Manage Your Mesh Device
Note: 
If you want all local devices can manage the mesh device, just leave the IP/MAC Address field blank.
16. 7. 3.  Remote Management
By default, the remote devices are not allowed to manage the mesh device from the 
internet. You can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed. 
HTTPS is a more secure way to access the mesh device.
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 mesh device over HTTPS.
1.  Visit http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.88.1, and log in with the password you 
set for the mesh device.
2.  Go to Advanced >  System Tools >  Administration, and locate the Remote 
Management section.
3.  Enable  Remote Management and Remote Management via HTTPS to allow for 
HTTPS connection. Keep the Port as the default setting.
4.  Set the client device allowed for remote management. Select All to allow all remote 
devices to manage the mesh device. If you just want to allow a specific device to 
manage the mesh device, select Only the Following IP/MAC Address and enter the 
IP/MAC address of the remote device. 
5.  Click Save.
