TP-LINK has lost the rights to the domain used to configure routers and amplifiers

    When configuring a router, as you know, you can access it by IP address or by a special domain that throws it to this same address. However, the problem is that the router manufacturer may for one reason or another lose access to this domain.

    Actually, this is what happened with the well-known brand TP-link - the company lost control of the tplinklogin.net and tplinkextender.net domains .



    According to Computerworld.com, at the moment the domains belong to an anonymous person not belonging to the manufacturer, and can be sold.

    In a press releaseTP-link representatives themselves write that since 2015 they really suspended (lost?) the effect of two domains, because use the newer tplinkwifi.net domain , where new users are transplanted.



    When “trying to access these (old) domains with connected TP-LINK devices, users will be automatically redirected to the correct device web interface”. However, “users with expired or expired devices are advised to use the IP address to access the device.”

    Considering that the old domain appears on many stickers on old routers, plus, in the documentation, the situation remains interesting and potentially creates a security hole. Yes, the old router will most likely just be redirected to its ip (i.e., nothing will change here). But visiting the site from the side can bring problems.
