About Afrihost
Afrihost is a South African provider supplying TP-Link, Huawei and D-Link fibre routers.
Reaching the login page
The admin page on most Afrihost units answers at http://192.168.0.1. If that address does not load, the router is whatever your computer lists as its default gateway — ipconfig on Windows or ipconfig getoption en0 router on a Mac will tell you.
The TP-Link EX511 has no printed admin password: you create one the first time you open 192.168.0.1. The label on the back holds the Wi-Fi details only.
If the Afrihost password has already been changed
There is a recessed reset button on the back or underneath that needs a straightened paperclip. Hold it in for thirty seconds with the unit powered on. Let go when the lights change pattern, and give it a couple of minutes to come back up.
The catch with an ISP-supplied unit is that a reset also clears the broadband credentials, and on some lines the router will not reconnect until those are re-entered. Find them before you press anything, or be ready to ring the provider.
