          • 192.168.0.1
            • or
          • tplinkwifi.net
        2. You will be prompted to create an Administrator Password for your router - this will be used in the future to access the management page of your router

        1. Select your time-zone form the dropdown, then click Next

      6. Configure your Connection
        1. In the Connection Type dropdown, select your Connection type
