Hi ACT Broadband,
I have appled for the ACT connection in Bangalore. I want to know whether I can use "TP-Link TL-WR740N 150Mbps Wireless N Router" for this connection. The ACT service person told that I require a DSL wi-fi router. I have the above router, is it sufficient to use?
Thanks...

It should work without any issue. Connect the incoming cable to the blue WAN port. In the setup, select PPPoE and enter your ACT username(email) and password.
