Customize Your Network Settings
1 ) Select DHCPv6 Server as the address type to make the mesh device assign
IPv6 addresses to hosts.
2 ) Specify the Starting/Ending IPv6 Address for the IPv6 suffixes. The mesh
device will generate IPv6 addresses within the specified range.
3 ) Keep Address Lease Time as the default setting.
4 ) Keep Site Prefix Type as the default value Delegated. If your ISP has provided a
specific IPv6 site prefix, select Static and enter the prefix.
5 ) Keep WAN Connection as the default setting.
4. Click Save to make the settings effective.
6. 3. Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account
Most ISPs (Internet service providers) assign a dynamic IP address to the mesh device
and you can use this IP address to access your mesh device remotely. However, the
IP address can change any time and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you
might need the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the mesh device to
allow you and your friends to access your mesh device and local servers (FTP, HTTP,
etc.) using domain name, in no need of checking and remembering the IP address.
Note: DDNS does not work if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the mesh device.
To set up DDNS, please follow the instructions below:
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 > Network > Dynamic DNS.
3. Select the Service Provider (TP-Link/Dyndns/NO-IP).
