Correct. The Lantiq XRX200 modems lack the hardware to do 35b "Supervectoring", none of the currently OpenWrt-supported modems can do it

If one is willing to build one's own firmware image with external patches, it seems that vrx518 devices like fritzbox 7530 might actually allow using profile 35b:

Adding support for VRX518 (and maybe VRX320)

I am trying to add support for VRX518, and maybe VRX320 devices. I own an AVM 7530 (VRX518). As I can see, a lot of thread were created in these years, but none of them reached the goal: Netgear D7800 build Build new lantiq vdsl mei driver Support of Fritzbox 7530 ... Currently I am focusing on VRX518. Looking around, I found many repositories containing (probably) all the needed files. After some work I managed to build and load the modules on my AVM7530. drv_dsl_cpe_api drv_mei_cpe drv…

How well that works I can not judge, my ISP does not offer 35b on my link so I could not test that even if I had a vrx518 device to begin with.

Given the high market penetration of AVM devices in Germany and that profile 35b likely is both the peak and the end of common dsl technology (ignoring g.fast here) it would be sweet if OpenWrt could gain vrx518 support in mainline...
