Tplink C5 AC1200 Dual Band Router Users Block Details

Blocking users on your C5 AC1200 Dual Band Router usually involves accessing the router's web-based interface. To block users please follow these simple steps:

Connect to your router: Make sure your computer or device is connected to the TP-Link router via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.

Access the router's web interface: Open a web browser and enter the router's IP address in the address bar.

The default IP address for TP-Link routers is often "192.168.0.1" or "192.168.1.1."  If these don't work, you can check your router's documentation or TP-Link's website for the correct IP address.

To log in: You will be asked to enter a username and password  If you haven't changed them, the default credentials are usually "admin" for both username and password  Be sure to change these login credentials for security.

Navigate to the Access Control section: The location of the "Access Control" or "Parental Control" settings may vary depending on the router's firmware version.  Find a menu related to Device Management or Access Control.

Add or block devices:

In the Access Control section, you can usually find the option to add or block devices by MAC address. You can specify which devices you want to block by entering their MAC addresses

The MAC addresses of devices connected to your network can often be found in the router's device list.

Save your changes: After adding the MAC addresses of the devices you want to block, save the changes. The router will then block those devices from accessing the internet.

and guest networks: If you want to give guests Internet access but want to limit their access, consider setting up a separate guest network.

You can usually apply access control rules specifically to the guest network while keeping your primary network secure.Review and Update Regularly It is a good practice to periodically review your access control settings. Remove devices you no longer want to block or add new ones as needed.

Security: Keep your router's firmware up to date so it has the latest security patches. This helps protect your network from potential vulnerabilities.

Protect your password: Make sure your router's admin password is strong and unique to prevent unauthorized access to the router's settings.

Record MAC Addresses: Keep a record of the MAC addresses of the devices you want to block or allow This can be useful if you need to manage devices frequently.

Remember that while blocking users can be a useful tool for managing your network, it should be used responsibly and according to your family or organization's policies. Block devices on your network.
