If by accident that you can’t remember your new username and
password, you can just do the factory reset procedure that was
stated above in this article.
