2.3 Installation Environment
The Product should not be located where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat.
Place the modem router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well
as to a power source.
Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not create a
tripping hazard.
The modem router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
Keep away from the strong electromagnetic radiation and the device of electromagnetic
sensitive.
Generally, TD-W8901N is placed on a horizontal surface. The device also can be mounted on the
wall as shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3 Wall-mount Install
Note:
The diameter of the screw, 3.5mm<D<8mm, and the distance of two screws is 118mm. The screw
that project from the wall need around 4mm based, and the length of the screw need to be at least
20mm to withstand the weight of the product.
2.4 Connecting the Modem Router
Before installing the device, please make sure your broadband service provided by your ISP is
available. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP. Before cable connection, cut off the
power supply and keep your hands dry. You can follow the steps below to install it.
Step 1: Connect the ADSL Line.
6
TD-W8901N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide
Method one: Plug one end of the
twisted-pair ADSL cable into the ADSL port on the rear
panel of TD-W8901N, and insert the other end into the wall socket.
Method two:You can use a separate splitter. External splitter can divide the data and
voice, and then you can access the Internet and make calls at the same time. The
external splitter has three ports:
• LINE: Connect to the wall jack
• PHONE: Connect to the phone sets
• MODEM: Connect to the ADSL port of TD-W8901N
Plug one end of the twisted-pair ADSL cable into the ADSL port on the rear panel of
TD-W8901N. Connect the other end to the MODEM port of the external splitter.
Step 2: Connect the Ethernet cable. Attach one end of a network cable to your computer’s
Ethernet port or a regular hub/switch port, and the other end to the LAN port on the
TD-W8901N.
Step 3: Power on the computers and LAN devices.
Step 4: Attach the power adapter. Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the rear
of the device and plug in the adapter to an electrical outlet or power extension. The
electrical outlet shall be installed near the device and shall be easily accessible.

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the TD-W8901N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router is
192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you
desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN port of the Modem Router. And then you can configure your PC
to an obtain IP address in the following way:
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.
If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to T3 in Appendix B:
Troubleshooting.
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection.
Please click the Start menu on your desktop, select run tab, type cmd or command in the field
and press Enter. Type ping 192.168.1.1 on the next screen, and then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to the screen below, the connection between your PC and the
modem router has been established.
Figure 3-1
If the result displayed is similar to the screen shown below, it means that your PC has not
connected to the modem router.

You can check it follow the steps below:
1) Is the connection between your PC and the modem router correct?
The LEDs of LAN port which you link to the device and the LEDs on your PC's adapter should
be lit.
2) Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
If the modem router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the
range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254.

Bridge Interface: Activate the option, the modem router can also work in Bridge mode.
Default Route: If enable this function, the current PVC will be considered as the default
gateway to Internet from this device.
TCP MTU Option: Enter the TCP MTU as your desire. The default value is 1500.
IPv4 Address: If you select IPv4 as IP version, you should configure the following.
NAT: Select this option to Enable/Disable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function for
this VC. The NAT function can be activated or deactivated per PVC basis.
Dynamic Route: Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol) version
for WAN interface, including RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are both sent in
RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B using Broadcast
format.
Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP
function. Both means the ADSL modem router will periodically send routing information and
accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table. IN only means the
ADSL modem router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the ADSL
modem router will only send but will not accept RIP packet.
Multicast: Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast
Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The
ADSL ATU-R supports IGMP version 1 (IGMP v1), IGMP version 2 (IGMP v2) and IGMP
version 3 (IGMP v3). Select “Disabled” to disable it.
