Conguring via Web Management Interface
To change the guest network name (SSID) and password:
The default SSID is TP-LINK_GUEST_XXXX for 2.4GHz guest
network and TP-LINK_GUEST_XXXX_5G for 5GHz guest network,
and the default password is 12345670. You can change the
default ones by directly entering new ones in the field. SSID is
up to 32 characters, and the value in both SSID and password is
case-sensitive.
Now you can tell your guests to connect to the guest network
you created.
3. 10. MAC Filter
This function exploits the uniqueness of the MAC (Medium Access Control) address,
a unique 12-digit hexadecimal address (for example, D8-5D-4C-B4-46-EA) of every
network device, to determine if the device can or cannot access your wireless network.
Prevent unauthorized users from accessing my wireless network
by utilizing the network device’s MAC address.
For example, I have a computer that is connected to my wireless
network. Now, an unknown device (an intruder) is also using my
wireless network, which affects my Internet speed. I would like
to control my wireless network with the following capabilities:
• My computer is always allowed to access the wireless network.
• The unknown device is not allowed to access the wireless
network.
• I don’t have to keep changing my wireless password as often.
1. Connect to the powerline extender wirelessly. Visit http://
tplinkplc.net, and log in with the password you set for the
