Manage Your Controller
3. Enable Management over HTTPS and keep the Port for HTTP and Port for HTTPS
as the default settings. Enter the IP address or MAC address of the local device to
manage the controller.
4. Click Save.
Now, you can manage the controller over both HTTP (
http://tplinkwifi.net) and HTTPS
(
https://tplinkwifi.net).
Note:
If you want all local devices can manage the controller, just leave the IP/MAC Address field blank.
14. 7. 3. Remote Management
By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the controller from the
internet. You can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed.
HTTPS is a more secure way to access the controller.
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 controller over HTTPS.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the controller.
2. Go to
Advanced > System Tools > Administration, and locate the Remote
Management
section.
