Setting up the DSL modem router as a regular router

If you want to expand the wireless network and also use Telephony function, we recommend you configure the TP-Link VoIP DSL modem router as a wireless router and connect it behind the main router. In this case, please use Dynamic IP as Internet connection method. In addition, if you find that the Telephony function cannot make normal calls in or out, please check whether the front-end main router has a SIP ALG option. If so, please try to enable this option.
