Region : UK

Model : TD-W8980

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I am looking for a solid ADSL2+ for a large multi-family estate with 4 connected routers and dozens of devices.

any idea if TD-W8980 actually supports Annex M :confused: ? I've been looking for a definite answer with no luck. The only close answer I found was on Whirpool forums but it is a vague answer to say the least.

My alternative Billion BiPAC 7800DXL clearly states Annex M support, but also double the price in the UK ;).

Additionally, how stable is the TD-W8980 with as DHCP server with multiple routers acting as APs? the current TD-W8961ND is lousy at supporting reassignment of IP addresses of devices moving between multiple APs, usually we need to restart the router to reconnect devices.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi.
One of my friends has a TD-W8980 and this modem can support Annex M.

" how stable is the TD-W8980 with as DHCP server with multiple routers acting as APs?"
Not sure if it can be stable.
TD-W8980 is still a soho modem router. Connect multiple APs to TD-W8980 and then connect wireless clients to the APs, the wireless clients are still sending and receiving datas through TD-W8980. If you connect too many wireless clients to the modem, the modem may be overloaded and you may need to restart the modem to make it running again.
