3. Enter the router’s default login credentials (admin as both username and password, unless you’ve changed them).

4. Once logged in, navigate to the “Wireless” tab on the sidebar menu.

5. Click on “Wireless Security” to access the security settings.

6. In the “Password” field, enter a strong and secure new password consisting of alphanumeric characters, symbols, and varying case levels.

Method 2: Via the TP Link Tether App

1. Download and install the TP Link Tether App on your smartphone (Available for iOS and Android devices).

2. Connect your smartphone to your TP Link router’s network.
