Customize Your Network Settings
12. 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 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 your TP-Link ID or the password you set for
the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN.
3. Type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs. And leave the Subnet Mask as
the default settings.
4. 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 these features.
12. 2. Set Up Link Aggregation
The Link Aggregation feature combines two ports together to make a single
highbandwidth data path, thus sustaining a higher-speed and more stable wired
network.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for
the router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN.
3. Toggle on Link Aggregation to enable it and reboot the router to apply the settings.
The LAN2 and LAN3 ports will be used for Link Aggregation.
