tp link 5210 configuration

First of all, you have the complete information about your own router in order to configure the settings of your router.  Let us take the information given below as an example.

SSID: TP-Link-test

Encryption Type: wpa2-psk

LAN IP: 192.166.0.258

Password: 0123456

The DHCP function on the AP is disabled by default, you have to assign an IP address manually for the device to match the IP address of the client.  You have to configure the IP address first by entering as 192.168.1.100.  Then connect your computer to the LAN port by using an Ethernet cable.

The following are the various steps for the configuration.

•             Open the web browser and then log in to the management page of the client by entering the web address as http://192.168.1.254 or search the web for tp link router setup page and then press the enter button.

•             Then you will be redirected to a new page, where you have to enter your username and password to proceed further.  Type the username and password both as “admin” in the space provided and then click on the OK icon.  

•             In the next page, tap on to the Network on the left side menu.  In order to avoid the conflict, make sure that the IP address that you have entered is same IP segment with the Routers too.  Then you need to change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.1  and login in again.

•             Under the Operational Mode select the AP/Standard AP mode, and after that just click on Save.

•             Under the Wireless, tap on to the Wireless mode.  Then you have to select the client as the wireless Mode and then click Survey.

•             In the next step, using the AP list just find the Root Router’s SSID and then click on to Connect.

•             After that click save if you see the message Config Upload Sucessfully! And wait for a few seconds until it refreshes back to the status page.
