Line stat info is limited, although it does output slightly more than the TD-W9980, in that it shows a breakdown of some of the medley bands for attenuation, power and SNRm. Despite the above, I somehow connected it all up and am actually typing this over internet provided through the Archer C7 router. On the TD-W9970, the DSL lightis on and the internet light is off - implying that I have somehow managed to get it running in bridge mode. But here's the odd thing - despite me using the live connection made through the Archer C7 router to write this, the internet light on the Archer C7 is red which indicates no internet. So, I'm not fully convinced that the problem is so am still posting this asking for help.

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. 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). 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.
