I want to: 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. How can I do that? 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.
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. Chapter 11 .
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.
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. I want to: 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.
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.
2. Go to Basic > Wireless. To enable or disable the wireless function: The wireless radio is enabled by default, if you want to disable the 2.4GHz, 5GHz-1, or 5GHz-2 wireless function, just clear the corresponding Enable checkbox.

To change the working region for the router: Select the Region from the drop-down list and click Save. Note: Per FCC regulations, all Wi-Fi products marketed in the U.S. is locked to the U.S. region. To use the smart connect function The smart connect function helps devices run faster by assigning them to best wireless bands based on actual conditions to balance network demands. 1. Select the Smart Connect checkbox, and click Save. 2. Keep the default or set a new SSID and password, and click Save.
To change the security option: In the Wireless section, select an option from the Security dropdown list. The router provides four security options, No Security, WPA/WPA2 - Personal (Recommended), WPA/WPA2 - Enterprise and WEP. We recommend you don’t change the default settings unless necessary. If you select other options, configure the related parameters according to the help page. In addition • Mode - Select a transmission mode according to your wireless client devices. 802.11b/g/n mixed, 802.
• 2. PIN Code: Enter the client’s PIN, and click Connect.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set time for 5GHz-1 and 5GHz-2 wireless networks. 1. If you just set time for one wireless band, the other wireless band is still always on, so set time for both of the two bands to schedule your whole wireless network. 2. The wireless LED (2.4GHz , 5GHz-1, and 5GHz-2 ) will turn off if the corresponding wireless network is disabled. 3.
3 ) In the IPSec Connection Name column, specify a name. 4 ) In the Remote IPSec Gateway (URL) column, Enter Site B’s WAN IP address. 5 ) To configure Site A’s LAN: In the Tunnel access from local IP addresses column, here we take Subnet Address as an example. Then input the LAN IP range of Site A in the IP Address for VPN column, and input Subnet Mask of Site A. 6 ) To configure Site B’s LAN: In the Tunnel access from remote IP addresses column, here we take Subnet Address as an example.
9 ) Leave the Advanced Settings as default value. Then click OK to save. 3. Configuration on Site B (remote network). Refer to step 2 configuration on Site A and make sure that Site A and Site B use the same Pre-shared keys and Perfect Forward Secrecy settings. 4. The Status column will change to UP if the VPN connection has been set up successfully. 5. Check the VPN connection. You can ping site B’ LAN IP from your computer in site A to verify that the IPSec VPN connection is set up correctly.
