2 . On your wireless enabled device, look for the SSID in the list of available wireless networks .
Select this SSID and your device will ask for the password . Enter the password on the back of
the router .
3 . To check that the connection between your device and the TP-Link Nano Router is working,
open up a browser window in your device and in the address bar (where you enter a web
address such as www.google.com) enter the numbers 192.168.0.254. You should be asked for
a username and a password. Enter “admin” for both. You should then see the TP-Link Nano
Router control panel screen .
4 . Plug in the Ethernet cable from the driver into the TP-Link Nano Router . The driver front panel
should display the IP address that the router has assigned to the driver on the LCD display for
5 seconds . If you miss this, the IP address of the driver is available by navigating to either the
status menu or the main menu .
5 . Now in the address bar of your browser, enter the IP address that you read from the driver. You
should see the web interface of the D Series driver .
N.B. Remember that the username of the driver login page is “admin” and the password
is “ampetronic”.
Wireless Network Troubleshooting
1. It was working and I could see the driver interface but now it is frozen.
Some devices test a wireless connection for a route to the internet and automatically change to
a different data connection if the internet is not available . Check that the wireless connection is
still connected to the TP-Link Nano Router . If all else fails, turn off your mobile data so that your
device has to use the TP-Link Nano Router .
2. Refresh the web page.
The signal from the Nano Router may be lost as you walk around . Refreshing the page will
force your device to reconnect with the Nano Router .
3. Try to access the Nano Router Configuration page at 192.168.0.254.
If you cannot access this you will not be able to access the driver .
4. I can see the web interface but it responds really slowly.
The D-Series web interface does many tasks a second and older phones struggle to maintain
a reasonable update speed . We recommend a multicore Android phone or an iPhone 5 as a
minimum level of performance for a good user experience .
5. I run out of Wi-Fi range before I have covered all of the area of the loop.
A building with lots of metal in it construction will reduce the Wi-Fi range of the TP-Link Nano
Router to less than 25m . Other routers will not have much more range than this as the radio
frequency power output has a legal maximum limit .
It is suggested that a long CAT-5 cable is used to connect the driver to the TP-Link Nano Router .
The TP-Link Nano Router can then be in the middle of the loop area and the range will nearly
always be sufficient for the loop being commissioned. In this case we recommend that the TP-
Link Nano Router be powered from a Lithium phone “power pack” that is designed to recharge
mobile devices through a USB type ‘A’ socket . The TP-Link Nano router, a suitable power pack
and a long CAT-5 cable are available from Ampetronic (order code: D-WIFI)
