Hi,

I just bought W8970. When I go to tplinkmodem.net or 192.168.1.1 to enter the admin panel, I enter the default username "admin" and password "admin".
However, it always fails to load with the message "Authentication failure".
At the backside, there is a label 'WPS Reset'. Above it are two buttons. One of which is inside and can only be pressed by a sharp object. And another one is like a normal button.
I pressed both separately for 10 seconds. I have also pressed them both together. I have also tried the 30-30-30 rule.

But I still cannot login using the default credentials.

Please help.

when you reset it, do you see all the lights go on and off quickly? i believe the hole is the reset one. Use a pin/paper clip to hold it till all lights go on and off quickly. Later try again. You should see TP-LINK in the login page, if no, it is not the right one.
