you didn't replied to my posts so how can you expect me to help.i asked you the ipconfig results of both cases(when cable is directly connected to pc & when it is connected via w8968).you first posted only directly connected case result & after you posted the 2nd case result i asked you to use lan cable not wifi to connect to w8968 until you configure the connection but no reply from you.just for future reference it is the most basic thing to use lan cable & not wifi when configuring any wifi modem/router for the first time.

I thought u concluded the conversation by saying tht " i should use the lan cable" instead of wifi.
Thts why i didn't reply anymore.
Anyways can u help me out from this mess?

use lan cable to connect w8968(connected to cable broadband) to pc & then post ipconfig result.

in w8968 when you use mac cloning did you used your pc mac address(00-E0-13-00-F1-21) & rebooted the w8968 after applying setting.if not then do this & after reboot you should see changed mac address in the settings.then use the software/website given by isp to connect to net.

when i'm doin the mac clone they are just making copy of the router mac address which is 00-13-02-C4-DD-94, nothing else. But i guess the isp has the old mac address (00-E0-13-00-F1-21) which is not getting replaced by the cloning and thats why the mismatch is happening.
i called my service provider but they refused to co-operate.

no problem :) i don't recommend using setup CD.does net work when w8968 is connected by lan wire & giving above values?

No Net is not working in tht condition.

Dude do 1 thing-
Call TP-Link Support!
He will Remote Desktop and set you up!
You have to arrange external connection like hotspot and communicate on phone!

If no solution comes out,they will send you an email and you can replace that router!
You will get a new one!
