I faced such a problem that my router began to malfunction (sometimes disconnect the Internet, and after rebooting everything returned to normal), so I decided to enter the router settings via IP 192.168.1.1 after entering the login and password, the page rebooted and the notification "Authentication failed: invalid username or password "(Authentication failed: invalid username or password).
I thought that when setting up the router, the wizard changed the data and I had to reset the router settings, and yet after the reset I still can't enter the settings due to the fact that the username or password is incorrect (I used the factory admin / admin). Help please!
Router: TP-Link WR740N, Windows 7
Answer
To begin with, I recommend doing a factory reset again according to the instructions and making sure that the reset has occurred. Has the name of the Wi-Fi network changed to the factory name (SSID is indicated on the bottom of the router)?
Did you buy TP-Link WR740N yourself, or was it provided by your provider? The sticker on the bottom of the WR740N shows the username / password: admin / admin? It happens that a router with the provider's firmware installed, and by default a different username / password is used there. You can check this information with the provider's support.
Try to access the settings of your TP-Link router through a different browser. Better yet, through another device.
We also have this article: the admin password for 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 does not work.
