This function exploits the uniqueness of the MAC (Medium Access Control) address,
a unique 12-digit hexadecimal address (for example, D8:5D:4C:B4:46:EA) of every

How can I
do that?
To change the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless
password:
The default SSID is TP-LINK_GUEST_XXXX, and the default
password is 12345670. You can change the default ones by
directly entering new ones in the field. SSID is up to 32 characters,
and the value in both SSID and password is case-sensitive.
Note:
Remember to write down the new SSID and password, for you will be disconnected
when new settings are effective.
Now you can tell your guests to connect to the guest network
you created.
Prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network
by utilizing the network device's MAC address and IP address.

network. Now, an unknown device (an intruder) is also using my
wireless network, which affects my Internet speed. I would like
to control my wireless network with the following capabilities:
• My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network.
• The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless
network.
• I don't have to keep changing my wireless password as often.
