The Vigor 166 functions as a modem straight out of the box, bridging a G.Fast or
VDSL2 connection directly to whatever is connected to its LAN ports, whether
that's a Router, Firewall, Network Appliance or a PC.
Because the Vigor 166 bridges G.Fast and VDSL2 to its LAN ports, your router will
need to be configured to establish its connection to the Internet.
To connect to the Internet, some ISPs assign an IP address automatically, while
others will require a username & password (supplied by your ISP). The Vigor 166
passes through both types of connection with no further configuration required.
Check your ISP's documentation to determine what type of connection to use.
Refer to your router's documentation to set up an Internet connection.
The Vigor 166 handles the VLAN tag that your ISP might require. We recommend
not to configure any VLAN tag on your router as that could stop the Internet
connection from establishing.
