Choose the model on your label
Match the full model name, hardware version and region before following a guide. Keep suffixes such as Pro: a similar name does not establish the same instructions.
Archer Wi-Fi routers
Archer AX55Check the hardware version. The guide’s complete recovery steps cover US V1; they do not cover AX55 Pro or other revisions without matching documentation. Archer AX73 V1Choose this guide for hardware V1. Follow its local sign-in, Wi-Fi settings and credential guidance.TL-WR routers
TL-WR841N V14Match hardware V14 and the operating mode. The Wi-Fi change steps cover wireless-router mode, not an interchangeable WISP, access-point or extender procedure.Deco mesh
Deco X55Use the X55 guide to choose the Deco app or its firmware-supported browser route. Confirm hardware and firmware; X55 Pro is separate.The management route follows the model
Archer and TL-WR: use the selected guide’s documented local address and sign-in instructions. The current router-admin password is distinct from the Wi-Fi password; a linked TP-Link ID is an option only where the exact router offers it.
Deco X55: use its Deco app guidance for Wi-Fi changes and settings unavailable in the browser. The guide’s supported browser route uses tplinkdeco.net, not the generic tplinkwifi.net router route, and requires the owner TP-Link ID password. Do not treat a manager account or Wi-Fi key as that owner credential, or assume every Deco model supports this browser route.
Different model or revision?
Keep your exact model instead of choosing the closest name. Check the equipment directory for your model or revision or TP-Link’s regional model and hardware selector. Select the country or region for your equipment and use its matching documentation.
If sign-in fails
Return to the selected model guide’s recovery and connection checks. For a supported local browser route, use the tplinkwifi.net troubleshooting guide when that is the hostname documented for your router. A failed Deco app or TP-Link ID sign-in needs the account help in the Deco guide, rather than a generic router-login button.
