Click OK to save the settings. Now you can block or allow specific client devices to access your network (wired or wireless) using the Blacklist or Whitelist.
8.3 IP & MAC Binding IP & MAC Binding, namely, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Binding, is used to map network device's IP address to its MAC address. This will prevent ARP Spoofing and ARP Attacks by denying any other device other than the bound one to access the network using the bound IP address. I want to: Prevent ARP Spoofing and ARP Attacks. How can I do that? 1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the router. 2.
2) 3) 4) Completed! Enter the MAC address and IP address that you want to bind. Select the checkbox to enable the entry. Click OK. Now you don’t need to worry about ARP Spoofing and ARP Attacks.
Chapter 9. NAT Forwarding 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 protect 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.
9.1 Share Local Resources in the Internet by ALG It is recommended to enable Application Layer Gateway (ALG) because ALG allows customized Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer "control/data" protocols such as FTP, TFTP, H323 etc. FTP ALG - To allow FTP clients and servers to transfer data across NAT, click Enable.
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 > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Server. Click Add. 3. Click View Existing Services, and select HTTP in the prompt page. The external port, internal port and protocol will be automatically filled with contents. Keep the default setting of Internal Port and Protocol. Fill in PC’s IP address 192.168.0.100 in the IP Address field.
9.3 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 router can record the IP address of the host. When the data from the Internet return to the external ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host.
9.4 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 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.
For example, when you connect your Xbox to the router which has connected to the Internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the 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. If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router. 2.
Chapter 10. QoS By default, the Internet bandwidth is shared by connected devices and applications, which means that the bandwidth of each device or application is uncontrollable while they are sharing the Internet. When some device is streaming video on Internet or downloading with P2P software, it will affect the Internet experience of other applications. Quality of Service (QoS) can help avoid the situation.
2 Add QoS Rules Note: In the QoS Rule List field, displays three priority. In the QoS rule field,displays three rule.type: By device, By application and By physical port. 1) Set a high priority rule for the ftp server: a. Select By Application and then select ftp in the list. Click OK.
Note: If your application isn't listed on the screen, click Custom Application to add application manually. Name: Type in a name for your applicaiton. Protocol: Select the protocol for your application, if your are not sure, select ALL. Port: Enter the destination port for your application, usually each application has a fixed port, please ensure you enter the correct the port. In this case, the destination port for ftp is 21. 2) Set a middle priority rule for the phone: a.
3) Set a low priority rule for the WIFI-GUEST: a. 4) Select By Physical Port and then select WIFI-HOST. Click OK. The QoS rules list will display in the table. Note: If you want to delete a QoS rule, click to remove the responding rule from the list. Update the Database In the Application list, we may not list all of the applications, a new database version may contain more applications. New database versions are posted at www.tp-link.com and can be downloaded for free.
2) Select Advanced > QoS >Database. Click Browse to select your download database upgrade file, then click Upgrade. Wait until the upgrade is completed and do not operate during the process.

Select the appropriate Mode according to your ISP. Select Bridge if your ISP is not listed and no other parameters are required, skip to Step 4.
11.3 Specify DHCP Server Settings By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and the router acts as a DHCP server; it dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client devices from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of DHCP Server if necessary, and you can reserve LAN IP address for specified client device. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the router, and go to Advanced > Network > DHCP Server page.
To reserve an IP address for a specified client device: 1. Click the button. 2. Type in the MAC address of the client device. 3. Type in the IP address to set to the client device. 4. Enter the description for the rule. 5. Select the Enable check box. 6. Click OK. The IP address reservation is configured successfully, and you can see the rule shown as below. In addition: Click to add another address reservation rule. Click to change the status of the rule.
11.4 Dynamic DNS To manage the router remotely, the remote device needs to log in to http://Router’s WAN IP:port number, which requires the remote user to know the router’s WAN IP. The ISP (Internet Service Provider), however, usually assigns a dynamic IP to the router. When the WAN IP changes, the user needs to reconfirm the related information.
lisadns.ddns.net). 5. Click Login and Save. Now on the PC that can manage the router remotely, log in to http://domain name: port number (such as http://lisa.ddns.net:1024) to manage the router. Completed! 11.5 Static Routing Static routing is a form of routing that is configured manually by a network administrator or a user by adding entries into a routing table. The manually-configured routing information guides the router in forwarding data packets to the specific destination.
Destination Network: is 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.
Completed! Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP address to visit the company network. 11.6 Specify Wireless Settings The router’s wireless network name (SSID) and password, and security option are preset in the factory. The preset SSID and password can be found on the product label. You can customize the wireless settings according to your needs. Visit http://tplinkwifi.
