Chapter 2. Connecting the Modem Router

2.1 System Requirements

Broadband Internet Access Service (DSL/Cable/Ethernet).
PCs with a working Ethernet Adapter and an Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors.
TCP/IP protocol on each PC.
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari.

2.2 Installation Environment Requirements

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.

Method one: Plug one end of the twisted-pair VDSL cable into the VDSL port on the rear panel of TD-W9980, 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 VDSL port of TD-W9980
Plug one end of the twisted-pair VDSL cable into the VDSL port on the rear panel of TD-W9980. 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 modem routerTD-W9980.
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

This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your TD-W9980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 Modem Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the TD-W9980 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 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/WAN 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 Appendix B: Trouble
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.
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.
Figure 3-2
