How to find the IP address of a TP-Link router
Before setting up a TP-Link router for Rostelecom, you need to find the IP address of the router. There are several ways to do this.

How to choose the type of Internet connection
When choosing the type of Internet connection, there are several factors to consider. First of all, it is the speed and stability of the connection. If you need high-speed Internet, then connecting via fiber optic cable is the best choice. However, not all providers provide such a service.
If fiber optic cable is not available, you can choose to connect via a DSL modem. This connection is based on the use of an existing telephone line and allows you to get high Internet speeds. However, it is necessary to take into account that the further you are from the central station, the slower your connection speed will be.
Another option is to connect via cable TV. This connection also allows you to get high Internet speed, however, the stability of the connection may be disrupted during TV installation.
Finally, you can choose to connect via a wireless network. This connection is based on the use of Wi-Fi technology and allows you to connect to the Internet through special access points. However, Internet speed may be slower than using other connection types.
Thus, when choosing the type of Internet connection, you need to consider the speed and stability of the connection, as well as the availability of available technologies in your area.
How to set up PPPoE on a TP-Link router for Rostelecom

How to set up Wi-Fi security on a TP-Link router
When you set up a TP-Link router for use with Rostelecom, one of the most important aspects is setting up Wi-Fi security. This will keep your home network secure and prevent unauthorized access to your Internet connection.

The first step is to change the Wi-Fi network name and password. Select the "Wireless Settings" option and enter the new network name and password in the appropriate fields. Use a complex password that consists of letters, numbers, and symbols to prevent unauthorized access.
Next, select the “Wireless Security” option to configure the type of security for your wireless network. We recommend using WPA2-PSK, which provides the highest level of security. Enter a password to protect your network and save the settings.
If you want to prevent certain devices from accessing your Wi-Fi network, you can use the MAC Filter feature. Select the Wireless MAC Filtering option and enter the MAC addresses of the devices you want to allow or block from connecting to your network.
Finally, you can enable the Guest Network feature, which creates a separate network for guests to connect to your router. Select the "Guest Network" option and configure the settings, including the network name and password.
