Region : Ireland

Model : TD-W8980

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 0.6.0 1.5 v000e.0 Build 140408 Rel.49241n

ISP :


I am attempting to add a URL as a 'WAN Host' on ipv4 firewall rules. The URL is getting cropped to 31 characters and the URL I need to block is 33 chars long. This is an odd restriction and I'm wondering if this is a bug?
It is very easy to replicate this problem by going to IPV4 firewall --> WAN Host --> Mode = URL address. Typing anything in the 'Add URL address' box will stop @ 31 chars.

Yeah, I tried with the emulator of W8980 and it is true...

Confirm with TP-LINK people to see if it will be improved in future firmware. Share it here for others to refer to. :)
