You can control the local devices’ authority to manage the AP via Local Management
feature. By default all local connected devices are allowed to manage the AP. You can
also specify one device to manage the AP and enable local management over a more
secure way, HTTPS.

management over HTTPS.

Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the password you set for the AP.

Go to
Advanced
>
System Tools
>
Administration
, and locate the
Local Management
section.

Enable
Local Management via HTTPS
and keep the
Port for HTTP
and
Port for
HTTPS
as the default settings. Enter the
IP address
or
MAC address
of the local
device to manage the AP.

.
Now, you can manage the AP over both HTTP (
http://tplinkwifi.net
) and HTTPS (
https://
tplinkwifi.net
).
Note:
If you want all local devices can manage the AP, just leave the
IP/MAC Address
field blank.

By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the AP from the internet. You
can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed. HTTPS is a more
secure way to access the AP.
