You can control the local devices’ authority to manage the router via Local Management
feature. By default all local connected devices are allowed to manage the router. You
can also specify one device to manage the router and enable local management over
a more secure way, HTTPS.
Follow the steps below to allow only the specific device to manage the router via the
local management over HTTPS.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.0.1, and log in with the password you set
for the router.
2. Go to Advanced > System Tools > Administration, and locate the Local Management
section.
3. Enable Local 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 router.
4. Click Save.
Now, you can manage the router over both HTTP (http://tplinkwifi.net) and HTTPS
(https://tplinkwifi.net).
