Router troubles plz help

Hey i am having troubles accessing my router its a TP-link TL-WR841N. I have never had troubles logging into routers until this one but i did not set this on up but still everything i do i cant get into it im wired, tried the combination of 192.168 etc and nothing. I want to do a factory reset but then im worried about not being able to get into it to set the wireless back up and my family would be very upset to say the least so any help would be great thx.

@nikeswoosh: Moved to Hardware forum

@nikeswoosh:

Start --> type in "cmd" --> type in "ipconfig /all" --> the default gateway is the router

@GTR12: ya done that too.... and thx mod been awhile since ive posted anything

@nikeswoosh: So you know the IP of the router?

@GTR12: yes ive tried it many times and nothing

@nikeswoosh: tried both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 and nothing im stumped cuz in the past ive never had problems i always was able to get into routers so idk

You need to go to http://tplinklogin.net/

to setup the router first

login is admin and password should be admin as well.

reading the manual helps.

@04dcarraher: ehhh If u would have read my post the router is already setup i cannot get back in!....Even that tplinklogin dosent work but i am on the internet as we speak idk..... im gonna hard reset but just worried i wont be able to get back in to redo my wireless....thx for trying tho

You really don't know what ipconfig means do you?

I said that to pinpoint the IP address of the router, which you didn't do or are unaware of how to read it. The default gateway IS the IP address, it doesn't have to be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, it can also be 172.16.x.x or 10.x.x.x

Find out what the IP is exactly, not "I've tried these IP's and it doesn't work", no-one can help you otherwise.

192.168.1.1 should be it's default address, also password and username is admin.

Are you sure you're connected to the same router that you're talking about? are you connected with lan cable or wireless trying to access it? worst case scenario HR/FR it and set everything again

If you borked the setup and changed the IP or subnet you can always reset it and log in with the default info which can surely be obtained from the manual/website.
