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).

I guess the DSL AC88U is crap then and was a waste of my money as it is no way a upgrade to the DSL AC68U which by far shits on this AC88U.

I think I will be returning this modem to get a full refund as is a total waste of nearly 600 AUD. And the DSL AC68U I got brand new for half the price of the DSL AC88U.

I might also take Asus to the Australian ombudsman as this modem has been sold with features it doesn’t support and features it do have either don’t work or is a complete UI mess, the ui has taken 5 year step backwards in the DSL AC88U compared to the DSL AC68U.

If Asus are no longer enabling SSH on stock firmware, then I have no need of their modem/routers.

I Tried emailing Asus from the feedback form asking for telnet/SSH access for my DSL AC88U modem or I’d be taking it back for refund and filing a complaint with ombudsman but I haven’t heard back.

They seem to reply to positive feedback but anything remotely not positive and we’re ignored.

Your lucky that they reply to you.

Thanks for the help and info.

It was such a shame they advised in an email prior to purchase it had identical software features to the DSL AC68U, which they lied to me about. I’m glad I kept the email from them for the ombudsman. :)

Regards,

Ricky.

Looks like I’ll be plugging in the DSL AC68U again until it dies and I will not be purchasing any Asus products ever again after this inciedent.
