TD-W8980 Firmware / NAT issues
TD-W8980 Firmware / NAT issues
2013-05-21 12:43:20
Region : Australia

Model : TD-W8980

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


Could you please advise whether we can expect a new firmware supporting NAT loopback and NAT with different internal/external ports.

I have used the TD-W8960 in the past and these features were present and worked very well. I am disappointed that these are not currently present in the top of the line 8980 model. As I require these features I will return this router to the place of purchase if there is no plan to add these features in the near future.

the new firmware of 8980 is under developing , i saw 8970 old firmware doesn't support NAT loopback also, but now a new firmware which support NAT loopback for 8970 has been released.
so please be patient.

The firmware was released a month ago for the w8970. Seeing as this is the higher model we're talking about which obviously isnt as popular im not holding my breath.
The unit went back yesterday...

Well at least it'll keep the apple fanboys happy.
Shame I won't touch an apple product with a barge pole.

I think Firmware 130305 and Firmware 130304 are the same. They just end with different numbers.

Hi,

TP-LINK are aware of this issue but have no intention of sorting it out.

The support team are completely useless.

Mine is going back or in the bin!

Will never buy from them again.

Any updates on the availability of new firmware? The lack of NAT loopback is particularly annoying...

No! and I doubt there ever will be.

I have given up and bought another router.
