Reply To: ASUS – DSL-AC88U / DSL-AC3100 Firmwares (beta's) etc. Looks like a new Beta Release for the DSL-AC88U is available, this version has Telnet enabled and improved 2.4GHz wifi (I believe).

Hi, Also new here, I have followed various forums including the asus vip one (sad to see that gone). I saw this one being mentioned on a whirlpool post and thought i’d register here Ive had the AC88u for a while, its been quite the journey with its ups and downs. Ive been on firmware 503, until official 585 dropped. Since the update to 585 ive noticed a huge drop in speed/throughput when AI Protection is enabled. On the previous firmware 503 i was getting my full G.Fast connection of 310Mb/315 max. But now im lucky to even reach 90-100Mb. When i disable AI Protection i get full speed again. Im wondering is it worth disabling ai protection until next firmware or would that be a bad idea due to vulnerabilities etc?

Welcome. Yes ASUS VIP was a big loss, I also believe the AiProtection is causing throughput issues with Build585 (stock), I have been in contact with ASUS and one of there engineers cannot find any issues with speed reduction.

AiProtection, nice to have, 300Mbps, nice to have, which do you value more? as I would personally take the throughput hit until bug is fixed.

As you are one of those lucky users on G.fast, if you use the ASUS UI – Feedback form and send ASUS a message saying, speeds issue with AiProtection and mention UK Sentinel and tick all check boxes,  then I will after you confirm you have done this, I will drop ASUS  an email also to advise this is what you are doing, this way they have another DSL-AC88U user with AiProtection throughput issues to look at ;-)
