How To Configure D-link Router From Mobile
Paul
I have already taken the permission of Server room Incharge as well the Chairman of the institute but server room incharge is clueless about how it can be done. So only posting this question to get some help from here.
Yeah, I have few IPs of the range. There is only one router in the entire LAN, and then we have a local proxy server and switches. So there would be only two router if I add mine as well. One is the current router and other would be my TP Link TD-W8968.
Local proxy server means I have to put an IP of our local proxy server and port number to connect to the internet. We have to open internet options from Control Panel>connection>LAN setting and have to put 172.16.1.7 in address of proxy server and 3128 in the port column then only we can use internet. And that is what restricting me to use internet wirelessly. And then have to change the IP of office computer to the IP which is assigned by the server room incharge which is something like 172.16.3.56. So i believe 172.16.1.7 is our local proxy server through which server room incharge can control speed of a specific computer and restrict content the computer is allowed to access.
The network administrator is the one to provide these settings to use and determine if the router should be configured as a router or access point. The proxy should be the same as without the router. The gateway for the router should be the same as a computer connected to the network and may be blank due to using the proxy.
I just want to know, what IP should I assign to the router, from the IP range which are allowed to access internet or can leave default only, which is 192.168.1.1, our work place is using 172.16 series for devices and gateway.
What should be the IP of the router?
does not matter - this will only be used to manage it itself. You could set it up first then connect it to the network and never use the IP again - otherwise give it an IP from the local area network that is not in use and not in DHCP range.
On the TP-link create a wireless network. connect only the LAN port fo the device to the work network. connect to tp-link wifi network - the device will be connected to the wired LAN just like a cabled device.
Now do whatever you would on wired device e.g. set manual proxy.
You did say earlier you was doing this so you can use Wi-Fi in the cabin - does your business not have Wi-Fi already, can the existing infrastructure not support adding another company owned AP to your room?
Go back to the main page of the iPhone settings app and select Personal Hotspot. Change your password to the password of your home network 2.4GHz network. Toggle on Maximize Compatibility, and then toggle on Allow Others to Join at the top. Your hotspot should now be running and configured with the identical network name and password of your home router.
Wait and wait some more. I found that when I did this my doorbell and cameras connected within a couple of minutes to about 20, however, I could not see any video nor did many features work. After about 15 minutes for the doorbell I could use it as normal. After about 90 minutes the floodlight cam worked as it should. After about 3 hours both stick up cams joined the party.
My 2 new Ring cameras refused to finish the setup step the conventional way. I even upgraded my router from TP Link to Ubiquiti to try to resolve the issue. I followed your suggestion: the cameras worked perfectly on the hotspot. Then, I turned off the hotspot, started broadcasting the same SSID on my router, the cameras connected to the Wifi just fine, and the Ring app shows that they are checking in and updating their Device Health stats. However, neither liveview nor motion capture are working. Note that my 6 other Ring cameras work just fine.
I bought a UniFi router to get more control over network settings since TP Link waters down the GUI from a consumer perspective. I have troubleshooted this for many hours over the last few weeks. The last thing I have not yet tried is to run a tcpdump on the router.
If Ring reviews these forums, it would be helpful if future models allowed us to connect to the camera via IP address and view diagnostics from the cameras perspective to get a better understanding of the issues it experiences. If a simple webpage is not an option, perhaps default to downloading a log file of the last 30 minutes or something. Or, allow the Ring app to connect to the camera directly on the same network and use it as a terminal for diagnostic output.
An update to this. After I went to bed, I checked the app the next morning, and what do you know, they finally connected. I checked the timestamp and they both started checking in with snapshots after 3 hours. What happened after 3 hours to make them start working?
Hi @tobiewolfen. That is odd behavior for your Cameras to do. If the basic troubleshooting steps do not help, the next best course of action is to reach out to our support team for further assistance. They will be able to take a look into this in more depth than we can here in the Community. Give our support team a call at one of the numbers available here.
I had this issue trying to use a GL.iNet GL-SFT1200 (Opal) Secure Travel WiFi Router. I just wanted to report back and say that this fix totally worked for me - and I did all of it from my phone (no second device/ipad needed). THANK YOU!
We've been having problems with our internet and one of the tests was to try a different router. I have a tp-link router here but i'm having a lot of struggles with setting it up, as i have a mac air with no ethernet port so have to configure it wirelessly, and then it comes up with a load of settings i need to put in to link it with plusnet but i have no idea what settings to put in as it just says from your ISP. Help please?
1.By using Ethernet cable Connect your modem to your computer.
2.Open your browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari) and
type in the address bar 192.168.1.1.
3.A window will prompt asking for a Username and Password. The default username and
password for this modem is admin.
If you have a 4G LTE Network Extender:
Please refer to this guide if after more than an hour after installation, the LED light on your Network Extender is blinking blue and the device's display has not progressed further than step 8 of the startup process. Additional router configuration may be needed due to firewall settings or other custom settings. These specific ports and IP Addresses must be unblocked on your router's firewall or settings for the Network Extender to work properly.
If you have a 3G Network Extender:
This guide may help if the System LED on your Network Extender continuously alternates from solid red to quickly flashing red. Additional router configuration may be necessary due to restrictive firewall settings or other custom settings. These specific ports and IP Addresses must be unblocked on your router's firewall or settings for the Network Extender to work properly.

Here's how to configure your router:
We recommend that you have the latest router firmware or software before starting the configuration process. Visit D-Link's Tech Support page for more information.
Older model routers might require port forwarding. Visit D-Link's Tech Support page to learn how to create a port forward rule.
Note: You may need to know the IP Address assigned to Network Extender by your router in order to forward ports. This can be found by going into your router's DHCP settings and finding the IP Address that is assigned to the Network Extender's MAC ID# / Address. The Network Extender's MAC ID is found on a sticker under the unit. For a 4G Network Extender, the IP Address can also be found by pressing the display button until it is displayed on the screen.
Please refer to your router's User Guide, or contact your router manufacturer to assist with configuring the above settings. Additionally, you may be able to find information by searching D-Link's Tech Support page for instructions on topics such as port forwarding or setting up QoS.
