    Hello, I have a problem with my internet connection, the following message is displayed all the time: the website requires logging in. I suspect that someone has hacked into me and has login details. I cannot access the administrator data change page, although I have an IP number.
    I attach a screenshot to show what the website looks like after entering. I also do not have the software for this router loaded, it starts from the board with only the router manual but no drivers. Nevertheless, the router works and after entering the data from the router, the connection worked for several days. Now, unfortunately, the page appears as in the attachment. Besides, that, for example, I could use the connection for an hour. Unfortunately not now. The one who broke is probably using it.
    Please help.

    I think I have already made these settings

    Added after 9 [minutes]:

    Everything is set up correctly.
    No, I haven't connected to anyone. The password is mine and my network name.

    Added after 13 [minutes]:

    I don't know if this is a problem but after performing network diagnostics, it showed "DHCP is not enabled for the network card.

    Reset the router to factory settings and configure again with the wizard.

    I did the reset on the 10 s pin device. Unfortunately, I do not have a wizard because there are no drivers anywhere. On the disc there is only a user manual, no drivers. It's a nightmare. I sit all day and nothing.

    And so I can not enter after entering the number in the search engine on the Tp login page link, so I could not configure anything.

    RP-N12 is a repeater, not a router. Go to cmd and enter ipconfig and show the result.

    And what is that supposed to give? Can't you see that a friend is connecting to a completely different device ?

    Like a bull, the page you open is that of some other router, specifically the Asus RP-N12 router. It is as if someone was looking for the reason why they cannot log in to their account at the PKO bank, and in the screenshot there was the login page https://login.aliorbank.pl
    And you would then suggest resetting the password on the hotline ... Why and what would it give, if the problem is a bad bank login page?

    What you advised only destroyed the configuration that now needs to be done from scratch.

    I suggest logging in to your own router, not someone else's. It should have a page that looks like this:
    Resetting and Securing TP-Link TL-WR702N Router: Addressing Unauthorized Access Issues

    Now, after destroying the configuration with reset, you need to search for a wifi network with the name on the router's label (with tplink in the name), connect using the password from the label and open the page http://192.168.0.254 as the user admin with the password admin.

    There are settings. Further attempts to hack someone else's Asus router are pointless.


    If it is not able to find its router by address / name, how to get to it if not restoring factory settings?
    Factory reset and going to the router page clicks the wifi creation wizard does a new network and everything.
    Has a new network, knows the name, password, etc.
    I believe that this is the fastest and best solution after all ...

    The problem was not resolved. The router was replaced with an older one that works

Why am I seeing an Asus login screen when I own a TP-Link TL-WR702N?

You’re connected to another device on Wi‑Fi, not your TP‑Link. The screenshot in the thread matched an Asus RP‑N12. Connect to the SSID from your TL‑WR702N label, then open 192.168.0.254. “Further attempts to hack someone else’s Asus router are pointless.” [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17203883]

How do I log in to the TL-WR702N after a factory reset?

Use Quick Setup in the browser. How-To:
  1. Connect to the default TP‑Link SSID on the router’s label.
  2. Browse to http://192.168.0.254.
  3. Log in with admin/admin and run the wizard, then change passwords. This model uses a browser-only setup, no drivers. [TP-Link TL-WR702N FAQ]

I can’t reach 192.168.0.254 — what should I try first?

Connect to the router’s SSID directly, then retry http://192.168.0.254. Disable VPNs and proxies. If needed, set a temporary static IP (e.g., 192.168.0.10/24) on your PC and try again. Finally, factory‑reset by holding Reset for 10 seconds and reconnect. [TP-Link: Can’t access router login (web interface)—Troubleshooting]

Windows says “DHCP is not enabled for the network adapter.” How do I fix it?

Open Network Adapter settings and set IPv4 to Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS automatically. Ensure the DHCP Client service is running. Reconnect to the TP‑Link SSID and confirm you get an IP and default gateway. Then browse to 192.168.0.254. [Microsoft, 2024]

Do I need drivers or a CD to set up the TL-WR702N?

No drivers are required. Configuration is entirely web‑based. The included CD may only contain the user manual. Connect to the device’s SSID, open 192.168.0.254, and follow Quick Setup to complete configuration. [TP-Link TL-WR702N Quick Installation Guide]

What are the default IP, username, and password for TL-WR702N?

Default management IP is 192.168.0.254. Default username is admin and default password is admin. Change both immediately after first login and store them securely. If you forget them, hold Reset for 10 seconds to restore defaults. [TP-Link TL-WR702N FAQ]

How can I confirm I’m on my router and not a neighbor’s network?

Match the SSID to the label on your TL‑WR702N. On Windows, run ipconfig and note the Default Gateway. It should be 192.168.0.254 after reset. If the gateway is different, you’re likely on another network. Reconnect to your TP‑Link SSID. [Windows commands: ipconfig]

Which operation mode should I use, and how does it affect login access?

AP mode gives your TL‑WR702N its own LAN and DHCP at 192.168.0.254. Repeater mode extends another Wi‑Fi and may adopt that network’s IP scheme. Edge case: in Client mode, the device can obtain an upstream IP and its UI may move; reconnect or reset to reach it. [TP-Link: TL-WR702N Operation Modes]

How do I secure the TL-WR702N after suspected unauthorized access?

Change admin password and SSID, then enable WPA2‑PSK with AES. Disable WPS, update firmware, and review the DHCP client list for unknown devices. Reboot after changes and keep credentials off defaults. This hardens the device against trivial takeover. [TP-Link: How to secure my wireless network]

What speed can I expect from the TL-WR702N?

It supports up to 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz 802.11n. Actual throughput is lower and depends on interference, distance, and mode. For best results, place it away from metal objects and overlapping channels. [TP-Link TL-WR702N product page]

Is the Asus RP-N12 a router or a repeater, and why does that matter?

The RP‑N12 is a Wi‑Fi range extender (repeater), not a router. Its login page and addressing differ from TP‑Link’s. If you reach an Asus extender page, you aren’t on your TL‑WR702N, so you cannot configure it there. Switch to your TP‑Link SSID. [ASUS RP-N12 product page]

The CD has no wizard; how do I run setup anyway?

Open a browser and run Quick Setup at 192.168.0.254 after connecting to the router’s SSID. Everything is done in the web interface. Finish by changing the admin password and Wi‑Fi security to WPA2‑PSK AES. [TP-Link TL-WR702N Quick Installation Guide]
