Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of the Router
Small enough to fit in the average pocket, the TL-WR802N 300Mbps Wireless N Nano Router is
uniquely suited to provide robust wireless networking to travelers, students, or anyone else for
work or play.
TL-WR802N supports the newest 802.11n standards, and provides backward compatibility with
older 802.11b/g standards as well. The up-to-300Mbps wireless speed makes it ideal for handling
multiple data streams at the same time, which ensures your network stable and smooth.
The TL-WR802N 300Mbps Wireless N Nano Router supports five operation modes. Wireless
Router mode creates an instant private wireless network and share Internet to multiple Wi-Fi devices,
which is suitable for most hotel and home network. Access Point mode creates a wireless network for
Wi-Fi devices. The wireless devices are exposed to the wired network. Range Extender mode
extends your home wireless range by copying the same wireless name and password. Client mode
works as a wireless adapter for any Ethernet-enabled devices, such as Smart TV, Game Console and
PC. Hotspot Router mode accesses the Internet wirelessly in areas with no wired ISP infrastructure
With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless LAN
64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, WiFi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), as well as
advanced Firewall protections, the TL-WR802N 300Mbps Wireless N Nano Router provides
complete data privacy.
The TL-WR802N 300Mbps Wireless N Nano Router supports Virtual Server and DMZ host for Port
Triggering, and then the network administrators can manage and monitor the network in real time with
the remote management function.
Since the router is compatible with virtually all the major operating systems, it is very easy to
manage. Quick Setup Wizard is supported and detailed instructions are provided step by step in

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your TL-WR802N 300Mbps
Wireless N Nano Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP addresses of the TL-WR802N have two: 192.168.0.254 for AP mode, Range
Extender mode and Client mode, and 192.168.0.1 for Wireless Router mode and Hotspot Router
mode. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you
desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for description. Here we take “192.168.0.254”
as an example.
Connect the local PC to the LAN port of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address for
your PC as the following steps:
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. If
you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC”.
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Then connect to the Router through wireless connection following the steps below:
1) Click the icon at the bottom of your desktop. Click refresh button, and then select the
default SSID of the Router. Click Connect.
