TD-W8970 - unable to manage over internet after firmware upgrade
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TD-W8970
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 141008
ISP :
Following a firmware upgrade to v141008 last week, I can no longer access the router over the internet. I have checked the configuration and the router has my correct IP address in the Manage section, and management is enabled on port 8000 remotely.
When I try to access the router, I get the login page. After entering the correct username and password, I get "403 Forbidden" in a box and can't get any further.
Is this a new firmware bug, or is there another new setting needed to make remote management work again?
