Administrate Your Network

6. Click Save.

Now, you can manage the modem router over both HTTP (http://tplinkmodem.net)

and HTTPS (https://tplinkmodem.net).

13. 6. Remote Management

By default, remote devices are not allowed to manage the modem router from the

Internet. You can enable remote management over HTTP and/or HTTPS if needed.

HTTPS is a more secure way to access the router.

Note:

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), you cannot use the remote management

feature because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the modem

router.

2. Go to Advanced > System Tools> Administration page. Locate the Remote

Management section.

To enable remote management over HTTP:

1. Enable Remote Management, and keep the Port as the default setting.

2. Leave the IP/MAC Address field blank. If you just want to allow a specific device to

manage the modem router, you can enter the IP address or MAC address of the

device in this field.

3. Click Save.

Now, you can manage the modem router over the Internet via the website address

http://modem router’s WAN IP (such as http://59.40.2.243).

Note:

1. You can find the WAN IP address of the modem router on Basic > Network Map > Internet.

2. The modem router’s WAN IP is usually a dynamic IP. Please refer to Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account if you

want to log in to the modem router through a domain name.
