ASUS New DSL-AX82U Modem Router Combo – Wifi 6 ASUS New DSL-AX82U Modem Router Combo / Wifi 6 At long last I am now able to (officially) confirm that ASUS are in the process of releasing there latest addition...

When DSL is not connected there is almost no power used on open circuit of telephone line.
Ofcourse chips still need some energy, but I think not worth to discuss about and not clear whether they can be turned off at all.

I have sent it as feedback.

In the device configuration, there is a significant issue regarding excessive power consumption under certain conditions. When DSL is not being used in the WAN configuration, the DSL signal remains active and consumes energy. I am requesting your support to address this matter. Could you provide an update that includes a DSL disable button or an automatic deactivation based on the WAN configuration? In both dual WAN and single WAN setups, if DSL is not configured under a condition, the DSL signal should be turned off for energy conservation. You should consider that many users utilize this device not only with DSL infrastructure but also with fiber infrastructure or as a secondary network device.

I see that some manufacturers have this option. If it was trivial, they wouldn’t do it. The audio recording I attached in the previous message I took to verify that it sends the “I’m here DSLAM” signal continuously on an empty DSL port.

Yes, but there no current is flowing as there is no line attached and resistance is infinite.
And zero current means zero energy (P = I x R).
So internal chip losses remain.

Your knowledge is probably from youtube.

For crosstalk lines must lay in parallel close together on relevant distance to occour.

Without line connected to the modem there is no antenna inside to emit radiation and characteristic wave impedance is not matched to transmit relevant amount of power.

@Grisu and @black-bird – please keep this chat friendly and helpful

@Grisu – I know you have good intentions and try to be helpful, but comments such as ‘Your knowledge is probably from youtube’ can be considered by some as not nice …

I’ve decided to go back to the DSL-AX82U. It’s currently on offer for £179.99.

I don’t think the all in one solution and wireless range can be beat if you have FTTC or slower.
