Open the web browser, type one of the following addresses in the search bar:

http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://tplinklogin.net

Then press enter.

Note:

The LAN IP varies depending on themodel you use.To find the model information, check the sticker on the bottom of the device.

Step 2

Enter the username and password on the login page.By default, both boxes are admin .

Step 3

Click on Security, select Remote Management on the left.

Step 4

With the default setting (Port 80 and IP address 0.0.0.0 ), the Remote Management function will be turned off.

To enable this function, change the remote management IP address from 0.0.0.0 to the specified authorized remote IP address.

You can also change the Web Management port to another port if needed, which is also a security enhancement.

Step 5

Click Save to save the settings.

To access the router, you need to enter the Router's WAN IP address into the browser address search bar or the custom port number.For example, if the Router's WAN address is 202.96.12.8 and you use port number 8080 , enter http://202.96.12.8:8080 in the address box in your browser.You will be asked what the router's password is.After entering the password and confirming the success, you will be able to access the Router's web utility.

Note:

1. When you use a public IP address specifically as a remote management IP address, you can only connect to this device remotely with the computer using this specific IP address.
2. Entering the remote management IP address 0.0.0.0 means you will not be able to connect to this device remotely.
3. Typing 255.255.255.255 for remote IP address means you can connect to the Router from everywhere via the Internet, this is not recommended and you should be cautious when using it.
4. Ideally, you should change the default login name and password when Remote Management is enabled, especially if you enter IP 255.255.255.255 as the remote management IP address. Click the How do I change the Administrative username and Password section to see how to change the default login name and password.
