What do you do before TP-Link router configuration?

TP-Link vro Setting Process

1. Collect and determine information to prepare for configuring the TP-Link router;

2. Go to the TP-Link router management interface and configure the TP-Link router;

3. Simple troubleshooting during configuration;

Next let's take a look at what needs to be done for the TP-Link router to set up money?

Preparations before setting the TP-Link RouterIf you have a clear connection method, you can jump)

The first thing to confirm is what your "Broadband Access Method" is like? Of course, the simplest way is to give your ISP Internet service provider a call for consultation. You can also make a quick judgment by using the network connection method you purchased before the TP-Link router. Common Hardware connection methods include the following:

1. Telephone Line> adsl modem> Computer

2. Twisted Pair ethernet cable)-> Computer

3. Cable coaxial Cable)-> Cable MODEM-> Computer

4. Optical Fiber> photoelectric converter> Proxy Server> PC

ADSL/VDSL PPPoE: A computer runs a third-party dialing software such as Enternet300 or a dialing program provided by WinXP. Fill in the account and password provided by the ISP, and dial the number before accessing the Internet each time; alternatively, your adsl modem has enabled the routing function, fills in the account and password provided by the ISP, and sends the dialing action to the MODEM; this broadband access method is typical, such as the "Network Express" provided by China Southern Telecom ")

Static IP: the ISP provides you with a fixed IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS;

Dynamic IP: The TCP/IP attribute of the computer is set to "automatically obtain IP addresses", and the computer can access the Internet each time it starts. This broadband access method is typical for Shenzhen "tianwei video ")

802.1X + static IP: the ISP provides fixed IP addresses, dedicated dialing software, accounts, and passwords;

802.1X + Dynamic IP: the ISP provides dedicated dialing software, accounts, and passwords;

WEB Authentication: before accessing the internet, open the Internet Explorer, specify the home page of the ISP, enter the user name and password provided by the ISP, and perform other online operations only after the authentication;

The black text above is your broadband access method, and the access method and hardware connection method are not fixed)

The above mentioned connection authentication methods are only some of the broadband access methods with high penetration rate, and of course there will be other topological connections and authentication methods; therefore, if you are not sure about your bandwidth, you 'd better ask your ISP: is the IP address static or dynamic? Are the protocols used for authentication PPPoE, 802.1X, or WEB Authentication? With the answers to the two questions above, you can configure the TP-Link router;

How to enter the TP-Link router management interface?

Connect the adsl modem, TP-Link router, and computer according to the figure above in the user manual.

TL-R4XX series TP-Link router management address factory default: IP Address: 192. 168. 1. 1;

Subnet Mask: 255. 255. 255. 0;

Note: TL-R400AndTL-R400 +The default Management addresses are 192. 168. 123. 254. 255, and the subnet mask is 255. 255.. 0;

Use a network cable to connect the LAN port of the TP-Link router to the computer Nic, because the Ethernet port on the TP-Link router has the polarity automatic flip function, therefore, no matter whether your network cable uses a direct line or a cross line, you need to ensure that the production of the cable crystal head is reliable and stable, the crystal head copper is not rusted, etc.

Right-click "Network neighbors" on the desktop and select "properties". In the displayed window, double-click "Local Connection" and click "properties ", search for "Internet protocol TCP/IP)" and double-click the "Internet protocol TCP/IP) Attribute" window;

In this window, select "Use the following IP Address" and fill in the corresponding location:

IP Address: 192. 168. 1. XX range: 2-254 ),

Subnet Mask: 255. 255. 255. 0,

Default Gateway: 192. 168. 1. 1. After filling in, click "OK" twice;

Enter the "Internet protocol TCP/IP) properties" window.

The preparations before you set up the TP-Link router are the prerequisite and basis for your initial setup. As the saying goes: Do not fight without preparation. Therefore, Please master the above content, to avoid affecting the subsequent configuration process.
