How to setup Vanilla ADSL on the TP-LINK TD-8816 ethernet modem/router

Before you begin

Please ensure that your modem/router is connected to your telephone line by a telephone cable and your computer is connected to your modem/router with a LAN cable. The difference between a telephone cable and a LAN cable can be seen here. Also, you need to conect your router to it's power supply and it's power supply to a free two-prong socket.

STEP ONE: Log into the router from your computer

You will need to have a working network card or port with a computer attached in order to connect to the ADSL router. These instructions assume the default router setup, if they do not work, call us or your IT support person. This guide assumes that you have set up all the physical conections. Check that the power, LAN and ADSL lights are all on and solid. If not, call us to troubleshoot.

1. Open a browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox etc.) and type http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar
