TL-WDR4300 | 12.09-rc1 | Configuration & Design Guide

About this Guide

Purpose and Scope

This guide covers the recommended configuration, design and implementation of common features on the TL-WDR4300. The core assumption of this guide is that your TL-WDR4300 is both the core routing and security perimeter device in your network. As two common deployments for the TL-WDR4300 would be in a home network or at a branch office, the guide addresses these situations specifically.

Although this content does overlap with other portions of the wiki page, this guide aims to comprehensively state how to implement specific features and protocols on this particular OpenWrt version and hardware platform.

While there are numerous ways to achieve the same objective in OpenWrt, this guide adopts a specific view as to how to achieve that objective.

Currency and Structure

The guide is written specifically for 12.09-rc1, which is the latest stable build of OpenWrt. While there is no reason that much of the content could not apply to development snapshots, there is no guarantee that the content will be applicable.
