Address Reservation

You can reserve an IP address for a specific client. When you specify a reserved IP
address for a PC on the LAN, this PC will always receive the same IP address each time
when it accesses the DHCP server.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the
router.
2. Go to DHCP > Address
3. Click Add New and fill in the blank.
1 ) Enter the MAC address (in XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX format.) of the client for which
you want to reserve an IP address.
2 ) Enter the IP address (in dotted-decimal notation) which you want to reserve for
the client.
3 ) Leave the Status
4 ) Click Save.

Forwarding

The router's NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices on 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 hosts cannot initiatively communicate with the specified devices
in the local network.
