# Install custom router for telekom

I use my tp-link router Archer C80

## Select connection type

You will need to select the PPPoE connection type

## Provide username and password

Template of username is: `<Anschlusskennung><Zugangsnummer><Mitbenutzernummer>@t-online.de` NOTE: symbols `<`, `>` do not need to add

Template password: `Persönliche Kennwort`

You can find `Anschlusskennung`, `Zugangsnummer`, `Mitbenutzernummer`, and `Persönliche Kennwort` in your contract

## Additional settings \[for me it was a game changer]

I had to select the special ISP Settings (IPTV/VLAN) with a profile for Telekom ![Special ISP settings](https://754253920-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FqcmS9oj3VW6KrdSZWfWt%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5f533772475fc1f7f8d1bc507891f1b45b6fb855%2Ftelekom-additional-isp-settings.png?alt=media)
