How do I configure my TP-Link TL-WR902AC AC750 travel router in Router Mode while traveling?

[MacDavid]

To set up your TP-Link TL-WR902AC AC750 Wi-Fi Travel Router in Router Mode for internet access on the go, follow these steps:

1. Begin by positioning the Mode Switch on the router to "Share ETH" mode.
2. Ensure all the necessary hardware connections are made, as per the initial setup guidelines.
3. If you intend to use a 3G/4G USB modem with a SIM/UIM card, insert the modem into the dedicated 3G/4G USB port on the router. This will enable the router to broadcast the 3G/4G signal as a Wi-Fi network.
4. Connect your device (laptop, smartphone, etc.) to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the router. The default network name (SSID) and its associated wireless password are conveniently located on the label affixed to the back of the router.
5. Observe the Internet LED indicator on the router. If this light is illuminated, it signifies a successful internet connection, and you may proceed directly to Step 6. If the Internet LED remains off, proceed with the subsequent steps.
6. Open a web browser on your connected device and input "http://tplinkwifi.net" into the address bar. This will direct you to the router's configuration interface.
7. You will be prompted to create a unique password for accessing the router's web interface. This enhances the security of your network settings.
8. Initiate the Quick Setup process by clicking "Next." Follow the on-screen instructions provided in the web interface to configure your internet connection.
9. If you are uncertain about the appropriate WAN Connection Type for your current location, utilize the "Auto Detect" feature during the setup. This helps simplify the process.
10. During the Quick Setup, you have the option to customize the Wireless Network Name and Password for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. Bear in mind that any modifications will necessitate reconnecting your wireless devices to the newly configured Wi-Fi network(s).
11. Once the setup is finalized, connect your own devices to the router's Wi-Fi network to enjoy internet access. Note that in Router Mode, the WAN/LAN port on the router functions as the WAN port.
