The Vigor 166 can be used either as a modem, bridging G.Fast or VDSl2 to its
Ethernet ports, or as a router, connecting directly to the Internet and providing
connectivity to any connected devices.
The Vigor 166 is pre-configured to work with most UK ISPs, with ideal settings for
connecting to the Openreach G.Fast / VDSL2 network, adding VLAN tag 101 to
any traffic passing through it.
Out of the box, the Vigor 166 operates in Modem/Bridge mode. To use the Vigor
166 as a modem for G.Fast or VDSL2 connections, connect it up to the DSL line
and connect your router to one of the Vigor 166's LAN ports.
In your router's configuration, set up the Internet connection to use PPPoE if
your ISP has provided a Username and Password for you to connect to the
Internet with. Otherwise, configure the Internet connection to connect
automatically (using DHCP) or with a static IP if your ISP has supplied one.
The Vigor 166 can be used as a router, connecting to the Internet directly and
providing connectivity to all connected devices.
See section "5.5 Using the Vigor 166 as a Router" for more information.

To connect to the Vigor 166's web interface, connect its Ethernet (RJ45) port
directly to your PC.
If your PC is enabled as a DHCP client, it will get an IP address from the Vigor 166,
otherwise, set your PC to an IP address in the 192.168.2.x subnet (where 'x' is
any number between 2-254).
The Vigor 166 should then be accessible on its default address in your web
browser of http://192.168.2.1 and you can login with the default
username/password of admin/admin.
