Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your TL-WR840N 300Mbps
Wireless N Router using
Quick Setup
Wizard
within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default domain name of the TL-WR840N 300Mbps Wireless N Router is
http://tplinklogin.net
,
the default IP address is 192.168.0.1, 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 in the following two ways.
Configure the IP address manually
1)
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,
please refer to
Appendix B: "Configuring the PC"
.
2)
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.0.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1 (The
Router's default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically
1)
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”.
2)
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
.
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router has been established well.

Please check the connection following these steps:
1.
Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
Note:
The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of LAN ports which you link to on the Router and LEDs on your PC's adapter
should be lit.
2.
Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
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
.
