AX1800 - Reimaging Instructions

Follow these instructions to reimage the TP-Link AX1800 router using the KSL configuration.

You will need a copy of the KSL config files (available to technicians only). If you need a copy of these files, please get in touch.

  1. Power up the router and connect your computer with a network cable to one of the yellow network ports on the router.

  2. Open a web browser and navigate to tplinkwifi.net. When the page opens, you will be prompted to create an administrator password.

  13. Once the restore is completed, you will be redirected to the updated login page. (Note that the temporary tempadmin1 password that you set will not work on this page, as the password is changed as part of the config restore process.)
