Administrate Your Network
Now, you can manage the modem router over both HTTP (http://tplinkmodem.net) and
HTTPS (https://tplinkmodem.net).
Note:
If you want that all local devices can manage the modem router, just leave the
IP/MAC Address
field blank.
14 6 Remote Management
By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the modem router from the
internet. You can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed.
HTTPS is a more secure way to access the router.
Note:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), you cannot use the remote management
feature because private addresses are not routed on the internet.
Follow the steps below to allow remote devices to manage the modem router over
HTTPS.
