How to configure Address Reservation on TP-Link wireless router

When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC in the LAN, the PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it connects the DHCP server. If there are some PCs in the LAN that require permanent IP addresses, please configure Address Reservation on the router for the purpose.

Step 1

Open the web browser and in the address bar type in: http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://tplinklogin.net. Then press Enter.

Note:

The LAN IP changes by model. Please find it on the bottom label of the product.

Step 2

Type the username and password in the login page. They are both admin in lower case.

Step 3

Click DHCP->Address Reservation on the left side and click Add New button.

MAC Address: The MAC address of the device where you want to reserve IP address.

Reserved IP Address: The IP address of the device which will be reserved by the router.
