Q: How to set up a Dynamic DNS service account on High Power Wireless N Router (Router mode--new logo)
A:

[Assistant]
Most ISPs assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change from time to time and you don’t know when it changes. In this case, you might apply the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) feature on the router to allow you and your friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using a domain name without 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 router.
Here we take TL-WR941HP for demonstration.
1. This feature is only available when the router is set to Router mode. Please make sure you have configured the router correctly according to the instructions below.
How to configure Router Mode of High Power Wireless N Router? (new logo)

Q: How to set up TP-LINK DDNS on TP-Link Wireless Router (New Logo)
A:

[Assistant]
Note:
1. This FAQ is suitable for TP-Link wireless routers with cloud functions, such as Archer C8 V3, Archer C9 V3/V4, and so on.
2. Currently most of the applicable models only support the online upgrade feature, and other cloud functions will be added in the future firmware.
3. As for Archer C5400 V1, only the EU version supports the cloud services. Please check the hardware version on the label on the back of the router.
Most ISPs (Internet service providers) assign a dynamic IP address to the router and you can use this IP address to access your router remotely. However, the IP address can change at 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 router to allow you and your friends to access your router and local servers (FTP, HTTP, etc.) using a domain name, in no need of checking and remembering the dynamic IP addresses.
TP-LINK is one of the DDNS service providers on TP-Link wireless routers with cloud functions.
Here follow the steps below to set up your TP-LINK DDNS.
Step 1
Register and bind your TP-Link cloud account to the TP-Link wireless router. For how to, please click here.
Step2
Go to Advance > Network > Dynamic DNS. Select TP-LINK as the DDNS service provider. Click Register, enter a hostname to create your own domain name, for example, test.tplinkdns.com. Then just click Save and the domain name will be bound to your router automatically.
Notes:
Make sure you have internet when you’re registering a TP-LINK domain name.
If you fail to register a TP-LINK domain name, it means your domain name has been registered by others. Please try to change another hostname.
Your domain name will be bound to the external public IP address of your network. So don’t worry if the ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.1.x) to the router.
If you want to change the domain name, just click Unbind and Delete your current domain name. Then tap Register to bind a new one.

Q: How to configure Address Reservation on the TP-Link Wi-Fi Routers (new designed blue UI)
A:

[Assistant]
When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC in the LAN, the PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it connects to the DHCP server. If there are some PCs in the LAN that require static IP addresses, please configure Address Reservation on the router for the purpose.
Follow the steps below.
Step 1
Access the web interface of Archer C9. Please refer to How to log in to the web-based interface of the Wi-Fi router (new designed blue UI) to access the web interface
  Step 2
Then we can go to Advanced -> Network -> DHCP Server-> Address Reservation to do the settings. We would show you the difference between 3 situations.
  Situation One
Suitable for Archer C3200, Archer C50 V2.
1. Click the Add button.
  2. Enter the MAC address of the device for which you want to reserve IP address.
 You can enter the MAC address as uppercase or lowercase, and use the colon symbol between them, but the dash symbol is invalid.
 For example , you can enter the MAC address as AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff . But AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF or aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff would be invalid.
  3. Specify the IP address which will be reserved by the router.
 The IP address must be on the same subnet with the LAN IP, and it cannot be a reserved IP address.
 For example, the default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, so you can reserve the IP address from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
  4. Check Enable This Entry and click OK to make the settings effective.
 The IP address reservation is configured successfully, and you can see the rule shown as below. If you forget to check Enable This Entry, then we can see a red circle below enable. Please    click on the red circle then you can enable it.
       5. Finally, please click on the Reboot button on the right top corner, then all the settings would take effect.
    Situation Two
Suitable for Archer C3150, Archer C9
  There is something different from the situation one, we could enter description for the rule. It’s recommended for you to enter numbers and characters, but space or special symbol would be invalid.
  Situation Three
Suitable for AD7200, Archer C5400, Archer C2600, Touch P5
  Here we add a new function , click View Existing Devices button , choose the clients , then the MAC address and IP address would be filled automatically.

