TP LINK TL WR841N Parameters. Login to TP-LINK TL-WR841N settings. Entrance to the TP-LINK TL-WR841N router

Initial task when buying a new router is its proper connection. On the back of the WR841N there are five inputs for network connections. Four yellow ports are used for cable connection of devices (computers, laptops, televisions and other electronics equipped with Ethernet connector). The fifth port is blue, it is necessary to connect the Internet to the router and its further distribution within the home network. Therefore, the cable that has been extended to the premises of the provider must be connected in this connector. Next, it will be enough to insert the router into the socket and click on the power button.

To configure the TP-LINK WiFi router, you must open any Internet browser and go to the Device Control Panel. It can be accessed by one of the following IP addresses: 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. This combination of characters must be entered into the browser address bar. If you do not know which one is set as standard, you can clarify it on the bottom panel of the router. You can also use the universal address tplinklogin.net, which will automatically redirect you to the settings panel. For login, standard username and password are used: admin.

If the system does not accept the standard data to enter the WiFi control panel of the TP-LINK router, they could be changed earlier. You can clarify current login and password in the company that has been connecting the Internet and pre-configure the router. If there is no such possibility, it is recommended to reset the settings with return to factory settings. To do this, you should find the "RESET" button on the rear panel, which does not protrude beyond the housing. Then press it with any subtle oblong thin object (for example, toothpick) and hold for about 10 seconds. After resetting settings, there will be no problems with the entrance.

During successful input, the Status Start Tab will be displayed. On it, you can familiarize yourself with the data on Internet connection, current wireless mode settings (WiFi) and traffic statistics.

In most cases, additional actions are required to connect to the Internet. The connection is set to about a minute after the WR841N router is turned on with the cable connected to the blue input. You can check the connection status on the Status tab, in the WAN section.

If the connection is not set, when configuring TP-LINK, you must specify additional parameters. You can do this not by the "Fast Settings" tab, and the data itself clarify in your copy of the contract with the provider.

Select the connection type specified in the contract or refined from the provider. If the connection type failed to find out, but you have the name of the account and password, click "Auto Determination". WR841N will scan the connection parameters and display its recommended type.

Determining the type of connection on the TP-LINK router, as a rule, takes no more than 20-30 seconds.

After that, you need to enter account data and click "Next". When WiFi WR841N router will be restarted, the Internet connection will be connected to the parameters you specify.

After setting the connection, any device connected to the device will have Internet access via WR841N. The sequence of the cable connection does not matter, despite the fact that the ports on the rear panel of the device are numbered from 1 to 4. For example, you can connect the computer to port 2, and the TV to port 4 (not necessarily use the outputs 1 and 2).

WiFi Setup

A key step in setting the WR841N router is setting WiFi parameters. To do this, open the first menu item on the Wireless Mode tab. In the "Name Name" field, you must enter a name under which the network will be displayed in the general list when searching for WiFi. Next - select your country in regional settings. This affects the frequency list on which data will be transmitted. The "Channel" item is recommended to be left unchanged, on the value of "Auto". With such settings, the router will independently select the frequency of the WiFi transmission, depending on the current load (classes of certain frequencies of neighbors). It is also advisable to leave the standard settings in the "Mode" and "channel width" fields so as not to limit the maximum connection speed.

The Enable Wireless Broadcast Broadcast box connects data on WiFi, when it is disconnected, the wireless connection cannot be installed, but the network and Internet access is saved in wired mode. "Enable SSID broadcasting" makes the name of the network publicly available. If you remove this mark, your WiFi will go to the category of hidden networks. To connect to it, you will have to enter not only the password, but also the name.

In the next step, go to the "Wireless Mode -\u003e Wireless Protection" tab. By default, the "Disable Protection" option is selected. This means that your WiFi is open (no password is required to connect to it). It is recommended to change this parameter to "WPA-PERSONAL / WPA2-PERSONAL" and set the network password.

