Hello! Now we will connect and configure the Tp-link TL-WR841N Wi-Fi router. If you have a TL-WR841ND model, then these instructions will also suit you. Let's look at the entire process of connecting the router, setting up the Internet, Wi-Fi network and setting a password for the Wi-Fi network.

All this with photos, and detailed description. So you shouldn’t have any problems setting up the Tp-link TL-WR841N router. Just follow the instructions.

A few words about Tp-link TL-WR841N (TL-WR841ND). Very successful model Wi-Fi router, which is very popular. Indeed, a successful model, with an excellent price/quality ratio. It seems to me that for home use, an undemanding user cannot find a better router. I myself, in practice, tested the operation of the Tp-link TL-WR841N. It has been working perfectly for more than five years, distributing Wi-Fi to a large number of devices. It works very stably, I don’t even remember that the Internet was lost on it or something else. You can read more about Tp-link TL-WR841N at. There you will find short review, and my review.

If you have already purchased this router, then it’s time to move on to configuration. Let's do everything according to this scheme:

  • Connecting the Tp-link TL-WR841N router.
  • Setting up an Internet connection (WAN).
  • Setting up a Wi-Fi network on the TL-WR841N.
  • Setting a password for Wi-Fi protection networks.
  • Changing the admin password, which protects the router settings.

Connection Tp-link TL-WR841N

Connect the power adapter to the router and plug it into a power outlet. If the indicators on the router do not light up, then turn on the power using the button located on the rear panel.

If you configure the router via cable (which comes included), having connected it to a computer or laptop, then take a network cable and connect the computer to the router. On the router, connect the cable to the LAN connector (one of 4):

Second end network cable on the computer we connect it to the connector network card:

Connecting and setting up a Wi-Fi network

If you want to configure the router via Wi-Fi, and not by connecting via cable, then just connect to the Wi-Fi network, which will appear immediately after turning on the power on the Tp-link TL-WR841N router. The network will have a standard name (something like this: "TP-LINK_084313"), and will not be protected.

You can even connect to this network from a tablet or phone and set up a router without a computer.

You probably found a disk included with the TL-WR841N. There is a utility for configuring the router. So, we will configure without a disk, through the router’s web interface. We will not need the disk in this instruction. If you want to configure via the utility from the disk, you can do this according to the instructions.

The Internet must be connected to the router. And your computer, tablet, laptop, etc. must be connected to Tp-link via cable or Wi-Fi. The router's power must be turned on. If everything is ready, then you can proceed to configuration.

The router settings will open.

And if the router has already connected to the provider and is distributing the Internet, then you can continue setting up.

Setting up a Wi-Fi network and setting a password on the Tp-link TL-WR841N router

For Wi-Fi settings you need to open the tab on the settings page Wireless - Wireless Settings. On this page we need in the field Wireless Network Name come up with and write down a name for your Wi-Fi network, and in the drop-down menu Region select the country where you live. Leave the rest of the settings as they are in the screenshot below.

To protect our wireless network password, go to the tab Wireless - Wireless Security. There you need to select the security type WPA/WPA2 - Personal (Recommended).

In field PSK Password create and write down a password that will protect your Wi-Fi network. You can read more about setting a password on the TL-WR841N router in the article.

Save the settings by clicking the button Save.

Change admin password. Protecting your router settings

I already wrote in a separate article about how to do this in the router settings. Let's go while we're at it Tp-link settings TL-WR841N we will immediately change the password that is used to protect the settings page. So that everyone who connects to your network will not be able to go into the router settings and change them.

Open the tab System Tools - Password. Enter your old username and password first (default - admin). Then enter your new username below (you can leave admin) and a new password. I advise you to write down this password somewhere so you don’t forget. Save the settings with the button Save.

That's all, the configuration of the Tp-link TL-WR841N router is complete. All that remains is to reboot the router. This can be done by turning off/on the power, or from the settings. On the tab System Tools - Reboot, you need to click on the Reboot button.

After setup and reboot, a Wi-Fi network will appear with the name that we set during the setup process. And to connect to a wireless network, use the password that we also set when setting up the router.

You can already connect your devices to the router. If you set up via cable, but want to connect via Wi-Fi, then the laptop can be disconnected from the router and connect via a wireless network.

You can leave your feedback and questions in the comments!

Good afternoon, dear readers!
Today I will tell you how to set up TP-LINK router using the example of the TL-WR841N(d) model

My thoughts on this model:
I believe that this model TP-LINK turned out very well, as it is easy to set up and has a good price/quality ratio. It is perfect for the average home user who just needs Internet and Wi-Fi. I advise you to take this model if you are a simple user who doesn’t require anything more from a router. Many of my friends have had this model (on my recommendation) for more than 3 years. Works stably, performs its function on 5+ !

So, if you have already purchased this router, then let's configure it. Our procedure:

  • Setting up a Wi-Fi network on the TL-WR841N(d)

Connecting the TL-WR841N(d) router to a PC

To begin, connect the power supply to the router and plug it into an outlet. If the indicators on it (on the router) do not light up, then turn it on with the button on the back.

