The TP-Link TL WR 841 ND router is a popular device on the market, mainly used for home use. It can be configured without special knowledge or equipment. Now let's look at this process in detail.

Assembling and connecting the device

It looks like this:

After purchasing, you need to make sure that it is complete. A TP-Link wireless router must contain in the original packaging (in addition to the router itself) a power supply unit (hereinafter referred to as PSU), a patch cord (a short cable with a connector for a network card, needed for direct connection to a computer), as well as a disk with instructions. Having ensured the integrity of the kit, we proceed to the next stage.

Let's start connecting to the network

We assemble the device and connect it to the network
This router allows you to do without wires, but you still have to tinker with them a little to connect. So, we do the following:

• Having carefully opened the original packaging, we take out a set of our equipment. Tip: compare the current and voltage readings on the power supply with the factory parameters (description in the documentation). There are times when manufacturers include unsuitable models in the kit. Using a power supply with other current parameters will have a negative impact on the router - it may fail prematurely.
• We take the power supply and connect it to the router via the appropriate connector (TP-Link WR841N has one round connector, so it’s impossible to make a mistake).
• We insert the power supply into the 220V network. The device must fit tightly to avoid short circuit. Therefore, it is not advisable to insert it into old (“Soviet”) style sockets.

• Press the power button on the router. If the device is in working condition, the indicators will light up. The first one on the left should be constantly lit, and the one next to it should blink (this signals that the device is ready for operation).

Advice: if the lights do not light up, try connecting the power supply to another device (most have standard connectors). If it works, the problem is in the wifi router, otherwise in the unit itself.

• Next, we connect the cable from the provider to the router. It needs to be inserted into the WAN connector. If the 4th light starts to light up, it means there is internet.
• We connect the router and PC (or other device) using a patch cord. We install the first end into one of the four LAN connectors of the router, and the second into the PC’s network card.

Reset all parameters to factory values

This procedure is required if the device was purchased secondhand. Because there may be a non-standard TP-Link firmware WR841ND, or simply incorrect given parameters. However, there are often cases when devices in the factory packaging are incorrectly configured. This is due to the fact that they can be tested in stores.

So, to bring the settings to the default values, press the WPS|Reset button and hold for half a minute. The router will reboot - this will signal that the settings have been reset. If, while trying to configure the TP router, you allowed fatal errors, this procedure will return everything to its original position.

Working with the interface

Before going into the router settings, make sure that one of the standard browsers is installed on your computer. So, once in the browser, enter these numbers in the address bar (field at the top): 192.168.0.1. This is the router's default address.

Please note: for all models from TP-link there is also a universal address: http://tplinklogin.net.

After entering any of the addresses, press the “Enter” key. As a result, a user interface will open in which you need to log in. At this stage, you need to enter the standard layout “admin” in the “Username” and “password” fields. Finally, click on the login button. As a result, we will get to the interface where the TP-Link WR841ND is actually configured.

Login may fail for 2 reasons:

1. incorrect settings network card(old drivers, board disabled, etc.),
2. equipment malfunction.

Changing the default password

This procedure is optional, but if you live in apartment building, then there is a high probability that your neighbors will start using your Internet. In this case, its speed will decrease greatly (almost like on a modem). The change is made as follows:

· IN user interface Click on the “System tools” section, then “password”.

· Enter the default user data (admin).

· Then enter a new username and password. Duplicate the values ​​of e and confirm the changes by clicking on the “save” button.

Connecting to the Internet

Before setting up a TP-Link router, you will need to find out the type of connection (in most cases, this is enough to call customer support). You will also need user data from the provider.

Dynamic connection

Usually set by default. If a different type is specified in the interface, then in order to set it to dynamic, you need to do the following:

· In the “connection type” menu, click on “dynamic IP address”.

· Click on the “define” button.

As a result, the system will load the data after some time. When finished, save the changes

Connection type PPPoE

This is the most popular connection method used by the main Internet providers in the CIS countries. After looking at the user data, do the following:

· Enter user data (from the provider, not from the Wi-Fi connection!).

· We confirm.

· Check the box next to “Connect automatically” and save the settings.

Static method

More complex method for TP-Link WR841N, for which you will need to know a number of data: IP address, main gateway, subnet mask, DNS. Typically, these parameters are specified in the contract from the provider, so there should be no problems. If your computer has already established a connection from the current provider, this data can be found in the settings network card. To do this, you need to find it in the device manager and write down the parameters presented above. You can also contact subscriber service provider and request these characteristics.

We go to the WAN connection type, set the “static IP address” method and enter the characteristics presented above. In the MTU size field, we leave the default value only if the contract does not say anything about this item. We set the secondary DNS to: 8.8.8.8 (this is Google server). Finally, click the “save” button.

Don't forget to update the firmware

Software for network equipment is constantly being improved, so it needs to be updated. To do this, just download the required distribution kit from the developer’s website (tp-linkru.com). Before flashing the TP-Link WR841N router, look at the bottom of the case and find out the hardware version (denoted as Ver **, where ** is the version number).

By going to the website, select the version we are interested in and download it. To avoid losing your settings, you only need to update the firmware using a network cable via a computer. That is, you need to disconnect the WAN cable (from the provider) and connect the router to the computer via a patch cord. And then we proceed according to the instructions of the installation program.

Let's figure out how to connect a router from scratch, we'll go through the whole process step by step. We will also learn how to configure the TP-Link TL-WR841N router, set up the Internet, and distribute WiFi. We will answer the question of how to protect your own network and set a password for the connection.

