300Mbps Wireless - Incredible Wireless SpeedWith two detachable antennas, the TD-W9970 delivers up to 300Mbps, which is ideal for users who rely on speedy and reliable connections for bandwidth intensive work or entertainment such as lag-free conference calls, HD video streaming and online gaming. |
Two Work Modes for Flexible UsesThe TD-W9970 provides two work modes to choose from: VDSL/ ADSL Modem Router Mode and Wireless Router Mode. If you are using VDSL/ADSL service to get Internet, select the first mode. If you are using a cable, fiber, such as Virgin Media, or other types of Internet service, select the second mode and configure it as a pure wireless router. Such flexibility saves your investment and is useful when you decide to change your service provider. |
Versatile USB SharingUsing the TD-W9970’s multi-functional USB 2.0 port, users can share printers, files and media either throughout the network at home with several different computers or even away, using the device’s FTP server functions so that you never have to part with your files. |

Performance is good and the basic port forwarding works as expected.
However, unless you are a tech genius who will lock down all internal machines with SPI firewalls, do not trust this router to protect your internal machines.
The SIP ALG (an automatic gateway to allow you to use a VoIP service) opens up port 5060 to the whole WAN and forwards it to the internal machine using SIP. The setting (and others similar) are enabled by default.
This meant that whilst thinking my internal machine was secure because it is behind a NAT firewall, the TP link router has forwarded all incoming connections directly to it. This has cost me a huge amount of money due to hackers making international phone calls.
I e-mailed TP-Link tech support and they have confirmed multiple times that this is expected behaviour of the ALG.
For their attitude towards security, this router goes from 5 starts to 0 from me.
I use the modem in 'bridge' mode (see instructions in product description) connected to my firewall, and with the wireless disabled (which I never intended to use), so I can't comment on the wireless functionality. I have the Smart Hub set up as my wireless access point instead, and in this regard it works very well. I did notice that this has a lot of security functions like built-in firewall, wireless guest network, and SPI, but I don't need these; nice to see though. I can get line stats fairly easily by connecting my laptop to one of the free LAN ports on the modem, and it wall mounts. Frustratingly, since I won't be using the wireless, I can't easily remove the antennae as they are moulded, and just get in the way. It would be great if these could be detached without tearing the thing apart, but since I don’t want to invalidate the 3 year warranty I’ll have to live with it - for 3 years at least! Still 5 stars though, as all things considered, this is a fantastic bit of kit that fits my needs more than adequately. I hope you found this review helpful!
Update: MY set up above may confuse. For a typical home set up, you don't need any additional equipment, it will serve fine as your modem, firewall and wireless access point, just like a BT Smart Hub. I believe this is the default set up mode too, so should be easy to configure.
Every bit as good as the Sagecom provided by PlusNet but more configurable - for example, in the DHCP settings you can give you internal LAN devices DNS settings different to those used by PlusNet - OpenDNS or Google's DNS settings are popular.
One essential configuration that most home users need (must?) to apply is enabling the firewall - see 1st image - by default it is disabled!
Once enabled use a browser to visit the Shields Up service at grc.com and run an all service ports scan - see 2nd image.
Also set the time server - use a pool address rather than specific e.g. uk.pool.ntp.org - this will keep the device in sync making the System Log entries much easier to read when something untoward happens.

One negative which I noticed though was that now if someone is connected to the wifi and uploading photos/videos through apps like Instagram/Tiktok, it's almost as if the router is giving priority to those activities and causing lag spikes. Unsure why this is but even with traffic control, the router would lose some stability. This obviously isn't an issue if no one uploads to social media regularly in your household (or does not use wifi for it) but had to deduct 1* because this affect me.
