 Note:

If you want to use the router to share files or printer, plug the USB storage device to the USB port or connect the printer to the router with a matching cable.

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide

This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.

3.1TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1 and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.

Connect the local PC to the Ethernet ports of the router and then you can configure the IP address for your PC by the following method: Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in «Obtain an IP address automatically» mode on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: Configuring the PC. Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC and the router. The following example is in Windows XP OS.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.1, and then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC and the router has been established well.

Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command

Archer C5 AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router

If the result displayed is similar to Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC and the router failed.

Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command

Please check the connection following these steps:

1.Is the connection between your PC and the router correct?

Note:

The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of Ethernet ports which you link to on the router and LEDs on your PC’s adapter should be lit.

2.Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?

Note:

If the router’s IP address is 192.168.0.1, your PC’s IP address must be within the range of 192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254.

3.Is the default LAN IP of the router correct?

Note:

If the LAN IP of the modem connected with your router is 192.168.0.x, the default LAN IP of the router will automatically switch from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 to avoid IP conflict. Therefore, in order to verify the network connection between your PC and the router, you can open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

3.2Quick Installation Guide

With a Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS with a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari.

1.To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type in the default IP address http://tplinkwifi.net in the address field.

The Internet connection can be disconnected automatically after a specified inactivity period and re-established when you attempt to access the Internet again.

Click the Connect button to connect immediately. Click the Disconnect button to disconnect immediately.

Caution: Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you specify a time to Max Idle Time because some applications are visiting the Internet continually in the background.

Click the Save button to save your settings.

5.If your ISP provides L2TP connection, please select L2TP/Russia L2TP option. And you should enter the following parameters (Figure 4-8):

Figure 4-8 WAN — L2TP/Russia L2TP

Figure 4-10 LAN

MAC Address — The physical address of the router, as seen from the LAN. The value can’t be changed.

IP Address — Enter the IP address of your router or reset it in dotted-decimal notation (factory default: 192.168.0.1).

Subnet Mask — An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

 Note:

1)If you change the IP Address of LAN, you must use the new IP Address to log in the router.

2)If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the IP Address pool of the DHCP server will change accordingly at the same time while the Virtual Server and DMZ Host will not take effect until they are re-configured.

4.4.3MAC Clone

Choose menu “Network → MAC Clone”, you can configure the MAC address of the WAN on the screen below, Figure 4-11:

Figure 4-11 MAC Address Clone

Some ISPs require that you register the MAC Address of your adapter. Changes are rarely needed here.
