Manage Your APAP
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 AP over HTTPS.
1.
Visit
http://tplinkwifi.net
, and log in with the password you set for the AP.
2.
Go to
Advanced
>
System Tools
>
Administration
, and locate the
Remote
Management
section.
3.
Enable
Remote Management
and
Remote Management via HTTPS
to allow for
HTTPS connection. Keep the
Port
as the default setting.
4.
Set the client device allowed for remote management. Select
All
to allow all remote
devices to manage the AP. If you just want to allow a specific device to manage the
AP, select
Only the Following IP/MAC Address
and enter the IP/MAC address of the
remote device.
5.
Click
Save
.
All devices or the specific device on the internet can log in to your AP using the address
displayed on the
Manage This Router via the Address
field to manage the AP.
Tips:
1. If you were warned about the certificate when visiting the web management page remotely, click
Trust
(or a similar
option) to continue. To avoid this warning, you can download and install the certificate on the AP’s web management
page at
Advanced
>
System Tools
>
Administration
.
2. The AP’s WAN IP is usually a dynamic IP. Please refer to
Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
if you want to log in
to the AP through a domain name.