Q: How to set up Wake-on-LAN on wireless router
A:

[Assistant]
What is Wake-on-LAN?
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is an Ethernet or Token ring computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or awakened by a network message. The message is usually sent by a program executed on other devices. It is also possible to initiate the message from another network by using subnet directed broadcasts or a WOL gateway service.
Hardware requirements
The mainboard and wired network adapter must support Wake-on-LAN feature.
Software requirements
WakeOnLanGui,LanHelper for Windows or RemoteBoot for IOS.
Here we take RemoteBoot as an example.
Set up steps:
1. Enter BIOS when start up the computer. Then enable ‘Resume by PCI Device’ and ‘Resume by PCI-E Device’. Usually this option is in power management menu.
2. Turn on the computer and go to Control Panel--Network and Internet--Network and Sharing Center--Local area connection--Properties--Configure--Advanced. Then Enable ShutDown Wake-On-Lan, Wake on Magic Packet and Wake on pattem match.
After the settings are done on the computer, we need to do some setting on our Router.
Wake up a PC on WAN side
1.Check MAC address and IP address of the computer need Wake-on-LAN. We call it PC 1 here.
2.Set IP&MAC binding of PC 1 on our router and enable IP&MAC binding function.
3. Set Address reservation for PC 1 on our router.
4. Open a port for PC 1 by port forwarding function such as virtual server. Here we open port number 3000.
5. Now we check the WAN IP address of the Router PC 1 connected. Here the WAN IP is 113.88.198.136 .
Note:
The WAN IP address is a dynamic IP usually and it may change at any time. In this case, you may try to set up the DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) on the router following the FAQ. On the RemoteBoot app, the IP will be a domain name you registered with DDNS instead of the WAN IP.
6. Run RemoteBoot app on iPhone from the WAN side. Then fill in the information like below and click BOOT. You can see PC 1 will start up after you click it.

Q: How to configure Static Routing on wireless routers
A:

[Assistant]
NOTE： For the new UI, please refer to another FAQ: How to Create Static Routing on TP-Link Routers
Overview:
A static route is a pre-determined path that network information must follow to reach a specific host or network.
Here are two typical scenarios, as examples of when a static route is needed, consider the following case.
Scenario 1:
Issue: The gateway of PC is router2 which connected the Internet, but when PC visit servers in intranet, firstly the request will be sent to router2. Because there is no route to server1 and server2 on route table of router2, thus the request will be thrown away.
Resolution: Therefore, if you want PC to visit servers in intranet, you have to set up a static route on router2 helps your packet route to router1.
Net parameter：Servers in net segment: 172.30.30.0. IP subnet mask for this net segment is 255.255.255.0
Scenario 2:
Issue: The gateway of LAN network is router 1, and router2 WDS router1’s signal.
But there is no route record from router2 to NTP server on route table of router2, therefore, router2 can’t get synchronization time from server.
Resolution: In order to solving the issue, you have to set up a static route on router2.
Net parameter：The IP of Server in Internet is 132.163.4.101. IP subnet mask for this address is 255.255.255.255
Steps of Configurations:
Step 1
Login configure page of router.
According to scenario 1 and scenario 2: type 192.168.0.1 in address bar,
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 Advanced Routing button on the left side of the screen, then select Static Routing List(in 54Mbps Wireless Router, the name of button is Static Routing).
Refer to picture:
And the page of Static Routing would appear on the screen:
Step 4
Click Add New….
Input destination network, subnet mask, default gateway, select status and save it.
Please refer to following introduction to input parameter.
Introduction：
In 1st bar, type the IP address of destination.
In 2ndbar, type the IP subnet mask for this destination.
In 3rdbar, type the gateway IP address, that must be on the same LAN segment as the router.
As per scenario 1, for net segment
As per scenario 2, for single IP address
If there are any further problems, please contact TP-Link Support.

Q: What’s VPN Passthrough?
A:

[Assistant]
What’s a VPN?
A virtual private network (VPN) is a point-to-point connection across a private or public network (Internet). For example, VPNs allow you to securely access your company's intranet at home.
  What’s VPN Passthrough? Why do I need it?
SOHO routers allow several computers to share the same internet connection by implementing a feature called NAPT. However, NAPT also prevents VPN traffic. That’s why we need a feature called VPN Passthrough.
VPN Passthrough allows the VPN traffic to pass through the Router. Thereby we can establish VPN connections to remote network.
Which router supports VPN Passthrough? What types of VPN are supported?
All TP-Link routers support VPN Passthrough for PPTP, L2TP and IPSec (ESP).
Note: VPN Passthrough does NOT mean the router can create a VPN endpoint. VPN Passthrough is a feature that allows VPN traffic created by other endpoints to "pass through" the router.
  How to configure VPN Passthrough?
Most of TP-Link routers enable VPN Passthrough by default. You can enable/disable this function in the router’s management webpage. Take Archer C7 for an example:

Q: How to make Xbox online games run smoothly by UPnP (new logo)
A:

[Assistant]
The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the local network and the internet can freely communicate with each other thus realizing the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc.
Tips:
• UPnP is enabled by default in this router.
