New firmware 150729 released on the TP-Link website today, don't look like it will do anything to help you though by the release notes.

I would have throught that created a pure bridge interface on the wan side would have done it but that also fails.....

When you make the bridge on a Billion you have to set the VLAN to 101 the same as the main connection, but the VR900 doesn't let you do that.

I think it would be useful to have a single thread which has all the VDSL modems and their respective chipsets, a long with links to users' stats with them?

Is the vr9000 compatible with DSLStats?

Is there not a way to access a BusyBox shell?

There might be a way via FTP. For example, if I log into my router by FTP (I'm currently using a Billion 7800DXL), I see the following:

Code: [Select]

The 'ls' command is the Unix command for a directory listing, and you can see that it reveals a link to busybox. It's just possible that the VR900 might have something similar.

Thank you vm for the suggestion Eric.   
Unfortunately, I tried that the other day and got empty directory listing. :(

Just a heads up that the VR900 will be one of Amazon's Lightning Deals tomorrow at 12.30pm.

Picked one up for £96.99 looking forward to replacing my HH5

It looks like the VR900v1 does not use the same DSL chip as the Netgear D7000.

The TP-Link firmware contains 2 operating systems. There's one built for an ARM cpu architecture with the wireless router components, and another for a MIPS cpu, with the DSL components. Both Broadcom. The Netgear D7000 has a DSL driver built for the ARM architecture.

Has anyone checked if the "enable" and then "sh" commands get you from the TP-Link CLI to the busybox shell?

There's another way on ZyXEL routers - I can't remember what it is but it might be worth looking into?

It's unlikely to work I'm afraid. TP-Link firmware seems to consist of standard Linux and opensource components, the hardware drivers, and TP-Link's own layer on top. The TP-Link telnet interface offers a limited subset of the router's functions, I think the Windows based setup CD accesses the telnet interface (or did on other TP-Link models).

It's not unexpected that there's no shell access, it's TP-Link's decision, the took the same line with their other recent modem/router models.
