Help setting up TP-Link what have I done wrong?

[DAVEBETTZ]

Finally bought a new router TP-Link c1200 wireless Router,as the connection on my vodafone router kept dropping & the speed was terrible.

Managed to get my username and password but I can't get the router to connect.

It's been a while since I had to type in my details to access the internet.Have i bought the correct router? 

I've clicked network on the router and entered the following

I've seen people mention I need to change the vlan to 101 and tick 802.1q.

I can't find the vlan settings my router had IPTV is that the right area? And when I click custom mode then select internet Vlad Id I've set it to 101 but it then asks me to set the other 2 options any help?

Got my setup from:   https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Broadband-Home-Phone/HOW-TO-Use-a-third-party-router-on-Vodafone-VDS...

I have also seen on various threads that the username must be:  @broadband.vodafone.co.uk   as CS has been known to give @broadband.vodafone.com (Which apparently wont work)

I would reset router and start again and use the Quick Setup within the Web Browser.

I've just noticed in the corner of one of your photos the router is an Archer C50

The user manual for the C50 quite clearly says - WAN Port For connecting to a DSL/Cable modem, or an Ethernet port

Sorry to say the router you have needs to be connected to either a DSL modem or Cable/Fibre modem it will not work connecting directly to your incoming telephone line / micro filter

Thanks, yeah I had a feeling of gone and brought the wrong router.

Any decent routers for under £50?

I use a Zyxel VMG8924-B10A bought 2nd hand on ebay for less that £25.

An alternative for you would be a Huawei HG612 modem to work with your C50
