Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address
to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change any time and
you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic
Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access
your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using domain name without checking and
remembering the IP address.
Note:
DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:
1. Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and password you set for the
router.
2. Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
Dynamic DNS
.
3. Select the DDNS
Service Provider
(NO-IP or DynDNS). If you don’t have a DDNS
account, select a service provider and click
Go to register
.

4. Enter the username, password and domain name of the account (such as

5. Click
Login and Save

Tips:
If you want to use a new DDNS account, please
logout
first, and then login with the new account.

Create Static Routes
Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator
or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing
information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.
Visit multiple networks and servers at the same time.
For example,
in a small office, my PC can surf the Internet, but
I also want to visit my company’s network. Now I have a switch
and another router. I connect the devices as shown in the
following figure so that the physical connection between my
PC and my company’s server is established. To surf the Internet
and visit my company’s network at the same time, I need to
configure the static routing.

PC 2

LAN: 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.100

Change the router’s LAN IP addresses to two different IP
addresses on the same subnet. Disable Router 2’s DHCP
function.
2.
Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and
password you set for the router.
3.
Go to

>
Advanced Routing
.
4.
Click
Add
and finish the settings according to the following
explanations:
Network Destination:
The destination IP address that you want
to assign to a static route. This IP address cannot be on the same
subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of the router. In the example,
the IP address of the company network is the destination IP
address, so here enter 172.30.30.1.
Subnet Mask:
Determines the destination network with the
destination IP address. If the destination is a single IP address,
enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the subnet mask of
the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination
network is a single IP, so here enter 255.255.255.255.
Default Gateway:
The IP address of the gateway device to which
the data packets will be sent. This IP address must be on the
same subnet with the router’s IP which sends out data. In the
example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router
2 and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be
192.168.0.2.
How can
I do that?

Interface:
Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out
data packets. In the example, the data are sent to the gateway
through the LAN port, so
LAN
should be selected.

entry you’ve set, the static routing is set successfully.
Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP
address to visit the company network.

Specify Wireless Settings
The router’s wireless network name (SSID) and password, and security option are preset
in the factory. The preset SSID and password can be found on the label of the router.
