    Setup and Configuration of TP-Link N300 Router for a Wireless Subnet on Existing Network

    Plug in and power on the router.

    Connect the TP-Link via the WAN port to an available LAN port on your ISP’s router.  Then use the setup wizard to configure your TP-Link as a ‘Wireless Router’.

    Connect your computer to the router (wired or wireless)

    Wired

    Turn off the WIFI on your computer and connect it to the router via an Ethernet cable.

    Wireless

    Find the product label at the bottom of the router.  Use the default network name (SSID) and password to join the network.

    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.

    Click Next to start the Quick Setup.  Select Wireless Router and follow the step-by-step instructions to set up the internet connection.

    The following screenshots will show which screens you’ll need to customize.  Be sure to save your changes on each page you edit.

    Use the network name and password of your choice and write them down.

    Once you rename the network, you’ll have to log in to that network using the credentials you just assigned to it on your computer to continue the configuration.

    OPERATION MODE

    NETWORK – WAN

    WIRELESS – BASIC SETTINGS

    Here you can name the network whatever you like, I’ve used ‘Remo_IoT’.

    WIRELESS – WIRELESS SECURITY

    Here you can use whatever password you like.

    DHCP – DHCP SETTINGS

    Here you only need to ‘Enable’ DHCP Server.  You need not change any of these IP addresses, what you have may or may not be the same as what’s shown here.
