Check the Physical connection between the modem and the router.
If you see a red message “WAN Port is unplugged” on the status page of the router,that means the modem is NOT plugged into the WAN Port of the router properly.Please plug it in and make sure the red message will be gone.
Clone the MAC address of your PC.
Some ISP will register the MAC address of your computer when you access the Internet for the first time through theirCable modem, if you add a router into your network to share your Internet connection, the ISP will not accept it as the MAC address is changed, so we need to clone your computer’s MAC address to the router.
1) Make sure that you are connected to the TP-Link Router with the computer that was originally connected to your Cable modem, then log on to the management click Network->MAC Clone on the left side.
2. Click Clone MAC Address,this function will clone your PC’s MAC address to WAN MAC Address of the router.
