Product Information

There are lots of setting preferences for firewall, security, parental controls and wi-fi (including wireless scheduling). This particular line is very stable, and never normally shows much variance aside from if a cross talker reboots their modem. Despite the above, I somehow connected it all up and am actually typing this over internet provided through the Archer C7 router. Go to USB Settings→ Storage Sharing, you can configure a USB disk drive attached to the modem router and view volume and share properties on this page as shown below. Note: The VPN Servers Endpoint from both ends must use the same pre-shared keys and Perfect Forward Secrecy settings.

Yes, you may go through the setup process on the TD-W9970 first to change it into the bridge mode and then go through the setup process on the Archer C7 to configure with PPPOE on its WAN. What should I do if I cannot access the internet with TP-Link DSL modem router even though the configuration is finished? To avoid wireless disconnect issue during firmware upgrade process, it's recommended to upload firmware with wired connection unless there is no LAN/Ethernet port on your TP-Link device.Connect to the router ideally using a cable, and run the setup wizard, honestly, that should work, and it'll only take a couple on minutes! Use the default SSID (Wireless Network Name) and Wireless Password printed on the included Wi-Fi Info Card or on the product label of the modem router to connect wirelessly. Or, would I run setup for the TD-W9970 in bridge mode from the very beginning (but how then does the modem 'talk' to the IPS - excuse the pun).

Range, coverage, and the maximum number of connected devices are based on test results under normal usage conditions. Lack of access to the Broadcom CLI means it wont work with DSLstats or MDWS for linestats monitoring and graphing. As theTD-W9970 is a router-modem, would Ineed to run the complete setup first by selecting the Talktalk option to enable the device to 'handshake' with the IPS; and then set try to set the device into bridge mode.With this in mind, I purchased an Archer C7 router with a view to using it with the Talktalk-suppliedmodem-router in bridge mode (so it would be modem only). In the end, I bought the inexpensiveTD-W9970 modem-router with the sole intent to use it in modem only mode and connect to the Archer C7.
