Q: How to use bandwidth control on TP-Link wireless router
A:

[Assistant]
For the new UI, please refer to the FAQ: How to use bandwidth control or Speed Limit on TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers?
Why we need Bandwidth Control?
Within a normal home network, the bandwidth is shared by all computers. This means any computer using high-bandwidth applications, for example torrent programs or other P2P software, will affect the other computers. This may also include negative influence on the performance of the entire network. How can we avoid this?
The answer is Bandwidth Control, which is designed to minimize the impact caused when the connection is under heavy load. Using Bandwidth Control, we can assign a specific minimum or maximum bandwidth for each computer, which means they have less interference on each other. Please follow the steps below to configure this feature.
How to configure Bandwidth Control?
The scenario below will take 3 computers sharing 512Kbps Egress Bandwidth and 4Mbps Ingress Bandwidth as an example, and explain how to use Bandwidth Control to optimize the load respectively.
Scenario:
Example:①PC1 often plays online game and downloads files which uses the most part of bandwidth.
②PC2 is used for watching movies on the Internet which also needs much bandwidth.
③PC3 is used for browsing websites usually, so it only needs a few bandwidth.
Please log in to the web management interface to setup bandwidth control.
Step 1
Open the web browser and in the address bar type in the default access like:: http://tplinkwifi.net
Note:
Please find the default access on the bottom label of the product.
Step 2
Type the username and password in the login page. The default username and password are both admin in lower case.
Step 3
Click on Bandwidth Control-Control Settings on the left menu.
Note:
For example, if you have a ADSL Modem, please choose “ADSL” on the line type. If you don’t know how to choose the Line Type, please contact your ISP which line type you have access.
The Egress Bandwidth and Ingress Bandwidth should be the real bandwidth given by your ISP. (1Mbps=1024Kbps)
Step 4
Click Save to save the Settings.
Step 5
Click Bandwidth Control -> Rules List on the left page, you can view and configure the rules.
Step 6
Click Add New to add a new rule.
IP Range-Single IP address or IP address Range. When you configure the single IP address, the computer with this IP address will get independent given bandwidth. When you configure the IP address range, all computers in the range will share the given bandwidth.
Port Range-The port arrange of TCP protocol or UDP protocol.
Protocol-You can choose the TCP protocol or UDP protocol or both of them.
Egress Bandwidth - The max and the min upload speed which through the WAN port, default number is 0.
Ingress Bandwidth - The max and the min download speed through the WAN port, default number is 0.
NOTE:
You’d better set static IP Address on your local computers or configure Address reservation on the wireless router in order to manage easily.
About how to configure TCP/IP properties on your computer, please refer to FAQ 14
About how to configure Address Reservation, please refer to FAQ 182
Step 7
According to the demand of clients, the bandwidth could be allocated as following.
From the rules, the max Bandwidth can ensure that PC1 and PC2 can take up all bandwidth when it’s alone to access the Internet and the min Bandwidth can ensure that they have the necessary bandwidth when more than one PC work at the same time.
Note: The amount of Min Egress Bandwidth and Min Ingress Bandwidth you configure should be less than Egress Bandwidth and Ingress Bandwidth you configure on Bandwidth Control settings page previously.
Step 8
Enable the Bandwidth Control and click the Save button on Bandwidth Control Settings to take effect.

Q: How to set up a VPN Server or VPN Client on your TL-WR1502X Travel Router
A:

[Assistant]
The TL-WR1502X Travel Router supports functionality for both VPN Server and VPN Client configurations, enabling it to meet all your VPN service needs.
By setting up a VPN server on your router, your connections to the router will become invisible to the internet, helping you access internet resources remotely, securely, and privately. If you set up a VPN Client on your router, all of its connected devices can enjoy the VPN services without installing VPN client software on each device.
VPN Server allows remote devices to access your home network securely through the internet. The router supports four types of VPN Server:
OpenVPN is somewhat complex but has higher security and more stability, making it suitable for restricted environments such as campus networks and company intranets.
PPTP VPN is easy to use with the built-in VPN software of computers and mobile devices, but it is vulnerable and may be blocked by some ISPs.
L2TP/IPSec VPN is more secure but slower than PPTP VPN and may have trouble getting around firewalls.
WireGuard VPN is a secure, fast, and modern VPN protocol. It is based on the UDP protocol and uses modern encryption algorithms to improve work efficiency.
VPN Client allows devices in your home network to access remote VPN servers without installing VPN software on each device.
Follow the steps below to set up your VPN Server on your TL-WR1502X Travel Router.
Use OpenVPN to Access Your Home Network
In the OpenVPN connection, the home network can act as a server, and the remote device can access the server through the router, which acts as an OpenVPN Server gateway.
To use the VPN feature, you should enable OpenVPN Server on your router and install and run VPN client software on the remote device. Please follow the steps below to set up an OpenVPN connection.
Visit http://tplinkwifi.net and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router.
Go to Advanced > VPN Server > OpenVPN and tick the Enable box for OpenVPN.
Enter the necessary information and save the settings.
Service Type: Select the service type (communication protocol) for OpenVPN: UDP/TCP.
Service Port: Enter a VPN service port to which a VPN device connects. The port number should be between 1024 and 65535.
VPN Subnet/Netmask: Enter the range of IP addresses that can be leased to the device by the OpenVPN server.
Client Access: Select your client access type. Select Home Network Only if you only want the remote device to access your home network. Select Internet and Home Network if you also want the remote device to access the Internet through the VPN server.
Click GENERATE to get a new certificate.
Click EXPORT to save the OpenVPN configuration file, which the remote device will use to access your router.
Click SAVE.
Now, you must configure your remote device's OpenVPN connection.

