11. 4. LAN Settings
11. 4. 1. Change the LAN IP Address
The router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.1.1, which you can use to log in to
its web-based management page. The LAN IP address together with the Subnet Mask
also defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address conflicts
with another device on your local network or your network requires a specific IP subnet,
you can change it.
Follow the steps below to change your IP address.
1.
Visit
http://tplinkmodem.net
,
and log in with the password you set for the router.
2.
Go to
Advanced
>
Network
>
LAN Settings
page.
3.
Type in a new
IP Address
as needed.
4.
Select the
Subnet Mask
from the drop-down list. The subnet mask together with
the IP address identifies the local IP subnet.
