We have a tp link router, I log on with my laptop and the browser takes me straight to microtik router v6.34.2 page and nowhere else. I use the default login and password on the back of tplink router and get denied access. It is starting to piss me off big time, what is the go with tp link router being hijacked by microtik? How do I sort this?
Net works fine on all other devices on router
Clearly, you have a router that is redirecting you to the MikroTik. However, you have given us no helpful information to understand your network. Is this a home, business, hotspot? Are you a consumer or an ISP or a net admin? If you don’t have the password to the router, then I’m assuming it’s not your router… Maybe ask the network admin for assistance? if it’s just a single laptop doing this, then maybe you have proxy settings that are forcing you to that IP.
I am a consumer, the router is ours and the password is on the back of the router which we have had since new. Doesn’t matter what browser I use, it just goes to MicroTik router log in page. NO proxy being used.
So, you have…
Internet ↔ Mikrotik ↔ TPLink
?
sounds like someone set a NAT rule and changed the password.
the laptop connects to the tp link but every time I go to use browser the only page available is microtik log in.
Unfortunately, with the amount of information that you can provide, I don’t think anyone here will be able to help you. You would need to give far more detail about the network and how things are configured and connected in order to even begin to figure out what the issue is.
Your TP Link router may be functioning in AP mode, meaning that it isn’t working as a router anymore and every connected device is actually a part of the network that the TP Link is connected to (which has the Mikrotik router as the gateway). You’ll need to either reset it to defaults or find out what the TP Link router’s LAN IP is. (In AP mode, the TP Link will take an IP address from the DHCP server of the network it is connected to, i.e. the Mikrotik). If you can’t figure out the IP address that the TP Link router has been assigned, you may need to contact whomever is responsible for the Mikrotik router (whomever set it up, maybe your ISP) and give them the MAC address of the TP Link, and they can check the DHCP leases to find out what IP address the TP Link has.
I do not understand why you bought Mikrotik if You have working TP-link? Mikrotik configuration is complicated even for experienced users so throw out Mikrotik and be happy with TPlink - it do the same job because you will not need such powerful configuration abilities. If it is not enough TPlink stock firmware upload custom for example based on openWRT. If You need Mikrotik why You still use TPlink? Why do you make your home network such complicated?
Reliability and simplicity is the power
It sounds like the OP is getting the default Hotspot page.
The best thing to do is to get Winbox, connect directly to the Mikrotik, and use discovery to log in with the Mikrotik’s MAC address and go into the IP > Hotspot menu and disable the hotspot.