It is important to realize that encryption settings ensure not only network access, but also the safety of its use. Even if you do not mind your WiFi to use outsiders (neighbors, colleagues), access without encryption carries significant risks. Information in open networks is transmitted in its original form. This means that passwords, payment data and other confidential information will be available to any network user. For the same reason, it is not recommended to introduce personal data when connecting to the Internet through public networks.

In the "Version" and "Encryption" fields, leave the values \u200b\u200b"automatically", and in the "PSK password" section, enter the desired access key. The harder the password is, the mortars of the likely that it will be hacked in the case of a hacker attack. It is recommended to use letters in different registers (lowercase and uppercase), numbers and special characters.

In order to use new settings, you will need to click on the specified link and confirm the WR841N reboot.

The TP-LINK router reboot process takes about 30 seconds. After that, the settings page will be updated.

Security Settings

To secure WiFi as much as possible, it is recommended to disable the QSS function. It allows you to connect any device without entering the password, within two minutes after pressing the WPS / RESET button on the rear panel of the device. Although this option is convenient, critical vulnerabilities were found in the QSS protocol, due to which unauthorized access to the network can be obtained. At the moment, it is using this function that the highest number of hacking TP-LINK routers is carried out. To change these settings, you must go to the QSS Function tab, click the "Disable" button and restart the WR841N router.

If you wish to continue using this connection method, despite the risk of a hacker attack, you can change the connection settings or add a new device to the software method. To do this, it is enough to enter the PIN of the plug-in hardware or select the "Click the New Device button within two minutes" to activate the QSS.

The next important option that ensures the security of the network can be connected in the "Wireless Mode -\u003e Filtering MAC addresses". When the filtering is enabled, it can operate in two modes "Allow access to the stations specified in the list" and "to prohibit access to the stations specified in the list". Select the desired option and turn on the filtering. Changes will be applied after rebooting the router.

If you select the first option, you can prohibit the connection of individual devices to the WiFi network, dried by the TP-LINK router. To do this, in the MAC address field, you must enter a combination that can be clarified in the next step. In the "Description" field, you understand the name of the device, and the status is to change to "enabled".

You can also choose the second option. When using it, only devices that are made to the White List will be able to connect. As in the case of entering into a blacklist, you will need to enter the MAC address and the name of the device, and select "Included" from the drop-down list.

At least this method and increases safety, it does not guarantee full protection against hacking and connecting third parties to your WiFi. WiFi connection data can be intercepted, and you can extract the MAC address of your device. After that, the hacker will simply change the address of his computer to the received, and it will be able to enter the network.

You can clarify the MAC addresses of the connected devices in the Wireless Mode -\u003e Wireless Statistics menu. It contains only devices that are connected via WiFi. It also displays the statistics of the work on various computers and gadgets (the number of received and sent packets). In addition to obtaining addresses of your devices, this menu can be used to control unauthorized connections. For example, if the WiFi speed on your WR841N router fell and you suspect that someone has a stranger connected to your network, you can check this in this menu.

You can change the address of the admin panel of the router in the Security -\u003e Remote Control Point. You can also set a new port for connecting to TP-LINK, but it is better to leave this setting unchanged. After saving a new IP address, you will need to restart your router.

After setting up your TP-LINK WR841N router is recommended, it is recommended to save the parameters in a separate file. You can do this on the System Tools tab -\u003e Backup and Recovery. The configuration parameters will be saved in BIN format, and through the same menu you can restore them. Such a need to arise if in the future you will be incorrect changes in the settings or they will be randomly reset using the "Reset" button on the rear panel.

Modern life is not unrequisitely connected with Internet technologies. A wireless connection came to the traditional cable Ethernet. In any cafe, restaurant, office or apartment there are routers, distributing WiFi-network. In this article, the conversation will go about the features of connecting and managing the most popular budget router of the TP-LINK version of TL WR841N. All models manufactured by this company have a pleasant design and provide distribution of the Wi-Fi Internet.

