Hello. Your help is very necessary. I lost access to the Internet through a router. Writes "Limited" and a yellow exclamation mark. I looked through the articles you answered to similar questions, did everything as it was written, but to no avail.
As I understood the problems in the router itself, since I could not connect to the network from the phone either. Everything worked fine before I got into the settings of the router and wanted to change the password and network name, most likely I pressed something wrong, and now I cannot return everything back (I pressed WPS / RESET 100500 times) HOW TO BE?
Answer
Hello. It is very difficult to understand what happened there, you described the problem in general terms. Nothing specific.
If the problem started after changing the Wi-Fi network name and password on TP-Link TL-WR840N, then perhaps you just needed to reconnect your devices to the new Wi-Fi network with a new password. It is also possible that you changed the wrong settings. Many, instead of the Wi-Fi network settings, change the WAN settings (connection parameters to the provider). Here are the instructions: how to change or set the Wi-Fi password on TP-Link.
But if now the status is "Limited" and a yellow exclamation mark, then you are connected to the TP-Link TL-WR840N, there is simply no Internet access. And this is most likely due to the fact that you reset the router settings. Now it needs to be configured again.
Therefore, I advise again, according to the instructions, to reset the settings on the TP-Link TL-WR840N. Then it will connect to the router from the computer. You can use a network cable, or Wi-Fi. The factory name of the Wi-Fi network and password (PIN) are indicated on the sticker on the bottom of the TL-WR840N.
After connecting, you need to go to the router settings. Through the browser, at 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.0.1, or tplinkwifi.net (it is also indicated at the bottom of the router).
Check if the internet cable is connected to the WAN port of the router.
After that, the first thing in the WAN section you need to CORRECT! set the parameters that your Internet provider gave you. Select the type of connection, etc. If you do not know what settings you need to specify there, contact the support of your Internet provider.
After TP-Link TL-WR840N connects to the provider, the "Restricted" status on the devices should disappear and access to the Internet will appear. You can set up a Wi-Fi network in the "Wireless" section. Set the network name (SSID) there. And in the "Wireless Security" section, set a password for Wi-Fi.
Here is another detailed instruction on how to configure TP-LINK TL-WR840N.
If all this is very difficult for you, then perhaps the best to call the masters.
