TP-Link Router Configuration Domain Has been Changed
TP-Link is a Network router equipment provider which offers wide range of normal and wi-fi routers for office networking needs and home too.
To configure wireless router, these router providers will allow their users to browse some domain instead of numeric IP address. Tp-link customers are forwarded to tplinklogin.net or tplinkextender.net for their router configuration. They use even local IP address 192.168.1.1 to access their router configuration administration panel.
Tplinklogin.net allows user to configure Tp-Link routers and tplinkextender.net allows user to configure TP-Link WI-FI Routers.
A Major Problem Starts Here:
Now the problem is TP-Link forgot to renew their domain which allows users to configure their router administrative panels for their equipments.
Both domains have now been re-registered utilizing a anonymous registration by an obscure company and are being offered available to be purchased online at US$2.5 Million each.
This most recent TP-Link oversight, which was initially spotted by Cybermoon CEO Amitay Dan, could lead its clients to potential issues.
Be that as it may, it appears like TP Link is not in any manner keen on purchasing back those domains, as Dan claims that the equipment seller is redesigning its manuals to expel the web address (tplinklogin.net or tplinkextender.net) out.
In last few years, the equipment seller has begun supplanting its tplinklogin.net area with tplinkwifi.net space, which is at present under its control. Along these lines, there is no immediate risk to TP-Link users.
But, shockingly, the tplinklogin.net and tplinkextender.net more often imprinted on the routers. Thus, clients getting to this domain on routers could wind up on a domain under an outsider’s control.
On the other hand, these third party (Who re-registered the domain) can get their hands on these domains, they could utilize them to convey malware, serve phishing pages educating clients to “download new firmware to your switch,” and demand gadget or online networking certifications from clients before diverting them to the switch’s nearby administrator board IP.
All that really matters:
Clients are encouraged to abstain from getting to their TP-Link routers utilizing the tplinklogin.net domains. Rather, utilize local IP address.
Dan has additionally suggested Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to hinder the influenced domains keeping in mind the end goal to keep its clients from being seized.
