Do we have any info on TD-W9980?
I find it for €90-100 here in Greece, and I'm thinking of buying it.
There is also a commercial spot on youtube.

Same hardware as TD-W8980.
Lantiq based soc ( 64MB RAM, 8MB Flash )
Lantiq based xdsl
Atheros wireless (2.4GHz 2x2 )
Lantiq wireless ( 5.8GHz 2x2 )
I just crossflash my TD-W8980 using the 9980 firmware to gain VDSL support.
Good evening. Have you confirmed it's working as a VDSL modem after crossflashing? Which firmware have you used?
Thank u in advance!

The xdsl chipset is the same as used in TD-W8970 and TD-8980. The openwrt firmware for 8970 supports vdsl2.
I expect to test vdsl2 compatibility this weekend. I will post the results.
The firmware update was made using the official firmware for TD-W9980, striping U-boot and flashing via serial console.
See here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/td-w8970
firmware ( TD-W9980 ) http://www.tp-link.com/resources/softwa … 140613.zip
Thanx! Will be looking forward to your results.
TD-W8980 crossflashed to TD-W9980.
Tested with VDSL2 line with profile 17a downstream 55Mb/s and upstream 6Mb/s.
Works perfectly.
Good evening, I have the td-w8970 and i'd like to use it as vdsl router. I saw that the user zhadoom could make TD-W8980 crossflashed for TD-W9980. Could someone explain me what "crossflash" means? Can I do the same in the td-w8970? Thank you.
means flashing a firmware for another model 
I think you can do that with 8970, check wiki for how to access serial console.
You will need a ttl (3.3V) serial interface..

1st at all. You need a serial console. I use an usb to TTL serial for this purpose.
Read this for useful info: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/td-w8970
Download the last TD-W9980 firmware ( http://www.tplink.com/resources/softwar … 140819.rar )
Strip the U-BOOT from the image file.
dd is a linux command. Original.bin is the renamed original firmware from tplink. 9980.bin is the striped file ( without U-boot ).
dd if=original.bin of=9980.bin skip=257 bs=512You need a tftp server ( tftp32 works well for this ).
Flash the device ( all operations in U-Boot serial console )
tftpboot 0x80800000 9980.bin
sf erase 0x20000 0x7a0000
sf write 0x80800000 0x20000 0x7a0000Read my tutorial ( in Portuguese ) translated using google: https://translate.google.com/translate? … mp;act=url post 6280.

The commands aren't the same. The router in Youtube video is based on Atheros. The 9980 is based on Lantiq.
The correct commands are in my previous post.
i understand that the only way to complete this is to attach a cable to serial contacts insdie the routher
?
ho again do i have to use ttl converter or can i use serial? rs232
(Last edited by tzrmes on 30 Sep 2014, 14:16)
ttl converter.
RS232 will burn the router's internal serial port.
I am looking for a dsl router that has working dsl modem functionality with openwrt. Can you confirm working dsl/vdsl support with the TP-Link TD-W9980?

please try to flash it again and post a complete serial log of the procedure.
your current firmware image is trimmed wrongly, damaged, or whatever, if you get that error.
