TP-Link TD-W9960 300Mbps Wireless N VDSL/ADSL Modem Router

The TP-Link TD-W9960 300Mbps Wireless N VDSL/ADSL Modem Router is a versatile, all-in-one networking solution designed to meet the demands of modern home offices and residential broadband users. Combining high-speed VDSL2 broadband access with robust wireless N performance, this device ensures reliable connectivity for web browsing, streaming, and online applications. Featuring intuitive management tools, flexible operation modes, and comprehensive security features, the TD-W9960 delivers dependable everyday performance.

High-Speed VDSL Connectivity and Versatile Operation

The TD-W9960 functions as both a high-speed DSL modem router and a standalone wireless router, providing ultimate flexibility for various broadband connection types. With support for VDSL2 technology alongside vectoring and G.INP, it achieves download speeds of up to 100Mbps, which helps eliminate bottlenecks during data-intensive tasks. Furthermore, its LAN/WAN interchangeable port allows users to switch effortlessly between DSL connections and fibre or cable modems, ensuring the hardware remains adaptable as network setups evolve.

High-Speed Wi-Fi Performance

The router delivers reliable wireless connectivity with speeds of up to 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, making it well-suited for everyday online activities such as streaming video content, web browsing, and general networking tasks.

Reliable Wireless Coverage and Beamformed Performance

Equipped with two fixed 5dBi high-gain omni-directional antennas, the router projects stable wireless signals across medium-sized indoor spaces to minimize dead zones. The 300Mbps wireless N performance is well-suited for everyday online activities, while built-in features like wireless scheduling enable users to turn the Wi-Fi radio on or off based on custom timetables. Additionally, Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) and IP QoS bandwidth control prioritize traffic to ensure smooth streaming and responsive connection quality.

Built-In 6kV Lightning Protection

The router is engineered with robust 6kV lightning protection designed to shield the hardware from electrical surges caused by thunderstorms. This built-in safeguard helps prevent electrical damage, ensuring your device remains operational and giving you peace of mind during severe weather conditions.

Enhanced Security and Parental Controls

The device features comprehensive parental controls that allow administrators to restrict online time and block inappropriate content for specific connected devices. Additionally, the guest network function generates a separate, isolated Wi-Fi connection for visitors, ensuring your main network remains secure from unauthorised access.

Flexible Management and Remote Administration Tools

Managing the network is straightforward thanks to an intuitive web user interface and the TP-Link Tether mobile application, which allows users to oversee network settings directly from a smartphone or tablet. For advanced users and service providers, the device supports remote management protocols including TR-069, SNMP, and Telnet configuration. This ensures the router can be easily monitored, updated, and diagnosed remotely without hassle.
