How to configure IP Address Filtering on TP-Link 11G wireless Router

If you would like to limit the Internet access on some specified computers through the router, you can set IP Address Filtering to achieve it.

Step 1

You should set a static IP Address on your computer, otherwise IP Address Filtering won’t be efficient as it may obtain different IP Address every time on your computer.

If you don’t know how to configure TCP/IP properties on your computer, please refer to How to configure TCP/IP Properties of my computer to connect to TP-Link router?

Step 2

Open the web browser and type the IP address of the router (default is 192.168.1.1) into the address bar and then Press Enter.

Step 3

Type the username and password in the login page, the default username and password both are admin.

Step 4

Click the Security->Firewall on the left of the page.

Step 5

Select Enable Firewall(the feneral firewall switch),and select Enable IP Address Filtering.

If you just would like to allow some computers to access the Internet, please select Deny the packets not specified by any filtering rules to pass through the router.Then those computers whose IP Address are set in the rules will have the right to access the Internet. Otherwise please select Deny these PCs with enabled rules to access the Internet.

Step 6

Click Save to save the settings.

Step 7

Click Security->IP Address Filtering on the left of the page.

Step 8

Click Add New to edit the rule.

Step 9
