Setting up your TP-Link TL-WR902AC AC750 Wi-Fi Travel Router in Router Mode while traveling is straightforward. Here's how to get connected:
- Mode Selection: Ensure the mode switch on your TP-Link router is set to "Share ETH".
- Hardware Connections: Make all necessary physical connections as required.
- 3G/4G USB Modem (Optional): If using a 3G/4G USB modem with a SIM/UIM card, plug the modem into the router's 3G/4G USB port. This will allow the router to share the mobile data connection via Wi-Fi.
- Connect to Wi-Fi: Connect your device (laptop, smartphone, etc.) to the TP-Link router's Wi-Fi network. You can find the default SSID (network name) and Wireless Password on the label located on the back of the router.
- Internet LED Check: Observe the Internet LED on the router. If it is lit, your internet connection is ready, and you can skip to step 6. If it is off, proceed to the next steps.
- Access the Web Interface: Open a web browser on your connected device and enter "http://tplinkwifi.net" in the address bar.
- Create a Password: Create a password to secure access to your router's web interface.
- Quick Setup: Click "Next" to begin the Quick Setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure your internet connection.
- WAN Connection Type (If Unsure): During setup, you can select "Auto Detect" if you are unsure of your WAN (Wide Area Network) connection type.
- Customize Wi-Fi Settings: During the Quick Setup, you have the option to customize your wireless network name and password for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. Note that changing these settings will require you to reconnect your devices to the new Wi-Fi network.
- Enjoy the Internet: Once the setup is complete, connect your devices to the router's Wi-Fi network and enjoy internet access. In Router Mode, the WAN/LAN port on the router acts as the WAN port.
