How to connect a router

The delivery set of the router includes:

• Router TL-WR841N;
• Power adapter;
• Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors;
• CD for quick setup;
• Management.

We unpack the box and proceed with the installation and connection of the router. First, we connect the device to power using the adapter and press the Power button on the back panel (if the indicators on the router light up themselves after power is applied, then you do not need to press the button).

Next, using the included Ethernet cable, we connect the router and computer. We plug one end of the cable into one of the four yellow LAN ports of the router, and the other into the connector of the PC's network card. Then we connect the cable coming from the Internet provider or ADSL modem to the blue WAN connector of the router.

In principle, that's all, now you can proceed directly to configuring the router, but first let us make a reservation that it comes with a CD with a utility that allows you to quickly configure the router in step-by-step mode. We will not consider this method, because the configuration option via the web interface is preferable.

Basic configuration of the TP-Link TL-WR841N router

Since the router will now be responsible for connecting to the Internet and distributing it, the need for the previously created in Windows high speed connection no. At the same time, connecting via local network connecting your computer and router needs to be configured. Go to Control Panel - Network Control Center and general access- Change adapter settings... Right-click on active connection and select the item "Properties".

On the “Network” tab, set the switches to “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain a DNS server address automatically”.

Also in position automatic tuning put the switch on the "Alternative configuration" tab. We save the changes with the "OK" button.

Now we launch any browser and write in the address bar http://tplinklogin.net/ or 192.168.0.1 ... Then, in the window that opens, enter the username and password - by default, this is admin and admin.

The default username and password can be found on a label on the bottom of the router. Look at it and make sure again that all the login information for the web interface is TP-Link settings TL-WR841N entered correctly.

If everything is done correctly, you will be taken to the administration panel. Here we immediately go to the Internet settings.

Internet setup (WAN)

Select "Network" from the menu on the left (in the English-language interface - Network), and then the WAN section. In the WAN Connection Type drop-down list, select the required type of connection to the provider.

There are the following options:

• Dynamic IP address;
• Static IP address;
• PPPoE;
• L2TP;
• PPTP.

It makes no sense for you to delve into the essence of all these types of connection. Information about which one to choose is provided by the provider. Also, the Internet service provider transmits authorization data to the client - username and password. If you suddenly forgot these data, then they can be spied on in the contract. The second option is to call the provider's support service.

So, we set up a WAN connection according to the following schemes:

• When choosing dynamic IP no additional action is required;
• Option Static IP address provides for the entry of the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS. We remind you that all this data is provided by the service provider, i.e. your provider.
• Connection type PPPoE requires a username and password.
• When choosing a connection L2TP the username, password and IP-address / Name of the VPN server are specified.
• Connection type PPTP It will also ask you to enter a username, password and IP address / VPN server name.

After all the data has been entered, we press the “Save” button. The Internet should work.

After configuring the Wi-Fi router TP-Link TL-WR841N, there is no Internet access

In case you set everything up clearly according to the instructions, but as a result the Internet does not work, you need to do the following:

If none of the above steps help, the router might be malfunctioning. To make sure the device is working, try connecting it with friends or acquaintances.

Wi-Fi setup

Providing opportunity wireless connection to the Internet is one of the most important functions of a router. Let's move on to the Wi-Fi settings for TP-Link TL-WR841N.

We go to the section Wireless Mode - Settings wireless mode (Wireless - Wireless Settings). We set the name of our Wi-Fi network and select the region.

Below are network settings that, in certain situations, can affect signal quality and coverage. We will not focus on them, since this is a topic for another big conversation. Leave all parameters at their default values ​​and save the settings.

Now we need to protect our wireless network from unauthorized connection of third-party users. Select the item "Wireless Security" on the left.

Set the switch to "WPA / WPA2 - Personal (recommended)". Next, select the version, encryption type and set the password. We save the made changes.

Setting a new administrator password

The standard username and password for accessing administrative settings makes your TP-Link TL-WR841N router very vulnerable, so it is better to change them immediately. We go along the way System Tools - Password (System Tools - Password). Here we enter the old and new data for authorization (you can only change the password, and leave the username admin), and then click “Save”.

The password can be written down somewhere so as not to forget.

Perhaps on this basic setup Wi-Fi router TP-Link TL-WR841N completed. Of course, there are many more functions that can be useful to users. However, this will be a more subtle configuration, requiring a separate article. We achieved the main goal - set up the Internet and Wi-Fi.

For all settings to take effect, we restart the router. This can be done programmatically through the section ( System Tools - Reboot) or physically by turning off the power. After downloading, a Wi-Fi network with the specified name should appear, to connect to which you will need to enter a password. The Internet must work in both "wired" and wireless modes.
