TL-WPS510U Quick Installation Guide
1. Preparatory work before installation.
(1) Please download the latest compatibility list from our website:
http://www.tp-link.com/products/product_des.asp?id=170
Please check whether your printer is in the list. If you can not find your printer
there, it may be incompatible with our print server (Of course, maybe we just
don’t test the printer model).
(2) Please directly connect your printer to your computer and make sure you
can print without problem.
(3) You’d better manually reset the print server to factory default settings first.

(similar as the router to reset)
2. Install the print server to your network.
TL-WPS510U supports two working modes: Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure.
Ad-Hoc Mode
Infrastructure Mode

2
The default working mode is Ad-Hoc, but if so, you can not get on Internet by
wireless while you want to use your printer. When this print server works in
Infrastructure mode, you could both share the printer and Internet by wireless
or wired connection to your wireless router.
To configure the print server to work in Infrastructure mode, you have to
configure Ad-Hoc mode first to make your computer connected with print server
and then change its working mode.
Now, we begin to configure the print server to work in Infrastructure
mode.
Step 1 Connect the print server to your printer with the supplied printer
cable, and turn on the print server’s power.
Step 2 Connect your computer to TL-WPS510U (Ad-Hoc Mode).
For Windows XP:
(1) On the Windows taskbar, click the Start->Control Panel,then select and
double-click Networking Connections.
(2) Right Click Wireless Connection,select and click Properties.
(3) Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then double click it or click
Properties.

3
(4) Select “Use the following IP address” and input the static IP address,
e.g.192.168.0.101, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0;
(5) Find the SSID WLAN-PS of wireless print server by Windows Zero
Configuration or vendor utility of wireless adapter. Then click Connect.
For Windows Vista:
(1) On the Windows taskbar, click the Start,then select Control Panel;

4
(2) Select Classic View on the left side then double-click Networking and
Sharing center;
(3) Click Manage network connections on the left side;
(4) Right click on Wireless Network Connection and select Properties;

5
(5) Highlight the Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) and select
Properties;
(6) Select “Use the following IP address” and input the static IP address,
e.g.192.168.0.101
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, then click OK.

(7) Go back to Network and Sharing Center,then click Manage network
connections.
(8) Right click on Wireless Network Connection and select
Connect/Disconnect;

7
(9) Click Refresh button to view the wireless network. Select the
WLAN-PS,then double click it or click Connect.
Step 3 Configure the wireless print server to connect to your existing
wireless network (Infrastructure Mode).
1Open web browser and type the IP address of the print server (default is
192.168.0.10) to the address bar and press Enter.
2Type the username and password in the login page. The default username
is admin,and the password is 0000 (the number zero).
3Click Setup -> TCP/IP at the setup page of the print server, and then
configure the TCP/IP settings. (We recommend a static IP)

8
Note: If the IP of your existing local network is 192.168.1.x, then the IP of the
print server also should be 192.168.1.y y is different from x .Type your router’s
IP (LAN IP of your router) into the Default Router.
4After you Safe & Restart the settings, you should change the static IP of
your wireless network connection from 192.168.0.a to 192.168.1.b, then
search and connect the TL-WPS510U again. Please just refer to the Step 2.
5Then you could log into the setup page again by the IP 192.168.1.y (for
example here is 192.168.1.10). And now we configure the wireless settings.
Click Setup -> Wireless,in the Site Survey,please choose the right wireless
network that the print server would be connected to. Then you will find the
network type is automatically changed to Infrastructure,and other basic
settings are also changed for your wireless network. If your wireless router/AP
has been set wireless security, then you should make the same settings in the
Security Type (you know, in infrastructure mode the print server is just like
wireless adapter).

9
6Click Save & Restart to save the settings, then the print server will
connect to your wireless network and any computer wired or wireless connected
to the network could access to the print server.

3Add Standard TCP/IP print port
We recommend run the utility PSWizard to add it automatically.
1Insert the setup CD into your CD-drive. The auto-run program will be
started.
2Choose TL-WPS510U to begin the setup.
(3) Choose Setup Wizard to install the print server and configure the
connected printer.
(4) Click Next,the wizard will automatically discover the print server.

11
(5) On the “Select A Print Server” screen, select the print server that you want
to configure and click Next.
(6) On the Change Settings screen, just click Next and then to select your
printer connected to print server.

12
If your printer is not here, please check whether you have turned on the printer
and make sure you have installed the printer driver on the computer.
(7) Click Next and finish the whole wizard, then the software will add Standard
TCP/IP print port automatically and you could share the printer by print server.
If your operating system is XP, please go to Start-> Printers and Faxes and if
you can find a copied printer icon (the printer driver), please right click it and set
it as default printer.
Note:
1. If you fail to find the print server in the PSWizard,please try to disable the
Local Area Connection (the wired connection) and do it again.
2. If some settings changing (such as wireless security) in the wireless router
results in the print server (printer) fail to work, I think you’d better reset the
print server to factory defaults manually and redo all the settings above.
3. You also could add Standard TCP/IP print port manually. Please refer to here:
