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).

Anyone know if there was or is issues with SIP passthrough or with VOIP?

Having few strange things happening on outgoing calls but aren’t consistant.

On build 460 for the moment with new modem.

There is no issue with SIP on build 503. The only time I had an issue with SIP was beta 546.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot!

Spoke with ASUS and unfortunately they say they have removed host-uniq field from the next formal release (due next week) but will be included in a later beta, off record I am not aware of any releases where this option worked either but it is at least now on there priority list ;)

Hi UK Sentinel,

I remember you and babis3g from the now defunct Asus support forum.  I searched your profile name and came across this forum.  Great to see you are still around to help and advise.

I have now re-purchased the DSL-AC88U hoping the bug where the wifi died is now fixed.  Had to return the original one due to so many bugs.  I accepted some of it as an early adopter/guinea pig.

Are you able to let me know how to find out on this router whether I am connected to an ECI/Huawei cabinet?  I am pretty sure it is Huawei.

@dodgydrains, thank you and welcome, yes ASUS VIP was a great time and so sad regarding its demise.

With your DSL-AC88U, look under DSL LOG, Under DSL Information Section, there will be section called DSL Information and a category labelled something along the lines of DSL Exchange (DSLAM) which will identify the cabinet you are connecting to as either BROADCOM or INFINEON (or a derivative of that)

Huawei = Broadcom

ECI = INFINEON

Feel free to give us a screen dump of your DSL Log page, so we can all have a look.

Hope that helps?

Thanks @UK Sentinel, it’s Broadcom so looks like it is Huawei.  Screenshot of DSL log attached.  I have just connected the DSL AC88U.  I am running the latest beta build585.

Not really sure the Line Attenuation is being reported correctly.  On all the other modem/routers it is 12.5dB to 12.9dB.  Am I right in saying this is reporting it as 18.5dB?

Yes, yours is showing 18.5 dB for Attenuation for Downstream, I had a chat with both ASUS and Broadcom whilst Alpha testing this unit and Broadcom never shows Upstream Attenuation values, and never will for this chipset ;-(

What other devices are showing a lower Attenuation?

I have used the DSL3782 & HG633, both from TalkTalk.  DSL3782 shows 12.5dB and HG633 shows 12.9dB.  18.5dB seems a bit high compared to the other 2.

The attached system info is with HG633

At the bottom of the Asus DSL log, what do the VDSL band status relate to?

Both of those models are non Broadcom DSL chipset, but yes do agree the variation does seem excessive.

I did notice on your stats, you have the same Interleave Depth for Both Upstream and Downstream, G.INP is only applied in Downstream, so this is odd as is your slightly high Downstream SNR being higher than normal (ideal).

I would leave the unit plugged in for a few days with no reboots and see if the values change?

I also noticed when I had my DL-AC88U plugged in last week, my SNR was higher than expected, but assumed my line was settling in as I have just moved to BT .

Edit: just logged into my DrayTek 130 modem and SNR values are 1 – 2 lower than Broadcom, (DrayTeK 130 modem is Lantiq (Infineon) chipset. so ignore my comments regarding SNR

Thanks, I have an Openreach engineer who is currently checking the line and doing something.

Any ideas what the VDSL band status relates to?

Take a look at below link:

Thanks again, very helpful as usual.

What is the difference between the Line Attenuation under the VDSL band status and the Line Attenuation under the Line status?

Also, are these temps in the attachment normal?

Temps are fine, see link, people worry unnecessarily about these temps, unless you have located CPU on top of Radiator or are physically located in a hot country, Saudi / Australia etc, not to worry, these Chips are not fan cooled so rely of heat plates (conduction) etc.

5 GHz is higher than other values I have seen, but similar to link as below ?

DSL-AC88U CPU Temps

I believe Line Status > Line Attenuation is a value/ratio of the three VDSL Band Status > Line Attenuation values (ish) ;)

Tip: If you don’t need the full wifi range, you can reduce the transmitting power of the 2GHz and 5GHz bands. This will result in lowering the antenna and indirectly, the CPU temp.
