2. 1. Position Your Modem Router
With the modem router, you can access your network from anywhere within the wireless network coverage. However, the wireless signal strength and coverage varies depending on the actual environment where your modem router is in. Many obstacles may limit the range of the wireless signal, for example, concrete structures, thickness and number of walls.
For your security and best Wi-Fi performance, please:
•Do Not locate the modem router in the place where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat.
•Keep away from the strong electromagnetic radiation and the device of electromagnetic sensitive.
•Place the modem router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source.
•Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard.
Tips: The modem router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
Generally, the modem router is placed on a horizontal surface. The device can also be mounted on the wall as shown in the following picture.

Set Up Internet
Connections
This chapter introduces how to connect your modem router to the Internet. The modem router is equipped with a web-based Quick Setup wizard. It has many ISP information built in, automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been successfully completed. Furthermore, you can also set up an IPv6 connection if your ISP provided IPv6 service.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•Use Quick Setup Wizard
•Manually Set up an Internet Connection
•Set up an IPv6 Connection
•Test Internet Connectivity
Chapter 4 |
Set Up Internet Connections |
4. 1. Use Quick Setup Wizard
To set up your modem router with several easy steps quickly:
1.Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem router.
2.Click Quick Setup, select your ISP from the dropdown list or select Other if you can’t find your ISP, then click Next.
3.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
Note:
1.During the quick setup process, you can change the preset wireless network name (SSID) and wireless password. Once done, all your wireless devices must use the new SSID and password to connect to the modem router.
2.The modem router supports two operation modes, DSL Modem Router Mode and Wireless Router mode. If you already have a modem or your Internet comes via an Ethernet cable from the wall, you can set up the modem router as a regular wireless router to share the Internet. Refer to Appendix B: Troubleshooting for details.
4. 2. Manually Set up an Internet Connection
To manually add an Internet connection without following the instructions of the Quick Setup wizard:
1.Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem router.
2.Go to Basic > Internet page. Select your ISP, and the VPI and VCI values will be automatically filled in. Enter the information provided by your ISP for the Connection Type. If you can’t find your ISP in the ISP List, select Other and then enter the information provided by your ISP.

Bandwidth Control
The Bandwidth Control feature is used to fully utilize your limited bandwidth and optimize the load respectively. With this feature enabled, you can assign a specific minimum or maximum bandwidth for each computer, thus minimizing the impact caused when the connection is under heavy load.
Chapter 5 Bandwidth Control
I want to: |
Use an independent bandwidth and enjoy a good Internet |
|
experience without being affected by other users who are |
|
sharing the same router. |
|
For example, my roommate and I share 512Kbps Upstream |
|
Bandwidth and 8Mbps Downstream Bandwidth via this router, |
|
she likes to watch live show and play online games, which may |
|
take up much bandwidth. I don’t want to be affected, so we |
|
agree to equally distribute the bandwidth. Our IP addresses are |
|
192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.110. |
Tips: |
To use the bandwidth control feature, you’d better set static |
|
IP Address on each computer to be controlled or configure |
|
Address reservation on the modem router in order to manage |
|
easily. About how to configure address reservation, please refer |
|
to Reserve LAN IP Addresses. |
How can I |
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password |
do that? |
you set for the modem router. |
|
2. Go to Advanced > Bandwidth Control page. |
|
|
|
|
3.Enable Bandwidth Control, choose DSL on the line type. If you don’t know how to choose the line type, please contact your ISP which line type you have access.
4.EntertheTotalUpstreamBandwidthandtheTotalDownstream Bandwidth given by your ISP. (1Mbps=1024Kbps). Click Save to save the settings.
5.Click Add to add controlling rules for each computer respectively.

1 ) IP Range: Enter the IP address. The field can be single IP address or IP address range according to your demands. When you configure the single IP address, the computer with this IP address will get independent given bandwidth. When you configure the IP address range, all computers in the range will share the given bandwidth.
2 ) Port Range: Keep the default settings. The default port range of TCP protocol or UDP protocol is from 1 to 65535.
3 ) Protocol: Keep the default setting. Or you can choose the TCP protocol or UDP protocol or both of them.
4 ) Priority: Keep the default setting. You can change the value if you want to first guarantee the bandwidth for one computer. The smaller value has the higher priority.
5 ) Upstream/Downstream: Enter the bandwidth according to your division.
6 ) Check to enable this entry and click OK to save the settings.
6.Follow the steps above to add a rule for the other computer. And then you will get the following table.

Network Security
This chapter guides you on how to protect your home network from unauthorized users by implementing these three network security functions. You can block or allow specific client devices to access your wireless network using MAC Filtering, or using Access Control for wired and wireless networks, or you can prevent ARP spoofing and ARP attacks using IP & MAC Binding.
•MAC Filtering
•Access Control
•IP & MAC Binding
Chapter 6 |
Network Security |
6. 1. MAC Filtering
This function exploits the uniqueness of the MAC (Medium Access Control) address, a unique 12-digit hexadecimal address (for example, D8:5D:4C:B4:46:EA) of every network device, to determine if the device can or cannot access your wireless network.
I want to: |
Prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network |
|
by utilizing the network device’s MAC address and IP address. |
|
For example, I have a computer that is connected to my wireless |
|
network. Now, an unknown device (an intruder) is also using my |
|
wireless network, which affects my Internet speed. I would like |
|
to control my wireless network with the following capabilities: |
|
• My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network. |
|
• The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless |
|
network. |
|
• I don’t have to keep changing my wireless password as often. |
How can I |
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password |
do that? |
you set for the router. |
|
2. Go to Advanced > Wireless > MAC Filtering and enable |
|
Wireless MAC Filtering. |
|
|
|
|
3.Select the filtering rule to either block (recommended) or allow the device(s) in the list.
24
Chapter 6 |
Network Security |
To block specific device(s)
1 ) Select Block wireless access from the devices in the list below and click Save.
2 ) Select the device(s) to be blocked in the Devices Online table.
3 ) Click Block above the Devices Online table. The selected devices will be added to Devices List automatically.
To allow specific device(s)
1 ) Select Allow wireless access only from the devices in the list below and click Save.
2 ) Click Add.
|
3 ) Enter the MAC Address (You can copy and paste the MAC |
|
Address from Devices Online list if the device is connected |
|
to your wireless network) and enter the Description of |
|
the device. |
|
4 ) Select the checkbox to enable this entry, and click OK. |
Done! |
Now MAC Filtering is implemented to protect your wireless |
|
network. |
6. 2. Access Control
Access Control is used to block or allow specific client devices to access your network (via wired or wireless) based on a list of blocked devices (Blacklist) or a list of allowed devices (Whitelist).
I want to: |
Block or allow specific client devices to access my network (via |
|
wired or wireless). |
