First, the preparatory work:
1, first of all, the installation of the router, mainly to connect the router power supply and boot, and then the connection of the network cable. If you are a dial-up Internet user, please plug the cat-led network cable into the most dedicated WLAN port of TP-Link router (the color is different from other ports), and any of the other four LAN ports (the four ports have the same color) can connect to the computer. If you are a fiber-optic internet user (no cat), please plug the network cable directly into the most dedicated WLAN port, and the other four LAN ports are used to connect the computer.
2. If you have set the local IP address of the computer for your friend before, please change the IP address to automatic acquisition first.
Two wireless routers installation tutorials (XP, Win7/8/ 10 users)
Step 1: First open the browser, then type in the address bar, and then press enter on the keyboard to confirm to open the login interface. Next, we need to set a new router management password. When you are finished, click OK at the bottom.
Note: The new version of TP-Link router is no longer the default account and password of admin. When setting up for the first time, users need to create a router management password, which needs to be properly managed by users and will be used when logging in to router management in the future.
Step 2: After creating the router login password, we will enter the familiar old router setup center. For the first time, we will directly click Next at the bottom of the installation wizard dialog box.
Step 3: Next, you will enter the choice of "Setup Wizard-Internet Access Mode". If you are a dial-up Internet user, please choose PPPoE(ADSL Virtual Dialing). If you are not sure about your broadband type, just let the router automatically select the Internet access mode by default, and then click Next below.
If you choose to let the router automatically select the internet access mode, it will automatically detect your internet access mode, and we can wait for its detection to be completed.
Step 4: Most family and friends use PPPoE(ADSL Virtual Dialing) to surf the Internet. After the test, we will automatically enter the following setup wizard-PPPoE setup interface, where we need to fill in the online account and password. When you are finished, click Next.
Note: Internet account and password are broadband account passwords provided by network providers. If you forget or don't know, please consult your network service provider to get the account password. Please fill in your broadband account and password carefully. If it is not filled in correctly, the router will not be able to connect to the network.
Step 5: After setting up the Internet, you will enter the following setting wizard-wireless setting interface, where SSID refers to the wireless network name, which can be blank by default or filled in with your favorite name. Next, you must set a wireless password for the wireless router. Here, you need to check WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK first, and then fill in the Wifi wireless password after the PSK password. When you are finished, please click Next below.
Note: the filled PSK password is the password of wifi wireless network. In the future, laptops/tablets/smartphones will need to use this password to connect to wireless networks. Please remember. In addition, if you don't need to turn on the Wifi wireless network, you can choose not to turn on wireless security.
Step 6: After the next step, enter the last step of setting up the TP-Link wireless router. This means that the wireless router has been set up. Click to restart the router directly, which will take effect and support the completion of router setup.
