Overview
•This setup must be performed for first-time connection to the host site wireless network or
AARP hotspot, or if the host site’s or hotspot’s network name or password changes.
•This setup makes the router work at one site or for hotspot only.
•If connecting to a host site internet connection, the setup must be done at that site.
Collect Information, Set Up Your Computer and Connect the Router
1. Get the SSID (network name) and password for the network to which you are going to connect
(host site or AARP hotspot.)
2. Use a recently reimaged AARP laptop for the setup.
3. Get the SSID and the wireless password for the TP-Link TL-WR841N router from the label on its
bottom site. Note that the label is very small, smaller than pictured here.

Note: If you accidentally lose the connection, get lost, or otherwise fail, you can always start
over at step 4.
Router Setup
4. Restore router default settings. Connect the router to power, then push and hold the
“WPS/Reset” button until the lights flash, and the power indicator light alone flashes. Shortly
thereafter the WiFi signal light will turn on.
5. Connect to the router. Left click the WiFi symbol
in the Windows system tray (normally in the
lower-right corner of the Windows desktop),
select the SSID for the TP-Link router, click the
“Connect” button, type in the router’s factory
wireless password (printed on the label on the
bottom of the router), then press the “Next”
button.
6. Access the router login page.
Open a web browser and type
192.168.0.1 in the address bar
and press Enter. The Login
dialog will be displayed:
7. Log in to the router administration page. Type admin in both the Username and Password fields
then click the “Log In” button.

public network of your Tax-Aide facility.

it in the Wireless Password field. Otherwise, leave this field blank:
14. AP Setting. (You will likely need to scroll down to see this entry field.)
a. Local Network SSID. Enter your Tax-Aide network name. If you have not defined one
locally, enter TA.

your counselors will use to connect to the Tax-Aide secure WiFi network on their
computers.

15. Reboot the router. Press the “Finish” button to reboot the router. The router will take several
seconds to reboot:

and to the router itself. “This site can’t be reached” or “No internet” may be displayed in the
browser window.

will likely not be necessary.) Open a browser window and type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar

sure to remember them!)
You will be logged off and returned to the router administration login page.

IP address conflicts.

previous step.

rebooting, click OK to reboot the device now.” Go ahead and click the OK button. A progress bar
will display as the router reboots.
Accessing the Router after Configuration
After completing this configuration, to access the router’s Log In page, you will first need to connect to
its WIFi network (e.g. “TA”), then type the IP address you defined in step 19 in a browser window (e.g.
192.168.234.1).
