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
I want to:
Bandwidth Control
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
do that?
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password
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. Enter theTotal Upstream Bandwidth and theTotal Downstream
Bandwidth given by your ISP. (1Mbps=1024Kbps). Click Save
to save the settings.
5. Click Add to add controlling rules for each computer
respectively.

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.

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
6. 1.
Network Security
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
do that?
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password
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.

NAT Forwarding
Modem router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the
LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the Internet, which protects the
local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the
problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device
in the local network.
With forwarding feature the modem router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and
allows the external hosts in the Internet to initiatively communicate with the devices in
the local network, thus to realize some special functions.
TP-LINK modem router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the
priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP
and DMZ.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server
• Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
• Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ
• Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP
Chapter 11
NAT Forwarding
11. 1. Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual
Server
When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the Internet,
Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the Internet users. At the same
time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible
from the Internet.
Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as
HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port.
Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port
110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.
I want to:
share my personal website I’ve built in local network with my
friends through the Internet.
For example, the personal website has been built in my home PC
(192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends in the Internet can visit
my website in some way. The PC is connected to the modem
router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.
Personal Website
Modem Router
LAN
WAN: 218.18.232.154
Home
How can I
do that?
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.0.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password
you set for the modem router.
3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers, click
Add.
53
Chapter 11
NAT Forwarding
4. Click View Existing Services, and choose HTTP. The external
port, internal port and protocol will be automatically filled
with contents. Enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.0.100 in the
Internal IP field.
5. Click OK to save the settings.
Tips:
1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you
are not clear about which port and protocol to use.
2. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the
corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the
service needs.
3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a
modem router. Please note that the External Port cannot be overlapped.
Done!
Users in the Internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example:
http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website.
Tips:
1. WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by
ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN by DDNS,
go to Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account for more information. Then you can
use http://domain name to visit the website.
2. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP:
External Port or http:// domain name: External Port to visit the website.
11. 2. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering
Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When
a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external
ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The modem router can record the IP
address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the
54
Chapter 11
NAT Forwarding
modem router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly
applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN
Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc.
Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add.
3. Click View Existing Applications, and select the desired application. The triggering
port and protocol, the external port and protocol will be automatically filled with
contents. Here we take application MSN Gaming Zone as an example.
4. Click OK to save the settings.
Tips:
1. You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.
2. If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually.
You should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into External Port field according
to the format the page displays.
11. 3. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by
DMZ
When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally
exposed to the Internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication
between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with
55
Chapter 11
NAT Forwarding
all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special
applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ
host.
Note:
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the
DMZ host is totally exposed to the Internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use,
please disable it in time.
I want to:
make the home PC join the Internet online game without port
restriction.
For example, Due to some port restriction, when playing the
online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team
with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ
with all ports opened.
How can I
do that?
1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example
192.168.0.100.
2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password
you set for the modem router.
3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select the
checkbox to enable DMZ.
4. Enter the IP address 192.168.0.100 in the DMZ Host IP
Address filed.
5. Click Save to save the settings.
Done!
The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ
host and now you can make a team to game with other players.
11. 4. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices
to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the
corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices in the
both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other realizing the
seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want
56
Chapter 11
NAT Forwarding
to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Tips:
1. UPnP is enabled by default in this modem router.
2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.
3. UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of
operating system need to install the UPnP components).
For example, When you connect your Xbox to the modem router which has connected
to the Internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the modem router to
open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to
transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.
LAN
Xbox
WAN
Modem Router
If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP.
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router;
2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > UPnP and toggle on or off according to your
needs.

Settings
This chapter introduces how to change the default settings or adjust the basic
configuration of the modem router using the web-based management page.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• LAN Settings
• Wireless Settings
• Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
• Interface Grouping
• Create Static Routes
• Set up a VPN Connection
Chapter 12
Specify Your Network Settings
12. 1. LAN Settings
12. 1. 1. Change the LAN IP Address
The modem router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.1.1, which you can use to log
in to its web-based management page. The LAN IP address together with the Subnet
Mask also defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address
conflicts with another device on your local network or your network requires a specific
IP subnet, you can change it.
Follow the steps below to change your IP address.
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.
3. Type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs.
4. Select the Subnet Mask from the drop-down list. The subnet mask together with
the IP address identifies the local IP subnet.
5. Keep IGMP Snooping as enabled by default. IGMP snooping is the process of
listening to IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) network traffic. The
function prevents hosts on a local network from receiving traffic for a multicast
group they have not explicitly joined.
6. You can configure the modem router’s Second IP and Subnet Mask for LAN interface
through which you can also access the web management page.
7. Leave the rest of the default settings as they are.
8. Click Save to make the settings effective.
12. 1. 2. Use the Modem Router as a DHCP Server
You can configure the modem router to act as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to
its clients. To use the DHCP server function of the modem router, you must configure all
computers on the LAN to obtain an IP Address automatically.
59
Chapter 12
Specify Your Network Settings
Follow the steps below to configure DHCP server.
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.
3. Select DHCP to enable the DHCP function and select DHCP Server.
4. Specify the IP Address Pool, the start address and end address must be on the same
subnet with LAN IP. The modem router will assign addresses within this specified
range to its clients. It is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 by default.
5. Enter a value for the Address Lease Time. The Address Lease Time is the amount of
time in which a DHCP client can lease its current dynamic IP address assigned by the
modem router. After the dynamic IP address expires, the user will be automatically
assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 1440 minutes.
6. Keep the rest of the settings as default and click Save to make your settings effective.
Note:
1. The modem router can be configured to work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP
data between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the
device’s interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP requests from local PCs will be
forwarded to the DHCP server that runs on WAN side.
2. You can also appoint IP addresses within a specified range to devices of the same type by using Condition Pool
feature. For example, you can assign IP addresses within the range (192.168.1.50 to192.168.1.80) to Camera
devices, thus facilitating the network management. Enable DHCP feature and configure the parameters according
to your actual situation on Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page.
12. 1. 3. Reserve LAN IP Addresses
You can view and add a reserved address for a client. When you specify an IP address
for a device on the LAN, that device will always receive the same IP address each time
when it accesses the DHCP server. If there are some devices in the LAN that require
60
Chapter 12
Specify Your Network Settings
permanent IP addresses, please configure Address Reservation on the router for the
purpose.
Follow the steps below to reserve an IP address for your device.
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.
3. Scroll down to locate the Address Reservation table and click Add to add an address
reservation entry for your device.
4. Enter the MAC address of the device for which you want to reserve IP address.
5. Specify the IP address which will be reserved by the router.
6. Check to Enable this entry and click OK to make the settings effective.
12. 2. Wireless Settings
12. 2. 1. Specify Basic Wireless Settings

