Overview
TP-LINK Wireless Configuration Utility is the official management software for wireless networking accessories built by TP-LINK. Built from the ground up to take full advantage of the hardware capabilities of modern networking hardware, this utility represents a core management tool for establishing wireless network connections, setting up access credentials when connecting to encrypted networks, and much more. While the basic driver packages of TP-Link devices include basic connectivity features that are showcased by modern Windows OS releases such as Windows 7 (such as basic scanning and joining to active networks), this standalone app enables users to take total control over their wireless networking.
The entire application comes in a lightweight installation package that can be easily downloaded and installed on any home desktop or laptop PC. After the short and uneventful installation procedure, users are encouraged to restart their PC and then turn on TP-LINK Wireless Configuration Utility for the first time.
Once the app is up and running, users can start exploring its interface and available tools. The app features five main tabs for controlling all the aspects of wireless network connectivity – “Status” (which include network SSID, IP, and Mac addresses, encryption type listing, rated speed of transfer and most importantly Signal Strenght bar), “WPS” (for automatic configuration of wireless networks), “Network” (for manual joining wireless networks), “Profile” (for easier management of different wireless connections at the home, office and public places) and “Advanced”.
In this last tab, users can set if they prefer to control their wireless networking services via Windows connectivity tools or via the Wireless Configuration Utility application and set the Power Save mode option that is very useful for laptop users. The app can also transform your wireless emitter into the Access Point mode of operation, saving you the trouble of purchasing additional AP/router hardware for home or work offices.
All in all, TP-LINK Wireless Configuration Utility is an all-in-one management utility for all users of TP-Link wireless hardware. The app is 100% FREE and comes without any ads or premium features. It is optimized for use on all modern versions of Windows OS (from Windows XP to Windows 10 and Windows 11).
