I just got the router. Tether app installed on my iPhone. Bluetooth on. Everything connected fine. Open tether app. It wants to log in as if you have a wan connection already. It does not mention anything about Bluetooth etc. not yet. There's no way to log in. I'm just connecting for the first time. How stupid is that? It should connect to router first to then set it up to get a wan connection .
2: Once set up how do I remote connect via the tether app from outside the network? I need to have a friend manage it for me and for me not have access to the router. How do I put someone else in control and me not have control?
3: How do I connect to router locally not using wan? It only offers tp link email log in as if you have a wan already. No admin like all other routers.
4: The web site says parental control/security monthly reports. There's no such thing in the tether app or web ui. How do you get it to email reports weekly and monthly?

Section 12.1 has nothing to do with my question. It shows it's about LAN settings. But I'll read related parts in the manual.

OK. Manual says launch tether app. It will show the router and the image shows local. This is bull. When opening tether for the first time it doesn't do that. It shows a log in to TP-Link as if you already have a connection and there's no way around that.

If you want to utilize the Tether app, you must log in with the TP-Link ID first. If you want to avoid needing to log in with the ID on your smartphone, use the web browser on your phone.
2. Here is how you manage it via Tether, by binding your ID to the router: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1366/
If you do not want to use Tether, enable the remote management and access it using your phone browser, or computer like traditional routers: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1553/
Once your router is bound to your TP-Link ID, you can also add other TP-Link IDs as managers to manage your router via Tether. (Tools > TP-Link ID)
3. You would not use Tether, either browser on your phone, computer, or tablet referencing what @ArcherC8 pointed out.
You can reference this FAQ too, for the URL you can also use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1524/
4. I'm looking into this, so far the router has the insights which shows websites that are visited, but I don't see a section for reports.
