Briefly about the model
I usually don't include this section, but here we don't have the most standard modem.
The most important thing before setting up the TP-TD-W8968 is to decide on the ports. What we have on the back panel (see the picture above, from left to right):
- DSL - for connecting a telephone cable (I will show the wiring diagram in more detail below)
- LAN - 4 ports for connecting local devices. It is better to connect your computer through them during initial setup.
- USB - can be used to connect a 3G modem.
- 4 buttons - Wi-Fi activation, factory reset, WPS activation, power button.
- Power port.
That's all I wanted to say, because... In the process of description I will repeatedly refer to these ports and buttons. Now you can start setting up.
In the left side window, select AirPort and click the More... button.

Manual setting
After automatic configuration and re-login, you can configure additional functions of the router - Internet access (if the automatic settings did not catch the necessary parameters), setting up a home network, IPTV, registering routes.
The router may incorrectly detect the Internet settings for Rostelecom. Below are instructions with settings.
Rostelecom connection
To set up the W8901N, you need to call the provider’s technical department at 8-800-100-0800 and check the connection parameters:
- connection characteristics - VPI and VCI;
- encapsulation – LLC;
- connection - PPPoE, Dynamic or Static IP.
When using the services of this operator, you can do everything similarly, taking into account the applied network parameters.
Setting up the connection.
Go to the modem’s web window and in the main menu select the “Interface Settings> Internet” section. Typically, the device is already pre-configured with several virtual connections. Therefore, a new one is not needed; you need to edit the existing one by clicking on the “Brief information about PVC” button, as in the screenshot above.
After this, a table with a list of connections will appear. You need to look for matches with the VPI and VCI values. If they exist, then in the “Virtual channel” field, select this PVC connection. If there is nothing like that, then choose any, for example, PVC1.
When establishing a PPPoE connection, the bridge interface is set to “on” mode. Below the settings, click on “save”.
In the "supplier" field. After saving the configuration and rebooting the modem, you can use the Internet.
