12. 1.

Change the LAN Settings

The router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.0.1, which you can use to log in to

the web management page. The LAN IP address together with the Subnet Mask also

defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address conflicts with

another device on your local network or your network requires a specific IP subnet, you

can change it.

1. Visit

http://tplinkwifi.net

, and log in with the username and password you set for the

router.

2. Go to

Advanced

>

Network

>

LAN

.

3. Type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs. And leave the

Subnet Mask

as

the default settings.

4. Click

Save

.

Note:

If you have set the Virtual Server, DMZ or DHCP address reservation, and the new LAN IP address is not in the same

subnet with the old one, then you should reconfigure these features.

are predetermined. You can perform other configuration,

IPTV

Multicast VLAN Priority

in

Russia

mode according to your

ISP.

Russia,

Singapore-ExStream,

predetermined LAN port. For Bridge and Custom mode,

select the

from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of the DHCP Server if necessary,

and you can reserve LAN IP addresses for specified client devices.

1. Visit

http://tplinkwifi.net

, and log in with the username and password you set for the

router.

IP Address Pool

and is the same as the LAN IP address of the router.
