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’ve given up!  I don’t know what else I can do and frankly, I’m fed up trying to get this router to work correctly.  After getting the BT IPTV (Youview) working correctly, (albeit with Plusnet + Youview) setting, I’ve encountered massive issues with 2.4GHz wireless and DHCP; which seems to be a problem that others encountered too.

I have about 30 devices in my home, although I’ve only been trying about 18 Wifi devices and 7 Ethernet connections (Added ports with an unmanned switch).  Everything on Ethernet works just fine.  However, WiFi devices suffer from some or all of the following:

• Very slowly to connect
• Some need to be manually connected every time
• Slow speed
• Intermittent slow speed or ‘pauses’ where it takes 10 seconds or so to work
• Cannot connect at all
• Will only connect after Router is reset.

I’ve tried numerous WiFi settings to try to rectify, I’ve tried beta 583 and stable releases of 503 and 460.  Each time, a full factory reset took place after flashing the firmware.  For a router selling at £250+ on the high street, this is totally unacceptable.  It has too many bugs for me or ‘workarounds’ that are required to get something to work (i.e. Youview IPTV!)

I plugged in my BT Smart Hub 6 last night, not a single issue, not one!  Everything works perfectly.
