Archer C2 setup issues

Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : Archer C2

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP : Plusnet


Got this new router but can't configure it. I have an ethernet cable coming out of the wall, going directly into the router. My ISP tells me that I shouldn't use a modem. I'm using a macbook pro to connect to the router wirelessly using the default network and password as the macbook doesn't have an ethernet port for a wired connection. I can login to the router admin using 192.168.0.1 but when I go through the quick setup I get this message -

"the cable is unplugged. before continuing, please make sure the cable of the WAN port is well connected to your device"

Does this mean I need to have a wired connection between router and laptop to set it up? In the instruction manual it says you can configure the router wirelessly. Can this setup work without a modem as my ISP says? They say I just need an ADSL2+ compatible router. Am I right in thinking that this router is ADSL2+ compatible?

Help appreciated!

Do you have RJ45 plug on the cable from ISP?

Did you connect the ethernet cable to WAN port of C2? It should be wired.

To configure it, you can connect to Wi-Fi network of C2 and login its web interface.
