STEP 1: Log in to the wireless router management page In the browser address bar, enter: itoolink.net. Press the Enter key, and if there is a login password, enter the router management interface login password and click "Login".
STEP 2: 1. Find advanced settings 2. Click on the service 3. Click on Remote Management and Apply STEP 3: 1. We check the IPV4 address obtained from the WAN port through advanced system status settings 2.You can access the mobile network through your phone, as shown in the figure below, with WAN IP +port number 3. The WAN port IP may change over time. If you want to access remotely through a domain name, you can set up DDNS. For details, please refer to: How to Set DDNS Function on TOTOLINK Router Note: The default web management port of the router is 8081, and remote access must use the "IP address: port" method (such as http;//wan port IP: 8080) to log in to the router and perform web interface management. This feature requires restarting the router to take effect. If the router sets up a virtual server to occupy port 8080, it is necessary to modify the management port to a port other than 8080. It is recommended that the port number be greater than 1024, such as 80008090. |

3 | How to Set DDNS Function on TOTOLINK Router | 2023-08-25 | ||||||||||||
The purpose of setting up DDNS is: under broadband dial-up internet access, the WAN port IP usually changes after 24 hours. When the IP changes, it cannot be accessed through the previous IP address. Therefore, setting up DDNS involves binding the WAN port IP through a domain name. When the IP changes, it can be accessed directly through the domain name.
STEP 1: Follow the steps below to connect your router. STEP 2 : Connect the computer to the router WiFi and enter "192.168.0.1" in the PC browser to log in to the web management interface. The default login password is: admin STEP 3 : Set the network connection type to PPPoE, this step is to enable the router to obtain a public IP address STEP 4 : Select Advanced Settings ->Network ->DDNS, enable the ddns function, then select your ddns service provider (support: DynDNS, No IP, WWW.3322. org), and enter the corresponding service provider's username and password. After saving, the domain name will automatically bind to your public IP address. STEP 5: After everything is set up, you can open the remote management function for testing. By using a dynamic domain name and port, you can access the router management page even if it is not within the same local area network. If the access is successful, it indicates that your DDNS settings are successful. You can also ping the domain name through the CMD of the PC, and if the returned IP is a WAN port IP address, it indicates successful binding. |

You can find the current IP address of the router's WAN port in the WAN port information.
Note: 1.After the configuration is completed, if internet users still cannot access the local area network FTP server, it may be due to the system firewall, antivirus software, and other issues on the DMZ host The security guard has blocked internet users from accessing. Please close these programs before attempting again. 2.Before configuration, please ensure that the router WAN port obtains a public IP address. If it is a private IP address or an internal IP address assigned by the network operator (in the order of 100 At the beginning, it will result in the inability to implement the function. The commonly used address categories for IPv4 include Class A, Class B, and Class C. The private network address for Class A address is 10.0.0.0~10.25.255.255; The private network addresses for Class B addresses are 172.16.0.0~172.31.255.255; The private network address for Class C addresses is 192.168.0.0~192.168.255.255. |

23 | The differences between 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wireless | 2019-02-15 | ||||||||||||
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. |
