4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Connettività wireless

The TL-WDR3600 supports dual-band Wi-Fi, allowing you to connect devices to either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz network.

• Banda da 2.4 GHz: Offers wider coverage and better penetration through walls, suitable for general internet use and older devices.
• Banda da 5 GHz: Provides faster speeds and less interference, ideal for bandwidth-intensive activities like online gaming and HD video streaming, especially for newer devices.

To connect a device, select the appropriate Wi-Fi network (SSID) from your device's Wi-Fi settings and enter the password.

4.2 Funzionalità della porta USB

The router features two USB 2.0 ports for versatile functionality:

• Condivisione dell'archiviazione: Collegare un dispositivo di archiviazione USB (ad esempio, un'unità flash, un disco rigido esterno) per condividere files across your network or remotely via FTP. Configure this feature in the router's web interface under "USB Settings" or "Storage Sharing."
• Condivisione stampante: Connect a USB printer to the router to enable wireless printing from any computer on your network. You will need to install the TP-Link USB Printer Controller Utility on each computer that will use the shared printer.
• Server multimediale: Utilize the built-in media server to stream media files (music, videos, photos) from a connected USB storage device to DLNA-compatible devices such as smart TVs, game consoles (PS3, Xbox 360), or media players.

4.3 Rete ospite

The Guest Network feature allows you to provide internet access to guests without giving them access to your main network resources. This enhances security. You can enable and configure separate SSIDs and passwords for guest networks via the router's web interfaccia.

• If your ISP requires MAC Address Cloning, configure this in the router's WAN settings.

6.2 Velocità wireless lenta

• Ensure your devices are connected to the appropriate band (5GHz for faster speeds, if supported).
• Reduce interference by placing the router away from other electronic devices.
• Change the wireless channel in the router's settings to avoid congestion with neighboring networks. Use a Wi-Fi analyzer tool to find less crowded channels.

• Svuota la cache e i cookie del browser oppure prova un browser diverso.
• Disattiva temporaneamente qualsiasi firewall o software antivirus sul tuo computer.
• If you forgot the login password, you may need to perform a factory reset on the router. Locate the reset button (usually a small pinhole) on the router, press and hold it for about 10 seconds while the router is powered on, then release. This will restore the router to its default settings.
