Hi All, just found this forum. My rambling is a bit long, but there is a question at the end.

Not long after I bought this TD-W8980 the 5Ghz started to waffle up and down randomly. I called tech support and they told me to reboot. Having updated the firmware three times and hard-reset the thing about a zillion, all to no avail as I kept asking for an RMA to return it for warranty-service and they kept telling me to reboot. Disgusted, I bought a Buffalo with dd-wrt.
Yesterday I was throwing out junk and noticed the 8980 with the USB ports on the back so fired it up. I then dumbed down the setup to work basically a NAS server with a wifi AP.
All good, well, almost all good. The errant 5GHz wifi needs to be disabled. My cell phone automatically locks onto the 5GHz which is normally OK, just not with the 8980.
So, I decided to open it up and cut the wires to the antennas. But I find there are five. Two Internal and three external all leads are soldered to the board.
Looking from the back, Jumpers...
J503 Right external
J505 Center external
J507 Left external
J509 Left Internal
J508 Right Internal
Sooo, can anyone please tell me which antenna leads I need to clip from the jumpers to nobble 5GHz?
Had they been aerial-lead clips I could swap around, but soldered directly to the board means cutting!
Thanks
