11. 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 its web-based 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
page.
3.
Type in a new IP address appropriate to your needs.
4.
Leave the
Subnet Mask
as the default settings.
5.
Keep IGMP Snooping as enabled by default. IGMP Snooping is the process of listening to IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) network traffic. The function prevents hosts on a local network from receiving traffic for a
multicast group they have not explicitly joined.
6.
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 them.
11. 2.
Configure to Support IPTV Service
IPTV is the abbreviation of Internet Protocol Television. The service can only be delivered through the Internet, and our router
provides a specific LAN port for IPTV.
By automatically seperating IPTV from Internet surfing, we guarantee you a high quality of vedio streaming and a high speed
of Internet surfing.

Customize Your Network Settings
Configure the router to enable Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Services.
For example
, I already bought IPTV service, but this service can only be delivered through the
Internet. Therefore, I need to configure my router first.
1. Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
2. Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
IPTV
to open the configuration page.
3. Configure IPTV settings:
1 )
Select the
Enable IPTV
check box.
2 )
Select the appropriate
Mode
according to your ISP. Select
Bridge
if your ISP is not listed and
no other parameters are required, and then skip to substep 4. Select
Custom
if your ISP is not
listed but provides necessary parameters.
3 ) After you have selected a mode, the necessary parameters are predetermined. You can
perform other configuration, e.g. enter the
IPTV Multicast VLAN ID
and select the
IPTV
Multicast VLAN Priority
in
Russia
mode according to your ISP.
4 )
S
elect the
IGMP Proxy
version, either V2 or V3, according to the information provided by your
ISP.
5 )
For Russia, Singapore-ExStream, Malaysia-Unifi and Malaysia-Maxis mode, connect device to the
predetermined LAN port. For Bridge and Custom mode, select a LAN port as the IPTV port and connect
the set-top box to the corresponding port.
6 )
Click
Save
.
Your IPTV setup is done now! You may need other configurations on your set-top box before
enjoying your TV.
11. 3.
Specify DHCP Server Settings
By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and the router acts as a DHCP server; it
dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client devices from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of DHCP Server
if necessary, and you can reserve LAN IP address for specified client device.
1.
Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
2.
Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
DHCP Server.

Customize Your Network Settings
To specify the IP address that the router assigns
1.
Make sure that the
Enable DHCP Server
checkbox is selected.
2.
Enter the starting and ending IP address in the
IP Address Pool
.
3.
Enter other parameters if the ISP offers, the Default Gateway is automatically filled, which is the same as the LAN IP
address of the router.
4.
Click
Save
to make the settings effective.
To reserve an IP address for a specified client device
1.
Click the
Add
button.

Customize Your Network Settings
2.
Enter the MAC address of the device for which you want to reserve IP address.
3.
Specify the IP address which will be reserved by the router.
4.
Check to
Enable this entry
and click
OK
to make the settings effective.
Note:
You can also appoint IP addresses within a specified range to devices of the same type by using
Condition Pool
feature. For example, you
can assign IP addresses within the range (192.168.0.50 to192.168.0.80) to Camera devices, thus facilitating the network management.
11. 4.
Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs (Internet service provieders) 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
need 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, in no need of checking and remembering the IP address.
Note:
DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private Internet IP address (such as 192.168.0.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
(Dyndns or NO-IP). 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.
5.
Click
Login
and click
Save
.
Tips:
If you want to use a new DDNS account, please
Logout
first, then log in with the new account.

11. 5.
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 multiple 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 achieved. To surf
the Internet and visit my company’s network at the same time, I need to configure the static routing.
PC 1
PC 2
Router 2
Router 1
Router 3
192.168.0.100
LAN: 192.168.0.2
WAN: 172.30.30.100
172.30.30.1
1. 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
Network
>
Advanced Routing
.
4. Click
Add
to add a new static routing entry.
5. Finish the settings according to the following explanations:
