For most of the routers available in the market, the main problem arises when the firmware is not up to date. Outdated firmware can be the root cause of so many errors faced by users, but sometimes, even after updating the latest version of the firmware, your TP-link router does not work properly.

The possible reasons behind the problem could be incorrect firmware versions and issues with web interface access.

In such cases, you should consider checking the IP address of your people on the router, trying to ping the router, and performing a firmware recovery procedure.