Q: How to set up Multi-WAN Backup on Your TL-WR1502X Travel Router
A:

[Assistant]
Multi-WAN Backup is a feature that, when enabled, allows you to configure two Internet connection sources for your TL-WR1502X Travel Router: a primary WAN for your default Internet connection and a secondary WAN for backup. This means that if your primary WAN connection fails, the Tl-WR1502X Travel Router will automatically switch to the backup Internet source via the secondary WAN, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity at all times.
Before You Start
Make sure your portable router is working in Router or USB Internet Mode. Multi-WAN Backup is available only in these modes.
To change the operation modes for your router:
Toggle the Mode Switch on the router to your desired mode. Wait for 2 minutes until the router reboots automatically.
Refer to How to set up the TL-WR1502X Travel Router to set up your TL-WR1502X.
Set Up Multi-WAN Backup
The following steps will guide you through setting up Multi-WAN Backup for your TL-WR1502X Travel Router.
Visit http://tplinkwifi.net and log in with the username and password you set for the router.
Go to Advanced > Network > Multi-WAN Backup.
Enable Multi-WAN Backup.
In Network Connection Priority, you can modify the connection priority and settings.
Click  to enter the connection settings menu for Router mode USB Internet Tethering mode.
Click  to adjust the Multi-WAN Backup priority. The first mode will be the primary connection mode, and the second one will be the backup connection mode. The backup mode will take over when the primary connection fails, and your network will remain connected.
The router uses Ping to periodically check the router mode's connection status and USB Internet to identify whether the internet is available. You can edit the following parameters:
Track Interval - The time interval between consecutive ICMP echo requests. You are recommended to keep it as the default.
Change to unavailable/available if Ping failed/succeeded for X Times - The connection status will change to Disconnected/Connected if the Ping Failure/ Success times reach the value you set.
IPv4 Track IP/Domain Name - Enter the IP address or domain name of the tested host or other network device to check the connectivity between the router. You can add up to four items.

Q: How to Connect Your TL-WR1502X Travel Router to a Hotspot with a Captive Portal
A:

[Assistant]
When we try connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, such as airports, hotels, and coffee shops, a web page (also known as the Captive Portal) appears for authentication. We’re required to fill in a username or password before we are allowed to access the public network.
With a TP-Link Travel Router, such as the TL-WR1502X, you can complete the authentication once during the quick setup. Then, all your devices, including laptops, smartphones, tablets, and more, can connect to the wireless network without having to authenticate each device.
Follow the steps below to connect your travel router to a hotspot with a captive portal:
Connect your router as shown below.
Set the Mode Switch to Hotspot.
Power on the router. Wait until the router’s LED turns into solid red.
Connect your device to the router (wireless or wired).
Wireless: Connect your device to the router’s Wi-Fi. The default wireless network names (SSIDs) and wireless password are printed on the Wi-Fi info card and the label at the bottom of the router.
Wired: Turn off your device's Wi-Fi and connect to the router's WAN or LAN port with an Ethernet cable.
Launch a web browser and enter http://tplinkwifi.net or http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar. Create a password to log in.
Start the Quick Setup, ensure the operation mode is Hotspot, and click NEXT.
Select your time zone.
Select the public network you want to connect to and enter the password, if any.
Select the internet connection type and complete the settings. If unsure, use Dynamic IP in most cases or consult the ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Note: If the public hotspot requires Captive Portal Authentication, complete it during the Quick Setup before accessing the network.
Personalize the wireless settings. You can keep the default wireless settings or customize a new one.
If it requires captive portal authentication, a pop-up window will appear as below. Click the Open Captive Portal Login Page to complete the authentication.
The following illustration is, for example, only; the actual pages may differ from actual networks.
Note: If the captive portal does not appear, try the following methods:
Method 1. Open any web page
Connect your smartphone or computer to the router, then open any website. You will be redirected to the portal login page.
Method 2. Change the MAC address.
Connect your smartphone to the public hotspot’s Wi-Fi. Find the smartphone’s MAC address on its Wi-Fi list and write it down.
Log in to the router's web management page and go to Advanced > Network > Internet > Router MAC Address. Select Use Custom MAC Address and enter the MAC address of your smartphone to connect to the public hotspot’s Wi-Fi.
Return to your router’s web management page and click FINISH.
The setup is complete. You can now connect your devices to the wireless network and enjoy the internet!
Note: If you have customized new wireless settings, reconnect your wireless devices to the new Wi-Fi network(s).
