Per the usual, 18 months from now, I’ll reset the router and totally forget how I got it working, so this post is more for me than all y’all. I’m assuming you know to set a different un/pw for your router if you’re actually able to follow these instructions.

Clear the manual setting from your DHCP, and permit the machine to be assigned an internal IP from the DHCP server in the router. Open your ethernet connection and go to TCP/IP.

So, here are the easy steps to fix it if you have plugged in a TP-LINK router on a Mac home network and you can’t get it set up.

It is possible that some USB dongles may need slight changes to their settings. I had to clone the previous MAC address, and finally, I had static internal IPs set on most of my devices in the house including the machine I was installing the router on. A routed wireless access point can be created using the inbuilt wireless features of the Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi Zero W, or by using a suitable USB wireless dongle that supports access point mode.

First, I couldn’t get to the router configuration page on a browser. I have a Mac Mini that operates as a home server, and I had some nonstandard configuration issues to deal with. I liked the reviews, which said that TP-LINK routers were dead easy to set up. I had a 5-year old Vizio router that did yeoman’s service, but had started to drop connections and in general behave like an amnesiac hash addict. TP-LINK routers are best sellers on Amazon, and I like my new one a LOT.
