You manage it in a browser at `tplinkwifi.net`, and reboot, rename or update it from the My Singtel app. Singtel WiFi 7 Router Sign in `tplinkwifi.net` or `192.168.88.1` App My Singtel app (iOS and Android), under **Quick access › Manage WiFi**. Password The login password is printed on the label on the bottom of the router, along with the default Wi-Fi name and password. Models HB611-SGST, RTM7230T-D171-SGST, TP-Link HB810, TP-Link HB813 **Checked 1 November 2026.** Paths checked on Singtel’s HB611-SGST help pages, whose screenshots show the TP-Link HB810 interface, and in TP-Link’s HB-series mesh user guide (REV1.0.0). The router starts in access point mode, with menus under **Setting**; in router mode they move under **Advanced** or **Basic**. The Askey RTM7230T-D171-SGST has a different interface, noted where Singtel documents it. ## Sign in to the Singtel WiFi 7 Router 1. Join the router’s Wi-Fi using the details on its label, or plug in with Ethernet. 2. Open `https://tplinkwifi.net` or `https://192.168.88.1` in a browser. 3. Type the password from the label and click **Log in**. 4. To change it, go to **Setting › System Tools › Administration** and use **Account Management**. On the Askey RTM7230T-D171-SGST, sign in at `https://cap.singtel/` with the user name and password on its bottom label. To factory reset the HB611-SGST, hold the reset button on the bottom for at least 5 seconds. This erases your settings. ## Restart it properly 1. Log in to the My Singtel app. 2. Under **Quick access**, tap **Manage WiFi**. 3. Tap the reboot button and follow the instructions. The light flashes yellow while the router restarts and turns green once it is back online. Don’t use the reset button to restart. ### In the browser 1. Sign in at `tplinkwifi.net`. 2. Click **Reboot** at the top of the page. ### Schedule a restart 1. Go to **Setting › System Tools › Reboot Schedule**. 2. Turn on **Auto Reboot** and set the **Time**. 3. Click **Save**. The schedule runs on the router’s clock, so check **System Tools › Time Settings** first. **Kilobat can help.** Kilobat Pro’s [router check-up](https://kilobat.app/docs/home-network#router-checkup) learns how fast this router usually answers, says when a restart is due, and checks the next day whether it helped. ## Update the firmware 1. In the My Singtel app, tap **Manage WiFi** under **Quick access**. 2. Find **Update firmware** and tap **Update**. 3. Choose the broadband service if you have more than one, and tick the checkbox. 4. Select the device with the yellow prompt, tap **Update firmware**, then **confirm**. The light flashes green while firmware installs, then the router restarts and turns green after about two minutes. Don’t switch it off. Singtel provides security updates for the HB611-SGST until 28 August 2027. ### In the browser 1. Sign in and go to **Setting › System Tools › Firmware Upgrade**. 2. Under **Online Upgrade**, click **Check for Upgrades**. 3. If a newer version appears, click **Upgrade**. Or download the file from Singtel’s firmware page and use **Local Upgrade**: click **Browse**, tick the device and click **Upgrade**. [The maker’s firmware download page](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/download-latest-firmware) ## See connected devices 1. Sign in and open **Setting › Network Map**. 2. Click the clients icon to list every connected device. 3. For Wi-Fi details such as security and packets sent, open **Setting › Wireless › Statistics**. In router mode, the same map is under **Basic › Network Map**. **Kilobat can help.** Kilobat’s [new-device alerts](https://kilobat.app/docs/home-network#new-devices) tell you when a device you haven’t seen joins your home Wi-Fi. **Tools › Devices** lists what answers on the network, and you can name each one. ## UPnP and port forwarding UPnP and port forwarding exist only in router mode. In access point mode, the default, the ONR or your own router handles them instead. 1. In router mode, sign in at `tplinkwifi.net`. 2. Go to **Advanced › NAT Forwarding › UPnP**. 3. Toggle UPnP on or off. TP-Link turns UPnP on by default. It lets any app on your network open ports without asking, which malware can use too. Leave it on only if a console or call app needs it. ### NAT-PMP Neither Singtel nor TP-Link documents NAT-PMP on this router. **Kilobat can help.** On supported routers, Kilobat’s [call reports](https://kilobat.app/video-calls) can read available traffic counters, read-only, to identify another device that was busy when a call froze. Correlation does not prove the cause. Kilobat never opens ports. ## Prioritise calls and gaming QoS is also a router-mode feature. 1. Sign in and go to **Advanced › QoS**. 2. Turn on QoS and enter the upload bandwidth of your plan. 3. In the **QoS Rule List**, pick a priority and click **Add**. 4. Click scan, choose the device, click **OK**, then **Save**. Optional **IPTV QoS** reserves bandwidth for IPTV traffic. **Kilobat can help.** Run Kilobat’s [stutter test](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/test-call-stutter) before and after you change priorities, to see whether calls really got smoother. ## 2.4 and 5 GHz, and the channel Band steering, on by default, moves devices to the best band and node. A separate MLO network lets Wi-Fi 7 devices use several bands at once. 1. Sign in and go to **Setting › Wireless › Wireless Settings**. 2. Turn **Band Steering** on or off at the top. 3. Choose **2.4GHz**, **5GHz**, **6GHz** or **MLO** and set its name and password. 4. Click **Save**. In the My Singtel app, turn off auto WiFi switching before giving 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz different names. ### Change the channel 1. On the same page, choose the band. 2. Pick a **Channel** and, if needed, a **Channel Width**. 