1
Determine the Management Method
Before building your network, choose a proper method to manage your router based on
your actual network situation. The router supports two configuration options: Standalone
Mode or Controller Mode.
■ Controller Mode
If you want to configure and manage a large-scale network centrally, which consists
of mass devices such as access points, switches, and gateways, Controller Mode is
recommended. In Controller Mode, the router can be centrally configured and monitored
via Omada SDN Controller.
To prepare the router for Omada SDN Controller Management, refer to Controller
Settings. For detailed instructions about the network topology in such situations
and how to use Omada SDN Controller, refer to the User Guide of Omada SDN
Controller. The guide can be found on the download center of our official website:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/.
■ Standalone Mode
If you have a relatively small-sized network and only one or just a small number of devices
need to be managed, Standalone Mode is recommended. In Standalone Mode, you can
access and manage the router using the GUI (Graphical User Interface, also called web
interface in this text). The router uses two built-in web servers, HTTP server and HTTPS
server, for user authentication.
This User Guide introduces how to configure and monitor the router in Standalone Mode.
Note:
The GUI is inaccessible while the router is managed by a controller. To turn the router back to Standalone
Mode and access its GUI, you can forget the router on the controller or reset the router.

Web Interface Access
The following example shows how to log in via the web browser.
1) Connect a PC to a LAN port of the router with an RJ45 port properly. If your computer is
configured with a fixed IP address, change it to “Obtain an IP address automatically“.
2) Open a web browser and type the default management address http://192.168.0.1 in
the address field of the browser, then press the Enter key.

Configuring Network Overview

Overview
The Network module provides basic router functions, including WAN connection, DHCP
service, VLAN and more.
1.1 Supported Features
WAN
You can configure up to four WAN ports for your network. Each WAN port has its own
internet connection, providing link backup and load balancing.
LAN
For LAN configuration, you can configure the LAN IP address and DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server. With its DHCP server enabled, the router can automatically
assign IP addresses to hosts in the LAN.
MAC
You can change the default MAC address of the WAN port or LAN port according to your
needs.
Switch
The router supports some basic switch port management functions, like Port Mirror, Rate
Control, Flow Control and Port Negotiation, to help you monitor the traffic and manage the
network effectively.
VLAN
The router supports 802.1Q VLAN, which can divide the LAN into multiple VLANs, helping
manage the network more effectively.
User Guide 12
Configuring Network WAN Configuration

WAN Configuration
You can configure multiple WAN ports for your network. Each WAN port can have its own
WAN connection, providing link backup and load balancing.
To complete WAN configuration, follow these steps:
1) Configure the number of WAN ports.
2) Configure the WAN connection.
2.1 Configuring the Number of WAN Ports
Choose the menu Network > WAN > WAN Mode to load the following page.
Figure 2-1 Configuring the WAN Mode
WAN Mode Click the check box to enable the port as a WAN port. To configure multiple WAN
ports, enable the ports one by one.
For certain devices, you can configure one SFP port as the WAN port.
Note:
The router will reboot after switching the WAN mode.
2.2 Configuring the WAN Connection
The router supports five connection types: Static IP, Dynamic IP, PPPoE, L2TP, PPTP, you
can choose one according to the service provided by your ISP.
Static IP: If your ISP provides you with a fixed IP address and the corresponding
parameters, choose Static IP.
Dynamic IP: If your ISP automatically assigns the IP address and the corresponding
parameters, choose Dynamic IP.
User Guide

Configuring Network WAN Configuration
PPPoE: If your ISP provides you with a PPPoE account, choose PPPoE.
L2TP: If your ISP provides you with an L2TP account, choose L2TP.
PPTP: If your ISP provides you with a PPTP account, choose PPTP.
Note:
The number of configurable WAN ports is decided by WAN Mode. To configure Wan Mode, refer to
Configuring the Number of WAN Ports.
■ Configuring the Dynamic IP
Choose the menu Network > WAN > WAN to load the following page.
Figure 2-2 Configuring the Dynamic IP
In the Connection Configuration section, select the connection type as Dynamic IP. Enter
the corresponding parameters and click Save.
Connection Type Choose the connection type as Dynamic IP if your ISP automatically assigns the IP
address.
Host Name (Optional) Enter a name for the router. It is null by default.

MTU Specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the WAN port.
Specify the upstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
upper limit of the “Maximum Upstream Bandwidth” on Transmission > Bandwidth

ensure this parameter is set correctly.
Specify the downstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
upper limit of the “Maximum Downstream Bandwidth” on Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When Dynamic
IP is selected, MTU can be set in the range of 576-1500 bytes. The default value is
1500.

unless required by your ISP.
By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN, and the egress rule of
the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port without VLAN
tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you need to create
the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG, then manually
add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to Network > VLAN > VLAN.
The broadcasting requirement may not be supported by a few ISPs. Select this
option if you can not get the IP address from your ISP even with a normal network
connection. This option is not required generally.
Click the button to active/terminate the connection.
■ Configuring the Static IP
Choose the menu Network > WAN > WAN to load the following page.

In Connection Configuration section, select the connection type as Static IP. Enter the
corresponding parameters and click Save.
Connection Type Choose the connection type as Static IP if your ISP has offered you a fixed IP

Bandwidth
Choose the connection mode, including Connect Automatically, Connect Manually
and Time-Based.
Connect Automatically: The router will activate the connection automatically when
the router reboots or the connection is down.
Connect Manually: You can manually activate or terminate the connection.
Time-Based: During the specified period, the router will automatically activate the
connection.
Based. To create the time range, go to Preferences > Time Range > Time Range.
Specify the upstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
upper limit of the “Maximum Upstream Bandwidth” on Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
Specify the downstream bandwidth of the WAN port. The value configured here is the
upper limit of the “Maximum Downstream Bandwidth” on Transmission > Bandwidth
Control > Bandwidth Control page, to make “Bandwidth Control” take effect, please
ensure this parameter is set correctly.
MTU Specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the WAN port.
MTU is the maximum data unit transmitted in the physical network. When PPPoE is
selected, MTU can be set in the range of 576-1492 bytes. The default value is 1492.
Service Name (Optional) Enter the service name. This parameter is not required unless provided by
your ISP. It is null by default.

unless required by your ISP.
By default, the WAN port is automatically assigned to a VLAN, and the egress rule of
the VLAN is UNTAG, so the packets are transmitted by the WAN port without VLAN
tags. If you want the WAN port to transmit packets with VLAN tag, you need to create
the corresponding VLAN first and configure its egress rule as TAG, then manually
add the WAN port to that VLAN. To create VLANs, go to Network > VLAN > VLAN.
