Help needed in configuring a Router (TP LINK TD-W8968)

[ravi garg]

Hi all,

I want to set up wifi. The internet source is local cabel broadband.

The Router I have is TP LINK TD-W8968

Problem: The local cable wala broadband has a RJ45 cable

What I did is that, I connect the LAN Cable from that device to the tp-link router and connected the router to power. I tried to configure it myself. I select the router mode (in router settings) and give my username and password they give me there and saved all setting and restarted.

But the problem is that, Wi-Fi gets connected but I can't browse internet. The connection stays Limited on my PC nor I can't browse any pages on my phone.

Do I have to do anything else? Please guide

Regards.

The TP LINK TD-W8968 is a ADSL router; not a cable modem router. Unless it specifically says it supports cable modem then it won't work.

You need a standard router, not a modem/router like the TP LINK TD-W8968 is.

Hi ,

Thanks for replying,

My router has WAN/LAN port . I have done some research on this and it is possible to connect cable broadband. Also, while purchasing this model the sales guy told me that it support the cable broadband (he aint know how to configure it).
The problem lies that I can connect the wifi from it, but I am not able to surf the net from my mobile (ie mobile is connecting to the wifi but net is unavailable).

Therefore I do not know whether router need to be configure or mobile need to be configure !!!!

I have the same router and it works with the Broadband cable connection....

U call the guy from the broadband company and he will configure the router (Router will be configure with the WAN IP Address of the broadband company)

and no need to configure your mobile...

Hi All,
