Specify Your Network Settings
•
AP Isolation:
Select this checkbox to enable the AP Isolation feature that allows you to
confine and restrict all wireless devices on your network from interacting with each
other, but still able to access the Internet. AP isolation is disabled by default.
•
WDS:
Select this checkbox to enable the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Bridging
feature to allow the router to bridge with another access point (AP) in a wireless local
area network (WLAN). Refer to
Appendix B: Troubleshooting
for detailed instructions.

Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs (Internet service providers) 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 WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:
1°
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
, and log in with the 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 (such as lisa.ddns.
net).
5°
Click
Login
and
Save
.
Tips:
If you want to use a new DDNS account, please log out first, then log in with the new account.

Create Static Routes
A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach
a specific host or network. Data from one point to another will always follow the same
path regardless of other considerations. Normal Internet usage does not require this
setting to be configured.
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 server. 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.
Company’s server
My PC
Router 2

192.168.1.100
LAN: 192.168.1.2
WAN: 172.30.30.100
172.30.30.1

Make sure the routers use different LAN IP addresses on the
same subnet. Disable Router 2’s DHCP function.

Visit

you set for the router.

Click
Add
to add a new static routing entry. Finish the settings
according to the following explanations:
•
Destination IP:
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 enters 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 enters 255.255.255.255.
•
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 the data. In the
example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of
Page 64 / 97

Chapter 11
Specify Your Network Settings
Router 2 and then to the Server, so the gateway should be
192.168.1.2
•
Interface:
Determined by the port (LTE/LAN) that sends out the
data packets. In the example, the data is sent to the gateway
through the LTE port, so LTE should be selected.

Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP
address to visit the company network.

Set up a
VPN Connection
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established across the public network,
generally via the Internet. However, the private network is a logical network without
any physical network lines, so it is called Virtual Private Network.
With the wide application of the Internet, more and more data are needed to be shared
through the Internet. Connecting the local network to the Internet directly, though can
allow the data exchange, will cause the private data to be exposed to all the users on
the Internet.
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology is developed and used to establish
the private network through the public network, which can provides a secure
communication to a remote computer or remote network, and guarantee a secured
data exchange. IPSec is one of the major implementations of VPNs.
Establish an IPSec VPN tunnel to connect two LANs via Internet so
that the hosts in different remote LANs are able to communicate
with each other as if they are in the same LAN.
For example
, I am the network administrator of a regional office,
I need to let my office staff to visit the headquarters’ servers and
resources, and vice versa. I know that the router in my office and
the device in headquarters both support IPSec VPN feature, so I
decide to set up a VPN connection with the headquarter office.
The following diagram is a typical VPN topology. Here Site A
refers to regional office’s network (local network). And Site B
refers to the headquarters’ network (remote network) which I
want to connect to.
Done!
