3. Enter the old password, then a new password twice (both case-sensitive).
4. Click Save to make the settings effective.
5. Use the new password for future logins.
13. 7. 2. Local Management
You can control the local devices’ authority to manage the AP via Local Management
feature. By default all local connected devices are allowed to manage the AP. You can
also specify one device to manage the AP and enable local management over a more
secure way, HTTPS.
Follow the steps below to allow only the specific device to manage the AP via the local
management over HTTPS.
1. Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the AP.
2. Go to
Advanced > System Tools > Administration, and locate the Local Management
section.
3. Enable
Local Management via HTTPS and keep the Port for HTTP and Port for
HTTPS
as the default settings. Enter the IP address or MAC address of the local
device to manage the AP.
4. Click Save.
Now, you can manage the AP over both HTTP (
http://tplinkwifi.net) and HTTPS (https://
tplinkwifi.net
).
Note:
If you want all local devices can manage the AP, just leave the IP/MAC Address field blank.
13. 7. 3. Remote Management
By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the AP from the internet. You
can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed. HTTPS is a more
secure way to access the AP.