You probably noticed the disk that came with the router, so here we are going to configure without its use.

We insert the second end of the wire into the network card of the laptop/computer from which we will configure the router.

If you did everything correctly, then we can move on to the next point.

Setting up an Internet connection (setting up a WAN connection) on the TL-WR841N(d)

We need to go into the settings of the TL-WR841N(d) router. To do this, on the computer to which it is connected, open any browser and in the address bar go to 192.168.1.1 , or 192.168.0.1 . You should be prompted for your username and password. Specify admin And admin (standard password and username). By the way, how to enter the router settings, the standard IP and standard login/password are indicated on the bottom of the router on a sticker

So, we entered everything correctly, entered the username and password. The router settings page should open to us.

The most important thing is to configure the router to work with your Internet provider. If this is not done, or done incorrectly, the Internet through the router will not work. A Wi-Fi network will appear, but without Internet access.

In settings go to the tab Network - WAN. Us in the dropdown list WAN Connection Type you need to select the type of connection that your Internet provider uses. It could be: Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, L2TP, or PPTP. For example, for me personally PPPoE(the most common type of connection).

Setting up PPPoE, L2TP, and PPTP

If your provider uses one of the above connection methods, then select the one you need and set the necessary parameters that the provider should give you: username, password, IP address. This depends on the type of connection and provider you choose.

The main thing that needs to be achieved from the settings on this page is that the router connects to the Internet and starts distributing it. If the Internet works, then press the button Save, and we continue. If you can’t set it up, then call your Internet provider and ask them for all the information needed to set up the router.

If your computer has a high-speed Internet connection configured, then we no longer need it. There is no need to run it. Our router will now launch such a connection. You can remove it altogether.

It may also be that the provider binds by MAC address (you need to check with the provider), in which case you can clone the MAC in the router settings, on the tab Network - MAC Clone. Or, you can change there MAC address router. You can also call your provider and ask them to remove the old MAC from the binding and bind your new MAC address.

If the router has connected to the provider and is distributing the Internet, then you can continue setting up. To check whether the router distributes the Internet, just try to go to any website from the computer with which you are setting up the router (which is connected to the router port LAN)

Setting up a Wi-Fi network on the TL-WR841N(d) and setting a Wi-Fi password

To configure Wi-Fi, you need to open the tab on the settings page Wireless - Wireless Settings. On this page we need in the field Wireless Network Name come up with and write down a name for your WiFi network, and in the Region drop-down menu select the country where you live. Leave the rest of the settings as they are in the screenshot below.

To protect our wireless network with a password, go to the tab Wireless - Wireless Security. There you need to select the security type WPA/WPA2 - Personal(Recommended).

In field PSK Password create and write down a password that will protect your WiFi net.

Save the settings by clicking the button Save.

Changing the default admin user password

While we are in the settings Tp-link TL-WR841N, I advise you to immediately change the standard password that is set to protect your router settings. So that everyone who connects to your network will not be able to go into the router settings and change them (for example, we gave the Wi-Fi password to a neighbor/friend).

Open the tab System Tools - Password. Enter your old username and password first (default is admin). Then, below, enter a new username (you can leave admin) and a new password. I advise you to write down this password somewhere so you don’t forget. Save the settings with the button Save.

That's all, the configuration of the Tp-link TL-WR841N router is complete.

All that remains is to reboot the router. This can be done by turning off/on the power, or from the settings, on the tab System Tools - Reboot, you need to press the button Reboot.

After setup and reboot, a Wi-Fi network will appear with the name that we set during the setup process. And to connect to a wireless network, use the password that we also set when setting up the router.

I hope this article helped you! I did my best. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments to the post. If you have a suggestion, you can send it to the email address

In the next article I will tell you

Thank you for your attention! See you again!

Peer-to-peer network

Not all programs can work correctly through a router. For some programs (DC++, Radmin/RDP/HTTP/FTP servers) you need to configure port forwarding. Let's consider this procedure using the example of a P2P client.

In the P2P client for our network version 5, you need to go to File → Settings → Connection Settings. The TCP and UDP port numbers specified there will need to be specified in the router settings, as indicated below. If several computers are connected to the network, then the ports in P2P clients should be different; if necessary, the values ​​can be changed.

In other versions of P2P clients, you need to select the " Manual setting firewall":

Let's configure port forwarding on the router. Find the “Forwarding” item on the left and go to the “Virtual Servers” section. Click the "Add New" button to create a new rule:



  • Service Port - port for TCP connections specified in the P2P client
  • Protocol - TCP
  • Status - Enable


  • Service Port - port for UDP connections specified in the P2P client
  • Internal port - can be left empty
  • IP Address - IP address of your network card
  • Protocol - UDP
  • Status - Enable

To add, click the “Save” button.

The ports must be different, the IP address must be the same.
