This document will show how to set up website blocking on our wireless routers. We will use a TL-WR841N V13 as an example.

Step 1: Log in to your router's web management page.

Open the web browser and type the IP address of the router (default is 192.168.0.1) or http://tplinkwifi.net into the address bar and then Press Enter. When you are prompted, enter your login credentials. The default username and password is ’admin’.

Step 2:

Go to Access Control > Host, then click Add New

Select ‘IP Address’, then enter a short description for the host rule you want to define in the ‘Host Description’ box. Enter the IP address range on your network that you want to block access to.

In this example, the router TL-WR841N’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, IP Range is 192.168.0.100~192.168.0.199.We are going to set up rules to allow all the devices in the network to access www.tp-link.com only, and restrict access to all other websites.
