Repeater Mode
Use as a wireless adapter for wired-only Ethernet
enabled devices. This mode is suitable for
connecting Smart TVs, game consoles, or computers
to your wireless network.
Repeat signal from an existing wireless network.
This mode is suitable to extend wireless coverage,
reaching devices that were previously too far from
your primary router to maintain a stable wireless
connection.
(Note: if the hotel’s Internet has an authentication
process, you will need to authenticate only once and
only on one device)
Access Point Mode
5
Create a wireless network from an Ethernet
connection. This mode is suitable for dorm rooms
or homes if there's already a wired router but you
need a wireless hotspot.
WISP Client Router Mode
Use as a client router to receive internet access
from a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP),
and share that access with local devices.
(Note: if the hotel’s Internet has an authentication
process, you will need to authenticate it on EACH
device.)
The repeated signal will display the same network

Appendix 3: Troubleshooting

When choosing an ideal location to optimize the performance of
repeater mode, please keep the points below in mind.
3
Restore the TL-WR710N to its factory default settings (see
below).
I cannot access Internet via my Cable Modem. What do I do?
Reset the cable modem by powering it off, and then powering
it back on. Wait until its ONLINE LED is solid. Next, unplug the
TL-WR710N and plug it back in. This will allow you to access
Internet in most cases.
To log in the Web Management page, use the default user
name and password: admin, admin.
The Best Way is Half-Way
Generally, the ideal location for your TL-WR710N is half-way
between your wireless router and your Wi-Fi enabled devices.
If that is not possible, placing the TL-WR710N closer to your
wireless router will ensure stable performance.
LAN
What can I do if I forget my password?
To connect to the Wireless Network, use the default
password on the label.
If the above does not work and you are unsure which mode
the TL-WR710N is in, please reset the TL-WR710N so that it
defaults back to Router Mode.
Try to configure your Router once again by following the
instructions in the previous steps of the QIG.

Local Storage Sharing
With the Router powered on, use a pin to press and hold the
Reset button for about 5 seconds.
Less Obstacles = Better Performance
Try to choose a location that will minimize the number of
obstacles between the TL-WR710N and your wireless router.
Open corridors or other spacious locations will typically
provide better conditions for performance than a crowded
room.

Less Interference = More Stability.

You may be experiencing frequent wireless drops due to an often
changing channel setting. In this case, setting your wireless
channel setting to a static channel between 1 and 11 will prevent
the wireless frequency from changing, and likely stabilize your
network connection.
Upon reset, the device will clear all previous configurations
and default to router mode.
Appendix 3: Troubleshooting (Continued)
For Mac OS:
Click the Apple icon on the upper left corner of your screen.
Go to System Preferences -> Network.
Select “Airport” from the left menu bar and then click
“Advanced” for wireless configuration, or “Ethernet” for wired
configuration.
Set “Configure IPv4” to “Using DHCP”, then click “Apply”.
5 The TL-WR710N is on and I am connected, but I cannot access
the Web Management Page through my browser.
You need change your computer’s configuration settings to “obtain
an IP address automatically” and “obtain DNS server address
automatically.”
Please refer to the instructions below:
For Windows 8:
Go to Metro Interface -> Control Panel -> View network
status and tasks -> Change adapter settings.
Right click “Wireless Network Connection”or "Local Area
Connection", and select “Properties”.
Double click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” in the
list.
Set the TCP/IP Protocol to "Obtain an IP address
automatically", then click OK.
What can I do if my wireless keeps dropping?
By default, your wireless channel setting is set to “auto” This
setting causes the TL-WR710N to select the least congested
channel between 1 and 11, allowing you to achieve the best
performance.
Try to choose a location that minimizes interference from
devices operating on the same wireless frequency, such as
cordless phones bluetooth devices, and microwave ovens.
You can also use the USB port to charge your phone or tablet!
For more detailed information about USB features, you may
refer to the User Guide on the Resource CD.
For Windows 7:
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> View network status and
tasks -> Change adapter settings.
Right click “Wireless Network Connection”or "Local Area
Connection", and select “Properties”.
Double click “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” in the
list.
Set the TCP/IP Protocol to "Obtain an IP address
automatically", then click OK.

What can I do if I want to switch the Operating Mode or change
some settings?
In any time if you want to change the Operating Mode, please refer
to the "Operating Mode Configuration" Section to change the
mode. You may also change any settings via the Web management
page.
Personal Configuration
Please use the space below to write down your
custom Wireless Network Name (SSID) and password,
and Web Management Page User Name and Password
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
What can I do if my signal strength is low?
Low signal strength can be caused by obstruction from walls or
objects. If you are receiving low signal strength, try to place your
TL-WR710N in a higher location, keeping it away from
obstructed locations like under or behind a desk.
Generally speaking, putting your TL-WR710N in a location
central to your home will maximize your signal coverage.
