Hello! I bought a TP-Link TL-WR740N router, and I don't know where to download drivers for it. I can't configure my router without a driver. I looked at the official website, there are no drivers. How do I set up a router?
Answer
Hello! All wrong. Forget about drivers. Driver and router, concepts are not compatible at all. There are no drivers for routers and they are not needed. Including for TP-Link TL-WR740N, you do not need to download and install drivers (and where to install them?).
A router is a completely independent device, it runs on its own software. The driver can be installed on a computer for a network card or wireless Wi-Fi adapter.
Let's go back to TP-Link TL-WR740N. The router needs to be configured through the control panel. We have detailed instructions on how to configure the TP-Link TL-WR740N router on our website.
Very often, a program for quick setup is mistaken for a driver for a router. If you had a disk bundled with your router, then this program is there. TP-Link calls it Easy Setup Assistant. It can also be downloaded from the official website. There is a separate instruction for configuring the TL-WR740N through the program: quick configuration of the TP-LINK router through the Easy Setup Assistant utility (from disk). Using the TL-WR740N as an example.
Well, you can also download firmware for the router. Read more about this here.
Do not download drivers for routers. Very often some viruses or malware are hidden there. And if you want to download something, then only from the official website of the manufacturer of your device.
