Configuration

The router supports two configuration options:

• Standalone Mode: Configure and manage the router singly.
• Controller Mode: Configure and manage the network devices centrally. This mode is recommended for large-scale networks comprising multiple devices such as access points, switches, and gateways.

Note: When the router is managed by a controller, its configurations will be overridden by the controller.

Option 1: Standalone Mode

In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the router.

1. Connect a computer to a LAN port of the router using an RJ45 cable. If your computer is configured with a fixed IP, change it to obtain an IP address automatically.
2. Open a web browser and type the default management address 192.168.0.1 in the address field, then press Enter.
3. Create a username and a password for subsequent logins and security.
4. Use the created username and password to log in to the webpage.
5. After a successful login, you can configure functions by clicking the setup menu on the left side of the screen.

For detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide of the router. The guide can be found on the download center of the official website: https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/.

Option 2: Controller Mode

Choose from the following two types of Omada Controller:

Type 1: Via Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300)

The Omada Hardware Controller (OC200/OC300) is a good alternative if you do not have a spare PC to keep the Omada Software Controller running. It needs to be purchased additionally. For more details, refer to the Installation Guide of OC200/OC300.

1. As the Omada Hardware Controller gets its IP address from the router's DHCP server, its IP address is not explicitly known. Find it on the router's DHCP client list.
   1. Find the router's IP address: Open the command line on your PC and enter ipconfig. In the result list, find the Default Gateway, which is the router's IP address.
   2. Launch a web browser and enter the router's IP address. Create a username and password, and log into the router's web page. Navigate to Network > LAN > DHCP Client List to find the controller's IP address using its MAC address.
   3. Enter the controller's IP address in the browser's address bar to open its web page.
2. On the Omada Controller's web page, follow the wizard to complete the quick setup.
3. After the quick setup, the login page appears. Enter the username and password you created and click Log in. You can then further configure the controller.
4. (For Remote Management) You can remotely access and manage your controller via Omada Cloud Service.
   1. Ensure Cloud Access is enabled on your controller. By default, Cloud Access is enabled. Verify that the Cloud LED is flashing slowly.
   2. Launch a web browser and enter https://omada.tplinkcloud.com in the address bar. Enter your TP-Link ID and password to log in. Click + Add Controller and choose Hardware Controller to add your controller. You can then further configure the controller.

With the Omada App, you can also manage your controller at a local site or a remote site via your mobile device.

Download on the App Store or Get it on Google Play. Scan for Omada App.

Type 2: Via Omada Software Controller

The Omada Software Controller is free software for centralized management. To centrally manage your devices, the Omada Software Controller needs to run on your computer.

1. On a PC with Windows OS or Linux OS, download the Omada Software Controller installation file from https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/omada-software-controller/.

   Note: To download Omada Software Controller successfully, it is recommended to configure the router's network to access the internet. Refer to Standalone Mode to launch the management page and go to Network > WAN to complete the configuration.

2. Run the file and follow the wizard to install the Omada Software Controller.
3. Launch the Omada Software Controller and follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the Quick Setup. After the wizard finishes, a login screen will appear.
4. Enter the username and password you created and click Log in. You can then further configure the network.

Omada Cloud Portal

After installing Omada Software Controller, you can remotely access the controller through Omada Cloud Portal. Follow the steps below.

1. Enable Cloud Access on the controller's setting page and bind a TP-Link ID to your controller. If you configured this in the setup wizard, skip this step.
2. Launch a web browser and enter https://omada.tplinkcloud.com in the address bar.
3. Enter your TP-Link ID and password to log in. A list of controllers bound with your TP-Link ID will appear. Click Launch to further configure the controller.
