Topic: Tp-Link td-w8970

The content of this topic has been archived between 26 Mar 2018 and 7 May 2018. Unfortunately there are posts – most likely complete pages – missing.

Hi All,

Is it possible to connect using Annex M instead of Annex A? I've got w8970 running the stock firmware and Annex M is indeed supported.


Many thanks!

Nice, thanks! Can I reach you somehow at IRC/Jabber/Mail?


Mozhna Ukrajinskoju abo na Russkom :)

hope this will help you to select correct settings for option annex

Toutatis and Sophoclean  can you post your ifconfig output from telnet or ssh ?

also I'm waiting for USB to serial adapter to try LEDE on it.

Sorry Snakus, what you wrote is above my knowledge. I don't know what to do with it.

My network config was working well for few weeks, so should I add something in?
ifconfig no WAN connected

Do you know LEDE? What are the difference with OpenWrt? Is there a GUI inside?

Do you know LEDE?

OpenWRT stopped developing and transferred to LEDE
LEDE is only snapshots at the moment without LUCI .

I have compiled LEDE with LUCI
You can give a try if you want, but  I did not check it yet on my router.
without any warranty - https://cloud.mail.ru/public/CbK7/tTtCDAVvB

as to ifconfig - too small uptime in your results.

and just change at the moment

config vdsl 'dsl'
    option annex 'a'
    option firmware '/lib/firmware/vdsl.bin'
    option tone 'av' 
    option xfer_mode 'ptm'

to

config vdsl 'dsl'
    option annex 'a'
    option firmware '/lib/firmware/vdsl.bin'
    option tone 'm' 
    option xfer_mode 'ptm'

also I need to know full setting as per provider manual (except pass).

I still can't connect WAN with option tone 'm'

For your info, for few weeks it was working well but I could not install samba, not enough memory. So I reinstalled it but now I can't connect even with my previous (working) setup.

The only I can provide is here https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 25#p336225
and you can read the 3 following posts where I got it working for the first time after OpenWrt new install..

I'll wait until you try it. Let me know, I am interested especially if the footprint is smaller than OpenWrt.
BTW, I'll need to connect USB drive and use samba, is it possible to add the drivers in the image?

Sure
May be a few weeks until I get serial converter
Did you try reset settings and setup again?
Even samba maybe included

(Last edited by Snakus on 17 Nov 2016, 15:14)

I didn't try reset. How to do it, by software or hardware button?
I did 2 installs from GUI then restore settings, still no WAN. This is why I'd be glad to try your image.
If you are sure I can install your image and if it's not working there is no difficulty to reinstall the official, I can do it.
I mean I don't want to brick the W8970.

Let me know

is DSL is up ?
Already tested. At least router starts

Do you want more info, what?
Can I try your image securely (even if not fully working?)?

I flashed my lede compilation on the router.
It was a problem ADSL connection is up but no internet.

solution:
1. change encapsulation mode from PTM to ATM
2. change in Interfaces -> WAN -Edit -> Physical Settings  ptm0.10 to nas0

Toutatis
Try another modem | router
or try with original firmware
and also check your line.
Your router do not get DSL connection up

- He! how do you think I can post here, I use another modem ;-) the one I got from the provider, Vodafone Huawei HG658c.
- The original firmware is TP-Link, I don't know how to do, Is it the same as OpenWrt or LEDE, through GUI?

I flashed your image and try now to set it up manually. I have now to install vdsl.bin
I'll let you know soon

You do not need VDSL.bin it's already there

DONE!!! It's working!
Could you check if all is right?
Vodafone says modem should use vectorisation, is it good here?

As to correct settings you can check your Vodafone Huawei HG658c

Here is updated build from updated sources for ADSL Annex A
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/GB4N/ZEoHyhEis
also included LuCi, samba, vsftpd, usb storage (ntfs, fat, ext4), print support p910nd, usb over ip server.

I then followed the instructions outlined by s7mx1 (including the block size check against the size of mtd1). Unfortunately after a reboot (by typing 'reboot' on the telnet shell), my router didn't come back up, appears bricked, and I'll need to dig out a serial interface to restore it, probably.

Today I have an adventure to follow s7mx1's guide and flash my TD-W8970. After flashing my Tp-link was near the brick state due corrupted squashfs partition. Thanks God this corruption was not fatal and device booted with network interface, sshd and dhcpd but all kernel modules are not readable with strange squashfs read errors in logs:

Thu Nov 17 17:32:53 2016 kern.err kernel: [ 1352.896000] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0xc236e

Problem was resolved by flashing sysupgrade image in cli interface (sysupgrade).
Be careful, probably writing to mtdblock1 ended up with not-enough-space error leaves corrupted data on the flash.
IMO It will be better to flash exactly the same sized first part of image onto /dev/mtdblock1.
Prepare both parts:

dd if=openwrt-15.05.1-lantiq-xrx200-TDW8970-sysupgrade.image of=openwrt-15.05.1-lantiq-xrx200-TDW8970-sysupgrade-0.image bs=1310720 count=1 
dd if=openwrt-15.05.1-lantiq-xrx200-TDW8970-sysupgrade.image of=openwrt-15.05.1-lantiq-xrx200-TDW8970-sysupgrade-1.image bs=1310720 skip=1

copy both parts on USB stick and flash it onto mtd partitions accordingly:

cat /var/usbdisk/sda1/openwrt-15.05.1-lantiq-xrx200-TDW8970-sysupgrade-0.image > /dev/mtdblock1
cat /var/usbdisk/sda1/openwrt-15.05.1-lantiq-xrx200-TDW8970-sysupgrade-1.image > /dev/mtdblock2

This is MY mistake.
I flashed your image from Yesterday 17:29:19 then tried to setup.
As I don't use virtual LAN, I removed VLAN in the GUI. Very bad, no LAN any more.
I started the box in failsave mode

The box is in failsafe mode but I can't telnet it.
Any idea how to connect to it? It should accept telnet, I did it previously.

factory reset with reset button
press button and switch it on keeping reset button pressed around 10 sec

Thank you very much, I appreciate all the help you gave me.
Now it' working well.
FYI network config, I deleted ATM conf as I use PPPoE
USB share is working
CRON is working
So I am happy with that thanks to you

Today I have an adventure to follow s7mx1's guide and flash my TD-W8970. After flashing my Tp-link was near the brick state due corrupted squashfs partition. Thanks God this corruption was not fatal and device booted with network interface, sshd and dhcpd but all kernel modules are not readable with strange squashfs read errors in logs:

No, I don't think this will be the case. The boundary and extent of that device is being policed by the kernel, as long as the size you use for the second slice is adjusted appropriately then everything should be fine.  The not-enough-space error just means you've exceeded the bounds of mtdblock1 [if you think about it, if it was this easy to corrupt flash, then there'd be bugs all over the place just because someone seek'ed to the wrong part of the device]

I think what's more likely is that this method is highly sensitive to the contents of at least one of the other flash partitions - probably there is something left on the config partition (mtd3) that causes subsequent boots to fail.

There is an issue with the config running LEDE
It's working fine however, there was a drop on the WAN line this night. I presume this is a provider outage.
This morning the modem was not connected and I did a reboot to get it back.
I'd guess the line status should be tested every x seconds to bring back DSL up. I tried to fine a faulty setting but everything looks good.
Is there something I miss or is there a bug?
Let me know if you need more info