3. Click **Save**. TP-Link advises leaving the channel on **Auto** unless you have interference. On the RTM7230T-D171-SGST, Singtel’s guide uses **Wireless** and **Apply**, and the router reboots. **Kilobat can help.** Kilobat shows which band and channel your Mac is on, and `kilobat channels` suggests the least crowded channel. More in [crowded Wi-Fi channels](https://kilobat.app/guides/wifi-channel-congestion) and [Wi-Fi on a Mac](https://kilobat.app/wifi-analyzer-mac). ## Mesh: which node a device uses 1. Set up the extra Singtel WiFi 7 Router next to the main one and wait for a flashing blue light. 2. Connect a LAN port on the main router to any port on the new one with a cable. 3. Wait until both lights are green, then move the new router into place. A solid yellow light on the second router means a weak link to the first; move them closer. ### Pair with WPS instead 1. Hold **WPS** on the main router for about 5 seconds, then on the new one. 2. Wait at least 5 minutes until both lights turn green. ### Check the mesh 1. Sign in and open **Setting › Network Map**. 2. Click the mesh devices icon to see every router in the mesh. **Kilobat can help.** When your Mac moves to another node or band, Kilobat’s Health says so, so a weaker node isn’t taken for a router problem. See [find a better Wi-Fi spot](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/find-better-wifi-spot). ## Guest network 1. Sign in and go to **Setting › Guest Network**. 2. In the **Wireless** section, tick **Enable** for 2.4GHz/5GHz or 6GHz. 3. Enter a network name, choose the **Security** type and set a password. 4. Click **Save**. Guests get internet without seeing your main network. The **Network Map** has a switch to turn the guest network on and off. **Kilobat can help.** Kilobat can show a network as a QR code, so guests join with their phone’s camera: [share Wi-Fi with a QR code](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/share-wifi-qr-code). ## DNS settings Neither Singtel nor TP-Link’s HB-series guide shows how to choose DNS servers for your devices. Set DNS on the Mac instead. **Kilobat can help.** Before you change DNS, [compare resolvers with Kilobat](https://kilobat.app/guides/recipes/pick-faster-dns) to see which answers fastest from your home. ## Connection status and logs 1. Sign in and open **Setting › Network Map**; scroll down for the **Wireless** panel. 2. **Setting › System Tools › System Log** lists events; pick a type and level, then click **Refresh**. 3. Click **Save Log** to keep a copy for Singtel support. The light tells you a lot: green is online, solid blue is set up with no internet, and flashing red is a lost connection. In router mode, status is under **Advanced › Status** and ping tests under **Advanced › System Tools › Diagnostics**. **Kilobat can help.** When the line keeps dropping, Kilobat’s [provider report](https://kilobat.app/docs/health#report) lists outages, latency and speed tests against your plan, ready to send to your provider. ## Manuals and downloads - [Singtel WiFi 7 Router (HB611-SGST) quick installation guide (PDF)](https://cdn2.singteldigital.com/content/dam/singtel/personal/support/broadband/singtel-wi-fi-7/WiFi%207%20HB611%20sgst%20installation%20guide.pdf) - [Singtel WiFi 7 Router (HB611-SGST) LED troubleshooting](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/troubleshoot-by-router/singtel-wifi-7-router-hb611-sgst) - [TP-Link HB810 mesh user guide (PDF)](https://www.tp-link.com/sg/document/15664/) - [Firmware downloads](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/download-latest-firmware) Links go to the maker’s own pages. ## Questions **Where do I find the router password?** On the label on the bottom of the router. The same label has the default Wi-Fi name and password. **Why can’t I find UPnP, QoS or port forwarding?** The router starts in access point mode, where those pages don’t exist. They appear only in router mode, under **Advanced**. **Which address opens the RTM7230T-D171-SGST?** Singtel’s guide uses `https://cap.singtel/`, with the user name and password from the label on the bottom. ## Sources - [Singtel: Change WiFi name and password on the WiFi 7 Router (HB611-SGST)](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/change-wifi-name-password/singtel-wifi-7-router-hb611-sgst) - [Singtel: Change WiFi name and password on the WiFi 7 Router (RTM7230T-D171-SGST)](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/change-wifi-name-password/singtel-wifi-7-router-rtm7230t-d171-sgst) - [Singtel: Change WiFi network name and password](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/troubleshoot/change-wifi-name-password) - [Singtel: Download latest firmware](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/download-latest-firmware) - [Singtel: WiFi 7 Router (HB611-SGST) LED troubleshooting](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/troubleshoot-by-router/singtel-wifi-7-router-hb611-sgst) - [Singtel: WiFi 7 Router (HB611-SGST) quick installation guide (PDF)](https://cdn2.singteldigital.com/content/dam/singtel/personal/support/broadband/singtel-wi-fi-7/WiFi%207%20HB611%20sgst%20installation%20guide.pdf) - [Singtel: WiFi Care (reboot and update from the My Singtel app)](https://www.singtel.com/personal/products-services/lifestyle-services/my-smart-network/wificare) - [Singtel: Troubleshoot by router](https://www.singtel.com/personal/support/broadband/troubleshoot-by-router) - [TP-Link: HB810 mesh user guide (PDF)](https://www.tp-link.com/sg/document/15664/) - [TP-Link: HB810 support and downloads (Singapore)](https://www.tp-link.com/sg/support/download/hb810/) Checked on 1 November 2026. ## See what your router can’t tell you Kilobat is a Mac menu-bar app that watches the network from your side: which app is using it, whether the Wi-Fi, the router or the provider is slow, and why a call froze.
