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
any other antenna or transmitter.
“To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this grant is applicable to only
Mobile Configurations. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a
separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”
Customer Information
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the ACTA. On the BOTTOM OF DEVICE is a label that contains,
among other information, a product identifier in the format US:

modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not
ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that
may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local
telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:
TPLDL01BTDW8968V3. The digits represented by 01B are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3).

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 modem 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 modem 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 modem 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.
