I have received the same build from ASUS.
I have started now the new test but without reset the settings because I’m not at home to reinitialize all the parameters with the correct values. But I hope that this is not a problem.

Memory usage is looking good/stable so far, after a day or so. maybe worth turning on AiProtection etc. to see if this makes a difference ;)

October 2, 2018 at 8:53 pm #995For this night I stay with the current configuration, to have more ‘statistics’.
Tomorrow after I will try to switch on the AiProtection (for me it’s the first time I switched on the AiProtection, in the past I used only the Parental Control for a Time Schedule and the Web History backup on USB key).
For the moment seems a good firmware for the memory management.

October 3, 2018 at 6:41 am #1000After more than 18 hours the memory seems very stable!
Now I have started the test with AiProtection ON, Web History ON with the backup on USB key every hour.
The memory allocation is a 16% greater than the previous value (56%).
My feeling is that the big memory problem should be fixed! And this is a good news.

thanks for update, yes others are also reporting a initial positive result regarding memory usage, will be interesting to see if AiProtection/USB usage is also managed well by the routers memory ?

October 3, 2018 at 11:04 am #1004After +/- 6 hours the memory seems very stable also with AiProtection, Web History and backup on USB. Also others people confirms these data. This is, finally, a good and stable version!

Memory usage is still looking consistent, even with AiProtection enabled ;)

October 4, 2018 at 1:07 pm #1014Yes! I confirm the stability of the memory.
This is the last, with this build, memory report :)

October 4, 2018 at 6:32 pm #1018How’s the WiFi stability and performance? That was my last problem before I sold it.
I’ve just had this router returned to me since I sold it on eBay because the buyer was not happy with the WiFi range – ridiculous! He thought the extra antenna’s would give a better range and decided to return it when it didn’t perform as he expected.
I think I’m going to be stuck with this router forever!

October 4, 2018 at 7:18 pm #1020The latest beta585 has removed memory leak issue and so far, wifi has improved from a stability perspective, one user has mentioned it has improved, but likewise, thE DSL-AC88U still does not support MU-MIMO etc, so limited improvements but it at last going in the correct direction.
The fact that a purchaser from ebay has returned the router is ironic, looks like the router and yourself are destined to be together forever ;)

That’s why I’ve not bothered to off-load the 2 I’ve got sat collecting dust here, I hate dealing with non-tech buyers on ebay at the best of times but knowing there’s potential for hassle with the firmware issues alone has stopped me selling on.
I still monitor these threads in the hope one day they’ll create a working firmware.

October 8, 2018 at 5:55 am #1035Good work guys. Thanks for posting your updates.
Any idea when an official release is due? Surely can’t be too long now given the positive feedback…

I will ask them as to when a formal release maybe available?
