Chapter 1. Product Overview

Thank you for choosing the TD-W9970/TD-W9970B 300Mbps Wireless N USB VDSL/ADSL Modem Router.

1.1 Overview of the Modem Router

The modem router integrates 4-port Switch, Firewall, NAT-Router and Wireless AP. The Modem Router delivers exceptional range and speed, which can fully meet the need of Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher networking performance.

The modem router utilizes integrated VDSL2 transceiver and high speed MIPS CPU. The modem router supports full-rate VDSL2 connectivity conforming to the ITU and ANSI specifications.

In addition to the basic DMT physical layer functions, the VDSL2 PHY supports dual latency VDSL2 framing (fast and interleaved) and the I.432 ATM Physical Layer.

The modem router provides up to 300Mbps (2. 4GHz) wireless connection with other 802.11n wireless clients. The incredible speed makes it ideal for handling multiple data streams at the same time, which ensures your network stable and smooth. The performance of this 802.11n wireless Router will g ive you the unexpected networking experience at speed much faster than 802.11g. It is also compat ible with all IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products.

With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless LAN 64/128 WEP encryption, Wi-Fi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), as well as advanced Firewall protections, the modem router provides complete data privacy.

The modem router provides flexible access control, so that parents or network administrators can establish restricted access policies for children or staff. It also supports Virtual Server and DMZ host for Port Triggering, and then the network administrators can manage and monitor the network in real time with the remote management function.

Since the modem router is compatible with virtually all the major operating systems, it is ve r y easy to manage. Quick Setup Wizard is supported and detailed instructions are provided step by step in this user guide. Before installing the modem router, please look through this guide to know all the modem router’s functions.

Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide

This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your modem router using Qu ick Setu p Wizard within minutes.

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the 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/ W A N port of the modem router. And then you can configure the IP address for your PC in the following way.

 Obtain an IP address automatically

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

shooting.

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.

 Mo de : You can select M ain or Aggressive. Select Main to configure the standard negotiation

parameters for IKE phase1. Select Aggressive to configure IKE phase1 of the VPN Tunnel to carry out negotiation in a shorter amount of time. (Not Recommended-Less Secure)

Note:

The difference between the two is that aggressive mode will pass more information in fewer packets, with the benefit of slightly faster connection establishment, at the cost of transmitting the identities of the security firewall in the clear. When using aggressive mode, some configuration parameters such as Diffie-Hellman groups, and PFS cannot be negotiated, resulting in a greater importance of having "compatible" configuration on both ends.

 M y I dentifier Type - Select the local ID type for IKE negotiation. Local Wan IP: uses an IP

address as the ID in IKE negotiation. FQDN: uses a name as the ID.

 Transmit Power: Here you can specify the transmit power of modem router. You can select

High, Middle or Low which you would like. High is the default setting and is recommended.

 Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 25-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here. T h e

beacons are the packets sent by the modem router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.

 RTS Threshold: Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is

larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the modem router will send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is

2346.

 Fragmentation Threshold: This value is the maximum size determining whether packets

will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance because of excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.

 DTIM Interval: This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message

(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the modem router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.

 Enable Short GI: This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by

reducing the guard interval time

 Enabled Cl ie nt isolation: This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from

each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the modem router but not with each other. To use this function, check this box. Client isolation is disabled by default.

 Enable WMM: WM M functio n can guarantee the packets with high-priority messages being

transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended.

Note:

If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep the provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.

Once the modem router is configured, the operation is as follows:

1. A local host makes an outgoing connection to an external host using a destination port number defined in the Trigger Port field.

2. The modem router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.

3. When necessary, the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.

Note:

1. When the trigger connection is released, the corresponding opened ports will be closed.

2. Each rule can only be used by one host on the LAN at a time. The trigger connection of other hosts on the LAN will be refused.

3. Open Ports ranges cannot overlap each other.

4.13.3 DMZ

Choose menu “Forwarding→DM Z”, and then you can view and configure DMZ host in the screen

The modem router forwards packets of all services to the DMZ host. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP Address assigned to it because its IP Address may be changed when using the DHCP function.
