FCC STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
•
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1） This device may not cause harmful interference.
2） This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Note: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with

Chapter 1. Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the TD-W8968 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router.
1.1 Overview of the Modem Router
The TD-W8968 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router integrates 4-port Switch,
Firewall, NAT-Router and Wireless AP. Powered by 2x2 MIMO technology, the Wireless N Router
delivers exceptional range and speed, which can fully meet the need of Small Office/Home Office
(SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher networking performance.
The TD-W8968 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router utilizes integrated ADSL2+
transceiver and high speed MIPS CPU. The Router supports full-rate ADSL2+ connectivity
conforming to the ITU and ANSI specifications.
In addition to the basic DMT physical layer functions, the ADSL2+ PHY supports dual latency
ADSL2+ framing (fast and interleaved) and the I.432 ATM Physical Layer.
The router provides up to 300Mbps wireless connection with other 802.11n wireless clients. The
incredible speed makes it ideal for handling multiple data streams at the same time, which ensures
your network stable and smooth. The performance of this 802.11n wireless Router will give you the
unexpected networking experience at speed 650% faster than 802.11g. It is also compatible with all
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products.
With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless LAN 64/128
WEP encryption, Wi-Fi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), as well as advanced Firewall
protections, the TD-W8968 300Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router provides complete
data privacy.
The Router provides flexible access control, so that parents or network administrators can
establish restricted access policies for children or staff. It also supports Virtual Server and DMZ
host for Port Triggering, and then the network administrators can manage and monitor the network
in real time with the remote management function.
Since the Router is compatible with virtually all the major operating systems, it is very easy to
manage. Quick Setup Wizard is supported and detailed instructions are provided step by step in
this user guide. Before installing the Router, please look through this guide to know all the
Router’s functions.

3.
A local host makes an outgoing connection to an external host using a destination port
number defined in the Trigger Port field.
The modem router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with
this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
When necessary, the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the
ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.
) Note:

3.
When the trigger connection is released, the corresponding opened ports will be closed.
Each rule can only be used by one host on the LAN at a time. The trigger connection of other
hosts on the LAN will be refused.
Open Ports ranges cannot overlap each other.
4.10.3 DMZ
Choose menu “Forwarding→DMZ”, and then you can view and configure DMZ host in the screen
(shown in Figure 4-59).The DMZ host feature allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet
