Chapter 4 Configure the Router in Wireless Router Mode 4. 8. 3. Address Reservation You can reserve an IP address for a specific client. When you specify a reserved IP address for a PC on the LAN, this PC will always receive the same IP address each time when it accesses the DHCP server. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the password you set for the router. 2. Go to DHCP > Address Reservation. 3. Click Add New and fill in the blank. 1 ) Enter the MAC address (in XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX format.) of the client for which you want to reserve an IP address. 2 ) Enter the IP address (in dotted-decimal notation) which you want to reserve for the client. 3 ) Leave the Status as Enabled. 4 ) Click Save. 4. 9. Forwarding The router's NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices on the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external hosts cannot initiatively communicate with the specified devices in the local network. With the forwarding feature, the router can traverse the isolation of NAT so that clients on the internet can reach devices on the LAN and realize some specific functions. The TP-Link router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ. 4. 9. 1.