duration between which beacon packets are broadcasted by the router to synchronize
the wireless network. The default is 100 milliseconds.
• RTS Threshold: Enter a value between 1 and 2346 to determine the packet size of
data transmission through the router. By default, the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold
size is 2346. If the packet size is greater than the preset threshold, the router sends
Request to Send frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending
of a data frame, or else the packet will be sent immediately.
• DTIM Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 255 to determine the interval of the
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). 1 indicates the DTIM Interval is the same

12. 3. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs (Internet service providers) assign a dynamic IP address to the router and
you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can
change any time and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might need
the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your
friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using domain name, in
no need of checking and remembering the IP address.
Note: DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the modem router.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:
1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem
router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network> Dynamic DNS.
3. Select the DDNS service provider (Dyndns or NO-IP). If you don’t have a DDNS
account, select a service provider and click Go to register.
4. Enter the username, password and domain name of the account (such as lisa.ddns.
net).
5. Click Login and Save.
Tips: If you want to use a new DDNS account, please Logout first, then login with the new account.
12. 4. Interface Grouping
I want to:
Divide my devices connected to the modem router into different
groups and disallow devices’ cross-group communication.
For example, in my house, devices connected to LAN1 and LAN3
are for work, while others for entertainment. I want to isolate
working devices from others while keep all devices’ access to
the Internet.

Note: VLAN function is enabled by default. You cannot disable it when IPTV is
enabled.
12. 5. Create Static Routes
A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must travel to reach
a specific host or network. Data from one point to another will always follow the same
path regardless of other considerations. Normal Internet usage does not require this
setting to be configured.
I want to:
Visit multiple networks and multiple servers at the same time.
For example, in a small office, my PC can surf the Internet, but I
also want to visit my company’s server. Now I have a switch and
another router. I connect the devices as shown in the following
figure so that the physical connection between my PC and my
company’s server is achieved. To surf the Internet and visit my
company’s network at the same time, I need to configure the
static routing.
Modem router
Company’s server
Router 2
WAN: 172.30.30.100

172.30.30.1
Switch
My PC
192.168.0.100
How can I
do that?
1. Make sure the routers use different LAN IP addresses on the
same subnet. Disable Router 2’s DHCP function.
2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password
you set for the modem router.
3. Go to Advanced > Network > Advanced Routing. Select your
current WAN Interface and click Save.
71
Chapter 12
Specify Your Network Settings
4. Click Add to add a new static routing entry. Finish the settings
according to the following explanations:
• Destination IP: The destination IP address that you want to
assign to a static route. This IP address cannot be on the same
subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of the router. In the example,
the IP address of the company network is the destination IP
address, so here enters 172.30.30.1.
• Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the
destination IP address. If the destination is a single IP address,
enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the subnet mask of
the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination
network is a single IP, so here enters 255.255.255.255.
• Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which the
data packets will be sent. This IP address must be on the same
subnet with the router’s IP which sends out the data. In the
example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of
72
Chapter 12
Specify Your Network Settings
Router 2 and then to the Server, so the default gateway should
be 192.168.0.2.
• Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends
out the data packets. In the example, the data is sent to the
gateway through the LAN port, so LAN should be selected.
5. Check to enable this entry and click OK to save the settings.
Done!
Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP
address to visit the company network.
12. 6. Set up a VPN Connection
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network established across the public network,
generally via the Internet. However, the private network is a logical network without
any physical network lines, so it is called Virtual Private Network.
With the wide application of the Internet, more and more data are needed to be shared
through the Internet. Connecting the local network to the Internet directly, though can
allow the data exchange, will cause the private data to be exposed to all the users on
the Internet.
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology is developed and used to establish
the private network through the public network, which can provides a secure
communication to a remote computer or remote network, and guarantee a secured
data exchange. IPSec is one of the major implementations of VPNs.
I want to:
Establish an IPSec VPN tunnel to connect two LANs via Internet so
that the hosts in different remote LANs are able to communicate
with each as if they are in the same LAN.
For example, I am the network administrator of a regional office,
I need to let my office staff can visit the headquarter’s servers
and resources, and vice versa. I know that the modem router
in my office and the device in headquarter both support IPSec
VPN feature, so I decide to set up a VPN connection with the
headquarter office.
The following diagram is a typical VPN topology. Here Site A
refers to regional office’s network (local network). And Site B
refers to the headquarter’s network (remote network) which I
want to connect.
