450Mbps Dual-Band
Wireless N Gigabit Router using

TCP/IP Configuration
The default domain name of the Router is
http://tplinklogin.net
and the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default
values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router and then you can configure the IP address for
your PC by the following method: Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "
Obtain an IP address
automatically
" mode on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to
Appendix B: "Configuring the PC”.
Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the
PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the
command prompt
to verify the network connection
between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type
, and then press
Enter
.

Note:
If the Router's IP address is 192.168.0.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254.
3.
Is the default LAN IP of the Router correct?
)
Note:
If the LAN IP of the modem connected with your router is 192.168.0.x, the default LAN IP of the
Router will automatically switch from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 to avoid IP conflict. Therefore, in
order to verify the network connection between your PC and the Router, you can open a
command prompt, and type
ping 192.168.1.1
, and then press
Enter