Router indicators and connectors

First, let's look at the external indicators of the TP-Link TL-WR841N router. The list is presented in order from left to right.

• The first indicator is power. It has two states; if it lights up, it means the device is turned on. Otherwise, check that power is connected or turn on the router using the button on the rear panel.
• The gear icon represents the system. In the normal state of the router, the indicator blinks; if it is constantly on or, conversely, is turned off, there is an error in the system.
• Wireless data transmission. Under normal operating conditions, the indicator flashes, if the light is off, it means WiFi distribution disabled.
• The next five indicators are responsible for the connected devices. Disabled if there are no connections, constantly lit if a connection is established, but there is no activity from the device, and blinking when Internet access is being used.
• An indicator with a lock notifies you of WPS operation. Slow blinking accompanies the process of connecting the device; it is constantly on when the gadget is successfully connected and using Internet access. Fast flashing indicates connection problems.

On the back panel of the router there are connectors and control buttons.

• Turning the power on and off.
• Power connector for connecting the supplied power adapter.
• LAN 1-4 connectors for connecting to computers.
• WAN – port for Internet cable.
• WiFi management of wireless network access.
• WPS/RESET connection via WPS and resetting the router settings. Pressing for 5 seconds activates the connection function, holding the button for a longer time resets the current settings.

The wireless router is not overloaded with unnecessary elements. There are no other indicators, connectors or buttons on it.

How to connect to a laptop or computer

To configure the TP Link TL-WR841N router, you need to connect it to a laptop or computer. This can be done using a network cable or via WiFi; we will analyze each connection method. But before you start, you should connect the router to a power source and turn it on with the button on the rear panel.

Via cable

A special network cable for connection is included in the kit wireless router. To connect, it is enough to match one end of the cable to any LAN connector on the router, and plug the second one into a PC or laptop instead of an Internet cable.

The Internet provider cable itself needs to be plugged into the TP-Link, WAN connector.

Via WiFi

To connect the router to a computer via WiFi, simply turn on the router and connect to the access point that appears. It differs from the others in the absence of a password and the characteristic name TP-LINK_079876, the last digits may change.

Using WiFi, you can configure the router even from a tablet or smartphone; it is not necessary to connect to a PC.

Step-by-step instructions for setting up the Internet on the router

And now directly setting up the TP-Link TL-WR841N. We remember that the router is first turned on and connected to the computer, and also connected to the Internet.

How to reset all settings

Sometimes, in order to configure the TP-Link TL-WR841N router, you must first reset all parameters. Typically, this need arises when the web interface does not open or the standard authorization pair is not suitable.

To reset the current settings, use the WPS/RESET button on the rear panel. Press it and hold it for more than 5 seconds. The indicators that light up simultaneously will indicate that the desired process is taking place.

Login to the web interface

The TP Link router is configured through a special interface.

As a result, the router settings will open. If something goes wrong and you have problems logging in, reset the settings, reboot the router and try again.

Dynamic IP

If the connection type set by the provider is dynamic IP, then you will not have to configure any configurations. Select a given type, save changes and test network access.

Static IP

If the provider uses a static IP, then we configure the TP-Link TL-WR841N based on the parameters provided by the Internet service provider. The user will have to fill in fields such as:

Specify the required values ​​in the service contract or contact the department technical support Internet access company.

PPPoE

If this type of connection is used for the TP-Link TL-WR841N router, you will have to fill out several fields to set the desired configuration.

If necessary, check the box for automatic WAN connection.

L2TP

The connection type requires entering the following data: username, password and server address. The user will find all information in the service agreement. If necessary, you can contact support and clarify the parameters.

Then check the box for automatic connection. Save your changes. For static IPs, check the appropriate box and enter the server, address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS.

PPTP

When answering the question of how to configure the TP-Link TL-WR841N router with the selected connection type, it is worth considering that you won’t have to make many changes. The only thing that requires configuration is in this case: username and password, as well as the server name or its IP.

All the necessary parameters are specified in the service agreement with the provider. If the data is not found or you doubt its correctness, you can call the support service and clarify the information.

If you are using a static IP, then check the appropriate box and enter the required address, subnet mask, gateway, server and DNS. We also take this data from the supplier. Save the changes.

WiFi network

Setting up a WiFi connection is set in the “Wireless Mode” section. There are not many configurations, but changes are made in different menu tabs.

After changing the password, the network on the PC must be excluded from the list of saved ones and the connection must be made from scratch.

Port forwarding

Port forwarding configurations in the router are performed in the corresponding “Forwarding” or Forwarding tab. Open the section “ Virtual servers" and add a new rule.

Fill in all fields of the form. In the IP field we indicate the internal local address of the desired PC. The protocol depends on the requirements of the application that will use the ports. Save changes

Registering the MAC address

You can change or clone the MAC address in the “Network” - “MAC Address Clone” tab. There shouldn’t be any difficulties, just click “Clone” and save the changes.

Changing the password for logging into the web interface

To secure your own access point, you should change the password for logging into the web interface with debugging parameters.

To do this, go to the “System Tools” or System Tools menu. Select the password section and make changes. First you will have to specify the old code, and then specify and duplicate the new character set. Save your changes. If you suddenly forget your new password, you can restore access to the service by resetting the settings to factory settings.

Security Settings

For the TP-Link TL-WR841N router, network security settings are specified in the protection section wireless mode. Protection can be disabled or the desired type can be specified. We select the recommended one, in the drop-down menu we set the WPA-PSK version, AES encryption algorithm. Then create a password for the access point and specify the update period. The last parameter should be left zero and the password should be changed as needed.
