Hi,
I have TD-8970 router and I'm trying to connect with telnet.
The problem is that it rejects username/password combination I use to login to web management at http://192.168.1.1/
Does anyone else had such a problem?

Default username and password are both admin. Did you change username or password?
If they are rejected, to login http://192.168.1.1, you may have to reset it to factory defaults.

Oh, I already know what happened. The password was too long!
It didn't work for 20 characters password, neither for 16 characters.
But it worked for 10 and 12 characters. Somewhere between must be the limit of password length.
Do you think I should report this as bug?
I use autogenerated passwords from KeePass, this is why it's so long.

It is a bug verified by TP-LINK support indeed. Actually, the password cannot be longer than 15 characters. If it is longer than 15 characters, only the first 15 will be saved as the password. When you login via web brower, it will only identify the first 15 as well and you can login. However, telnet still accept the complete password, so that you cannot login via telnet. But if you just type in the first 15, you will be login via telnet as well.
Not sure if I explained it clearly enough...

For me it is totally clear. However I think they should at least put information somewhere that you shouldn't set passwords longer than 15 characters.
Instead there will be user complaints about this issue.
