This tutorial guide provides a step-by-step instruction on setting up TP-Link Archer C7 VPN client using L2TP protocol. To get more information about the L2TP protocol, check out our detailed article What is L2TP protocol.

The following router model was used: TP-Link AC1750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Model No. Archer C7, Firmware Version: 3.15.3 Build 180305 Rel.51282n.

NOTE: Depending on the type of WAN connection provided by your ISP, VPN setup on TP-Link Archer router may not be supported. Besides, some TP-Link routers only allow IP addresses instead of VPN Unlimited server domain names. That’s why we recommend installing DD-WRT firmware. After that, you can use the relevant VPN configuration guide for DD-WRT-flashed routers.

To be able to set up VPN on TP-Link router using this manual, you should originally have either Dynamic IP or Static IP WAN connection type. 

1. Get VPN Unlimited manual VPN configurations

2. Configure TP-Link Archer C7 VPN client

3. Disconnect from a VPN server on TP-Link Archer router

 

1. Get VPN Unlimited manual VPN configurations

 

Before starting the VPN on TP-Link router setup, you need to generate manual configuration settings in your KeepSolid User Office. There you will get a VPN server domain name, as well as login and password for the L2TP connection. 

Follow a few simple steps outlined in the tutorial How to manually create VPN configurations and you’ll easily find all the required information.

2. Configure TP-Link Archer C7 VPN client

 

Once you’ve generated the necessary L2TP settings, follow the steps below to configure VPN on TP-Link Archer router. 

NOTE:  In case of Static IP connection type, we recommend you to write down your default internet settings (TP-Link IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS). You will need them during the VPN setup, as well as to easily revert to these default settings when VPN is not required.  

  1. Log in to your TP-Link router control panel. If you don’t know how to access your router control panel, check out our instruction on how to find your router IP. 
  2. On the sidebar of your TP-Link router menu, go to Network > WAN.
