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).

Went very well indeed, with ai on and off achieved full download speeds with low cpu usage, no stutter etc So to confirm speeds over 100Mbps and ai protection on this cpu is too weak to handle the demand of inspecting packets. Other than that and the IPV6 issue the firmware is fine for me as long as ai is off. @cozak Yes we already know about the Nat being disabled when ai is on, i was just merely stating since i see no other user other than myself on G.Fast which is affected more by this. That’s why i asked if other users on lower speeds experienced what i did when ai is enabled, and as above my friend who is on 80/20 not affected in anyway when ai is on with Nat being disabled.

They won’t be on the wan bandwidth as the cpu only maxes out when you have in excess of approximately 130mbps on the downstream. I have vdsl, 80 down 20 up and there is no reduction in speed (although cpu use is very high).

However as stated before this is all a moot point when ai protection brings local lan traffic to a crawl making it completely useless regardless of wan bandwidth.

Wan speeds also fall to snails pace if you start a local file copy whilst downloading. Try this for yourself with ai on, start a file download and note speed. Then start a file transfer from a wireless device (eg laptop) to an ether net connected device (eg NAS) and watch as the file download speed drops to pitiful levels.
