What can I do to monitor my router?

What is the TP-Link Smart Connect feature and how do I enable it?
TP-Link Smart Connect allows the router to automatically assign connected devices to the WiFi band that provides the fastest speed. By balancing the load and assigning devices to the most appropriate band, Smart Connect can reduce delays and interruptions.
When Smart Connect is enabled, the router’s 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same SSID (network name) and password. You can enjoy a seamless connection between 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.
Mobile app: Tools > Wireless | Web management page > Wireless tab |
When should I enable Smart Connect?
We recommend enabling the Smart Connect feature:
- When you are not sure which frequency band or which location provides the best wireless signal
Wireless signals cannot stay stable all the time. Thus, sometimes it is necessary to change the frequency to get a better signal. If you are not sure which frequency band or which location provides the best, just relax and try the Smart Connect on your TP-Link router.
- When you have devices released at different times.
Devices released at different periods have different compatibility with the 5GHz wireless network. Some older devices can only work well at the 2.4GHz wireless network. If you have many older devices mixed with the newer devices in the wireless network, your 2.4GHz network might be overloaded for piling too many devices on it. Enable Smart Connect to allow the router to automatically choose the most efficient band so that every device can reach its full potential.
How do I change the SSID and WiFi password of the router?
You can change the SSID and password of your router in the mobile app or web management page.
Mobile app: Tools > Wireless | Web management page > Wireless tab |
