How to find your TP-Link default Wi-Fi password
The default Wi-Fi password (also known as the network key) is printed on the router label, usually on the back or bottom of the device. It’s often marked as Wireless Password or PIN. If you changed the password before and forgot it, you can find it via the TP-Link Tether app or reset your router to factory settings.
How to log in to your TP-Link router
- Connect your PC or phone to the router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
- Open a browser and enter

- Once logged in, you can change your Wi-Fi name (SSID), password, and security settings.
Resetting TP-Link to default settings
If you’ve lost access to the admin page, resetting your router restores the factory defaults:
- While the router is powered on, press and hold the Reset button (using a paperclip) for about 10 seconds.
- Wait for the router to reboot.
- After that, use the default credentials (admin/admin) to log in again.
Variations by model and ISP customization
Some ISPs provide customized TP-Link routers with different login information. Always check:
- The device’s bottom label for printed credentials.
- Your ISP documentation or setup sheet.
- The TP-Link official support site for your exact model (for example, Deco, Archer, RE series).
