With the unit powered up, press and hold the reset button next to the network port until the LED on the side of the unit flashes green/orange.
If the unit is plugged into a closed network which does not have a DHCP server running, it will fail back to 192.168.0.254 with the credentials of admin / admin
If there is a DHCP server present, it will pick up an IP address automatically. This IP address can be awkward to find but there is a quick way around this. By default the AP broadcasts two SSIDs, TP-Link_2.4GHz_xxxxx and TP-Link_5GHz_xxxxx where the xxxxxx part is the MAC address of the unit. The SSIDs do not have a password so they can easily be joined. Once you have got a laptop to join the WiFi, open a web browser and navigate to https://tplinkeap.net
This will take you to the login page where you can log in using admin / admin
