This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your TL-WR843N 300Mbps
Wireless AP/Client Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.

TCP/IP Configuration

The default domain name of the TL-WR843N 300Mbps Wireless AP/Client Router is
http://tplinkwifi.net, the default IP address is 192.168.0.1, and the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default
values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address
for your PC in the following two ways.


1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,

from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1 (The Router's
default IP address)

2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows XP.
