What is the IP address for a TP-Link router
If you’re looking for the IP address of your TP-Link router, there are a few different ways to find it. The most common way is to look in the router’s web interface. To do this, you’ll need to connect to your router’s network and then open a web browser. Once you’re logged in, you can usually find the IP address under the “Network” or “Status” section.
If you can’t find the IP address in the web interface, you can also try looking in your computer’s settings. For Windows, go to the Control Panel and then click on “Network and Sharing Center.” From here, click on “Change adapter settings” and then right-click on your TP-Link router. Select “Properties” and then look for the “IPv4 Address” or “IP Address” field.
If you’re still having trouble finding the IP address, you can try using the TP-Link Tether app. This app is available for both Android and iOS devices. Once you’ve installed it, open the app and then select your TP-Link router from the list of devices. The IP address should be listed under the “Network” section.
