My old data-one modem is working fine.
I bought new TP-link TD-W8968 V3 wifi modem router but cannot get it to work.
I have seen some guides about setting up the user interface for this looks a little different so can't figure it out (screenshot attached)
Ping 192.168.1.1 works (screenshot attached)
ipconfig/all screenshot attached. (screenshot attached)

Please tell me how to setup this modem/router.

OR if anyone else has V3 and BSNL broadband backup settings to file and send that to me?

PS: I can't upload sccreenshots so look h

there should be a vertical list containing various options.
go to Quick Setup, click Next
choose Operation Mode as ADSL Modem Router Mode
click next and you will get - "Please enter the VPI/VCI provided by your ISP(Internet Service Provider)."
choose ISP as BSNL, click next
enter the Username and Password, click next
keep clicking next and whereever you find save and reboot, do that. nothing more is needed till you need wifi / 3g / usb part.