TP-LINK devices, including TL WR841N , Possess a similar and recognizable appearance. Specifically, the WR841N wireless router is noted that it has excellent technical indicators, providing network creation with a speed of 300 Mbps.

Appearance

If you describe the form, "TP-LINK" made everything stylish and attractive. The TL WR841N router has rectangular contours, smoothly bent in the corners. As in other models of the budget segment, the package includes only the most necessary components:

adapter for inclusion in the 220V network;
disk with software, as a rule, already outdated version at the time of sale;
manual, containing the necessary information;
cable designed to connect "Wi-Fi" -Retaer with a computer;
warranty card with seal and seller's painting.

On the rear panel of the TL WR841N router are the following items:

power button;
connector for connecting;
power adapter cables;
wAN port for connecting to the fiber cable router;
four LAN ports for connecting a router to a computer or other devices; WPS button and button that allows you to reset the settings to factory;
network switch button to ON and OFF.

Two non-removable antennas are installed at the top, providing high Internet speed.

Connection and preparation for work

No problems when connecting the TP-LINK router version TL WR841N , Does not arise. The power adapter is pre-connected. Then the cable conducted by the provider in the apartment is inserted into one of the connectors. After the WAN-input was connected, the router will react to the color indication.

Next, the computer or laptop connects to the router. This can be done either using the cable contained in the TL WR841N delivery kit, or the purchased personally purchased. Standard has a small length, which is often the inconvenience.

After all manipulations, the power button is pressed, and after 30 seconds, the TL WR841N router must earn. This is reported by the color indication installed on the cover of the housing.

Settings

After the steps described above, the TP-LINK router is setting the TL WR841N model. To make it an easy even inexperienced user, for this it is enough to learn the instructions for setting up the router, invested in the package or perform the following steps.

Automatic setting

As in any other TP-LINK router, the TL WR841N configure is manual or automatic.

Internet connection manually

Configuring the TP TK WR841N router manually slightly harder. In this case, specific information will be required: IP address, main gateway, subnet mask, etc., required for operation TL WR841N. After that, with several actions, everything is prescribed manually. The principle of connecting from different providers is generally almost the same and differs only in detail.

Home ru

First, consider connecting to the Internet from the house provider.

You must open the "Network" section, the WAN subsection will automatically open. It should select the desired type of connection specified on the pages of the contract concluded with the company.
In the "User Name" and "Password" fields, login and password are specified in the agreement.
Below are the hidden additional parameters, it is better not to change them without the need, which is additionally told tips.
Press the "Save" button.

The Internet should work.

« Rostelecom "

Similarly, a connection is made for the Rostelecom provider company.

The "Network" section opens, all necessary actions are carried out in the WAN subsection.
Selects the connection type, as a rule, PPPoE.
The setting is the same for other types. The required fields are prescribed the information specified in the contract, as a login and password.
Connection mode is set to "always actively".

"Beeline"

The Internet connection is somewhat different for the Beeline Provider.

First you need to implement a standard transition to the "Network" section and the WAN subsection.
After that, in the "Connection Type" field, L2TP / RUSSIA L2TP is displayed in contrast to the standard PPPOE mentioned above.
The right fields are login and password issued by the provider with the official conclusion of an agreement on the supply of Internet services.
The connection mode is standardly installed in the "always actively" position.

NetBynet

For the NetByNet provider, the actions are practically the same as the PPPOE setting for home and Rostelecom. All items are performed in the same way.

You must open the "Network" section. WAN subsection will automatically open. Selects the type of connection specified in the contract concluded with the company.
In the "Username" and "Password" fields, login and password contained in the Agreement are prescribed.
Connection mode is set to "always actively".
Authentication type leave standard.
The only difference is to install the secondary connection. In this case, the manufacturer recommends to translate the "Secondary Connection" mode to the "Dynamic IP" position.

Reserve Connection Through 3G

No features connect the TL WR841N router to the Internet through 3G or 4G is not. This device does not support the ability to connect mobile modems. To do this, you will need to purchase a more expensive model.

