The Vodafone supplied modem/router will regularly stall and require a reboot as least 3-4 times a week. So, for initial setup of theTD-W9970, it prompts to select ISP and Talktalk VSDL is an available option.

Not sure if the modem has decided I don't need anymore as I'm already syncing with the full 20Mbps so it doesn't matter. The Local storage sharing feature allows you to share a USB storage device that’s connected to the modem, (USB Drive or mobile Hard Disk Drive) to other wired or wireless users on the same network.It is designed to support the wide deployment of triple play services such as voice, video, data, high-definition television (HDTV) and interactive gaming. Yes, you may go through the setup process on the TD-W9970 first to change it into the bridge mode and then go through the setup process on the Archer C7 to configure with PPPOE on its WAN.

I would greatly appreciate if you could advise on the appropriate settings for fibre Talktalk ISP setting. It also doesn’t help that the TD-W9970 is model V3 and there’s only a V2 user guide available on the support page. On the TD-W9970, the DSL lightis on and the internet light is off - implying that I have somehow managed to get it running in bridge mode. For some reason there seems to be less available headroom on the upstream, but looking further in the CLI I notice my upstream power has been choked to just 3.Of course there are plenty of routers out there which will give you faster wi-fi speeds, but you will have to pay for it. Lack of access to the Broadcom CLI means it wont work with DSLstats or MDWS for linestats monitoring and graphing. Too many review sites also seem to concentrate purely on wireless performance, but what use is decent wi-fi if the DSL modem which supplies your broadband connection to your home isn't the best and not giving you stable broadband and making the most of your line?
