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. However, it does work with ejs StatPOSTer to get some additional line stats such as CRC/FEC/ErrSecs.

It was a pleasant surprise to find this modem performed slightly better on the downstream compared to the HG612 and managed to eke out another 1. Do not mix up the username and password with your DSL account username and password which are needed for PPP connections. The latest VDSL2 technology allows the TD-W9970 to deliver impressive VDSL broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps, which is almost 4 times faster than ADSL2+. 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).

Not sure if the modem has decided I don't need anymore as I'm already syncing with the full 20Mbps so it doesn't matter. The latest VDSL2 technology allows the TD-W9970 to deliver impressive VDSL broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps, which is almost five times faster than ADSL2+. Enter the Remote IPSec Gateway Address (URL) in the box which is the public WAN IP or domain name of the remote VPN server endpoint. 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).

If the internet LED on the Archer C7 is off, which means it cannot connect to your PPPOE server through the bridge TD-W9970. If you want to share the whole volume to the local network, check the option Anonymous access to all the volume s. This particular line is very stable, and never normally shows much variance aside from if a cross talker reboots their modem.

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. It is designed to support the wide deployment of triple play services such as voice, video, data, high-definition television (HDTV) and interactive gaming. Range, coverage, and the maximum number of connected devices are based on test results under normal usage conditions. To access the web management page, open a web browser and enter the default address http://tplinkmodem. 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.You may have a simple test again by switching the TD-W9970 into modem router mode and ensure you can connect to the Talktalk server.

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.
