I doubt that this command will save cap in modem settings. If you type bcm_xdslctl profile –show, it’s actually show current vdsl settings so nothing to do with cap? Most likely type of connection, vectoring, g.inp etc… and these settings you can save with bcm_xdslctl profile–save, but not cap?

December 3, 2019 at 3:08 pm #5184xdslctl profile –save (worth a try)

I assume the other commands work – xdslctl profile [–show] [–save] [–restore] etc.

December 3, 2019 at 5:33 pm #5186Some of the settings showed with command profile– show, can’t be changed so there is no really point to save profile as the one which are needed may not be restored properly, and every time profile is restored it will cause lost of connection, so I personally will avoid those to not upset DLM with frequent disconnections. Maybe is worth to look into case why router need to be rebooted so frequently? If there is a cap in place reboots should be avoided to prove line stability.

December 3, 2019 at 9:37 pm #5189I will dig out my DSL-AC88U tomorrow and have a play with the cmd – “xdslctl profile –save”
Would be interested if it does help @black bird

December 3, 2019 at 9:49 pm #5192There is a possibility on Asus routers with stock firmware to start scripts from attached USB-stick.
Search in SNB forum for RT-AC68U stock firmware USB start script, you should find some threads about it how to do. Will be same on DSL tpyes.

December 3, 2019 at 9:57 pm #5193then it gives the result
/ # bcm_xdslctl profile –save
bcm_xdslctl –save is only supported from Linux404 on ward

I have not found the script_usbmount nvram variable, which I believe you are referring to, in the DSL-AC88U.
I do not know about the jffs2_exec nvram variable.

December 3, 2019 at 10:36 pm #5198Yes I think usbmount is it from this link here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/custom-scripts-and-stock-firmware.44403/
refering to: https://www.securityforrealpeople.com/2014/12/customizing-samba-on-asuswrt-wireless.html

Yes, just tried it myself, and also receive the same message – (is only supported from Linux404 on ward)
But bcm_xdslctl profile –show works correctly

Not sure if all because of fw or could be that broadcom blocked some as well.You need to login in order to vote

That was my thought, I believe Telnet commands are intentionally very limited for these Diagnostic/debug firmware’s.