IPv6 support

After the IPv6 is introduced, users have become interested in the question: which devices support it. TL WR841N works fine on the firmware version V13.

Wireless network

In the Wireless Mode tab, everything is needed to create a Wi-Fi network. Install the Network Name in the "Basic Settings" subsection. It also regulates the mode set by default to the 11BGN position. Selects the channel number and its width.

Guest network

In this section, "guests" are allowed access to the local network, as well as isolate the guest network, control the bandwidth. Enable the setting to "Enable". There is also prescribed the network name and the number of possible guest users is specified. By default, undefined is written. Below you can set the wireless mode schedule.

Setup in repeater mode (repeater), amplifier, adapter or access point

In order to translate TL WR841 in (repeater), amplifier, adapter, or access point, you must use a third-party firmware, for example, DD-WRT. There are no functions in standard data.

IPTV.

Any TP-LINK modem has the ability to support IPTV interactive television. Including this also concerns TL WR841N. You can connect and watch IPTV via Wi-Fi on any devices. If there is a special prefix, one of the LAN ports is allocated for it for the role of "bridge". All this is done in the "Network" tab, where you need to go to IPTV.

Individual User Connection Settings

Unfortunately, unlike many models of other manufacturers, no opportunities for making additional users with individual rights considered TL WR841N does not provide.

Dynamic DNS.

In order to enable dynamic DNS in TL WR841N, you need to go to the tab of the same name.
If there is registration on the resources presented in the drop-down menu, it is enough to enter your own login, password and domain, click "Enable DDNS" and go further.
If there is no such possibility, you should switch over the hyperlink and register.

Security Settings

All necessary parameters that ensure the safety of the TL WR841N router and network are in the "Protection" section.

In the Basic Protection Setup subsection, turn on the SPI firewall, filter content and tracking cyberatics.
In the Local Management subsection, computers are prescribed from which you can control the TL WR841N special router interface.
In addition, it is worthwhile to change the manufacturer's Password Admin to a more complex, known only to the owner of the TL WR841N.

Parental control

To prevent a child to a global network in the absence of adult family members, go to the "Parental Control" section:

Mark the Parental Control field.
The MAC address fits the MAC address.
The following are similar information from computers under control.
The MAC addresses of all observed computers fit below.
The time of sessions and sites that can be processed are configured.

Change buttons function

The standard button override buttons for TP Link TL 841N is not.

Setting up printer

Since the TL WR841N router does not have a USB port, it does not support the print server function.

Setting DLNA on router

A similar situation with a DLNA server. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a USB port, it will not be possible to use this feature.

Configuring a VPN server

To install a VPN server, you need to go to the "Network" subsection. Then in the connection type it is necessary to select "PPTP / PPTP Russia".
The following fields are prescribed by the username and password specified in the contract with the provider. Address type is set to "Dynamic IP".
Then the address of the desired server is prescribed in the "IP address" field - VPN.
The network connection mode is installed as automatic.
All other fields are not edited.

Torrent customer setup

On the TP-LINK TL 841n interface page, there are no standard ways to configure torrent clients. However, you can install a third-party firmware "DD-WRT", which converts almost any router that has a USB port into a torrent client. Due to the fact that the considered model of the TL WR841N router does not have such, there is no particular sense in changing the firmware.

Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them

In the process of working with TL WR841N, problems and malfunctions occur. Correct them easy.

For example, TL WR841N stopped responding to an electrical power connection. This is spoken by unheoming indicators.

First checks whether there is electricity in a specific outlet or whether the network filter is turned on.
If the answer is affirmative, controlled whether the power button is enabled.
If here is a positive answer, most likely burned down or the TL WR841N router itself, or the power adapter.

The reasons why TL WR841N does not distribute wireless Internet, a lot. All of them are solved easily.

The first is the presence of problems on the side of the provider. In this case, it is worth contacting technical support and outline the situation. Experts will check the information received and if necessary, solve the problem.
