I'd hope the 2.1 version would be compatible... There was some work on getting stuff done on the wndr4300(?) but I don't know where that left off.

Are you remembering that? The model was the TP-Link TD-W8970. This is Lantiq-based, as is the DSLAM to which I attach. Note that the TD-W8980 looks identical, has a better feature set, but uses a Trendchip SoC, which is never going to have open source software, and is hopeless on long lines. The TD-W8970 has telnet permanently on, with a password of 'admin', which is immutable. The latest firmware version, 28/08/2013, has a custom version of u-boot which is difficult to change if your header soldering skills are below par, but units in Europe have been shipped with an earlier firmware version. An earlier version allows flashing to OpenWRT, which is in development for, but unreleased on this device. There are no external clues on the product box concerning firmware version. So, there is hope for the future with that device. As you could be 3 to 4 kilometres from the exchange, I guess that a Lantiq box would hold the line. Others might disagree. http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/td-w8970 note the warnings. (.. reduce it's over buffering,,, .'its', not 'it's' is the possessive form.)
