Complete set and connection of the TP LINK router

If you buy a router with hands, check the completeness of the configuration, as well as the performance of all parts, just asking the owner to demonstrate it. The standard set includes a router itself, a power supply, a power cable, an instruction book, which will significantly simplify the device and disk with auxiliary files. We connect the "Box" with the TP-LINK marking as follows: connect the power supply with the appropriate connector on the router and the 220 V network, if necessary, using an adapter. WAN wire, which is included, insert into a labeled blue socket, up to a light click. TP-LINK TL-WR841N, used by us, has 4 LAN ports marked with yellow. This means that another 4 computers can be connected to it using the wire (and any number by means of a wireless communication if your model supports such). Our router also has the following indicators and buttons on the housing:

  • button to turn on and off the device;
  • button that produces a reboot and return to factory settings;
  • button for switching on QSS;
  • local network communication indicators, Internet, ADSL and others.
