FAQ Common problem

Q1: After the bridge mode is set successfully, you will not be able to access the router. If you need to revisit, there are two ways!

1. Press the reset button/hole on the router to restore the router to factory settings;

2. Log in to the router management page by setting a fixed IP (refer to STEP-1).

It is suitable for:　 A3, A1004

Application introduction:

The system log of the router can be used to find out why the network connection fails.

Set up steps

STEP-1:

Open the browser, clear the address bar, enter 192.168.0.1, select Advance Setup.fill in the administrator account and password (default admin), click Login, as follows:

STEP-2:

Make sure your router is connected to the internet.

STEP-3:

In the left menu, click System -> System Log.

STEP-4:

Administrator email settings.

①Fill in the recipient email, for example: fae@zioncom.net

②Fill in the recipient server, for example: smtp.zioncom.net

③Fill in the sender's email.

④Fill in the sender's email and password.

⑤Click "Apply".

STEP-5:

Click Send E-mail lmmediately, click OK.

Note:

Before sending an email, you need to make sure the router is connected to the internet.

STEP-1: Difference of 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi

1-1.The primary difference between the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies is range as the 2.4GHz frequency is able to reach farther than the 5GHz frequency. This is a result of the basic characteristics that waves attenuate much faster at higher frequencies. So if you are more concerned with the coverage, you should select 2.4GHz rather than 5GHz.

1-2.The second difference is the number of devices on the frequencies. 2.4GHz suffers more interference than 5GHz.

1). The older 11g standard only uses the 2.4GHz frequency, majority of the world is on it. 2.4 GHz has fewer channel options with only three of them non-overlapping, while 5GHz has 23 non-overlapping channels.

2). A lot of other devices are also on the 2.4 GHz frequencies, the biggest offenders are microwaves and cordless phones. These devices add noise to the medium that can further decrease the speed of wireless networks.

In both aspects, choosing to deploy on the 5GHz frequency is the much better option as you have more channels to use to isolate yourself from other networks and there are far fewer interference sources.

But the radar and military frequency is also 5GHz, so 5GHz wireless may also have some interference, and many countries require that wireless devices working on 5GHz should support DFS(Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC(Transmitting Power Control).

STEP-2: Summary

3-1. All TOTOLINK dual band routers support 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously；

3-2. 5GHz has a shorter range than 2.4GHz;

3-2. 5GHz radio band that offers high-speed wireless connection that could with less interference in compare to 2.4G WiFi network.

1-3. When you don't need to set the IP address manually, Please turn off static IP.

Application introduction: To enter the router’s setting interface, you may enter the specified IP if you know setup your PC or set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically.

The steps for configuring TCP/IP properties (Here I take system W10 for example).

STEP-1: 

Click on   at the bottom right corner on the screen

STEP-2: 

Click on [Properties] button in the lower left corner

STEP-3:

Double click on “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)”

STEP-4: 

Now you have two ways to configure the TCP/IP protocol below:

4-1. Assigned by DHCP Sever

Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS Server address automatically, as shown in the figure below. These may be selected by default. Then click OK to save setting.

4-2. Assigned manually

Using the following IP Address, as shown in the following figure.

[1] If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, please type in IP address 192.168.1.x （“x” range from 2 to 254）, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway is 192.168.1.1.

[2] If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, please type in IP address 192.168.0.x （“x” range from 2 to 254）, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway is 192.168.0.1.

STEP-5:  

Check the IP address you get automatically in the former step

The IP address is 192.168.0.2, it means the network segment of your PC is 0, you should enter http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar of your browser.
