Customize Your Network Settings
10. 1. Change the LAN Settings
The router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.1.1, 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 the password you set for the router.
2. Go to
Network > LAN Settings.
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.
10. 2. Specify DHCP Server Settings
By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and
the router acts as a DHCP server; it dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client
devices from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of the DHCP Server if
necessary, and you can reserve LAN IP addresses for specified client devices. When in
Access Point mode, select SmartIP for most cases.
