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.
Does make life simpler and the DSL stats you can see are always handy

Decided to put in the DSL-AX82U last night. Found a potential loophole for speeds. My BT limits are:
I know for a fact that my upload was capped around 10 as I did alot the past few months. That was on a Billion 8800NL modem and eero setup.
The Asus DSL seems to just ignore this limit for some reason. I’m getting about 50 Mbps download and 18 Mbps upload now even with cake configured.

I’m so confused what they have done. My package does say Fibre 2 but then my upload was always 10 Mbps before. The billion is a totally dumb modem so you can’t access anything in modem mode.
I think maybe they haven’t changed anything but since my Billion has been connected for literally months it’s never resynced at the higher rate. I might plug it in later to see but for now I’m relatively happy.
I have also set up a BQM just to see.
The red is when I flashed merlin and configured cake. See if it helps with spikes.

You above stats does seem to support that you are on BT Fibre 2.
Billion are usually good little units and work well, but glad the ASUS DSL-AX82U is giving you the Synch rate/speeds you are paying for
Plugging back in the Billion at some point would be interesting to see what stats are reported .

Must have just been a sync problem I put the Billion back in and I’m getting the same upload now. Kind of wish I had an outage so it resynched higher but oh well.

What happened to ASUS DSL-AX82U support website ??? https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/modem-routers/all-series/dsl-ax82u/helpdesk_bios/?model2Name=DSL-AX82U
it’s been for a week, it’s not existing at all
The same with DSL-AC68VG Modem Router with no updates for years and no website or info exists at all.
https://www.asus.com/au/supportonly/dsl-ac68vg/helpdesk_bios/?model2Name=DSL-AC68VG
Or is it a usual manner from Asus, max 2 years to support Modem models and then drpop it with no updates whatsoever, it’s very disgusting from them.

For the DSL-AX82U it is not End of Life (EoL).
The DSL-AC68VG is EoL and is like the DSL-AC88U which was not a success for ASUS
When I go to the ASUS support site I get the below, so assume they are updating website etc.
I will touch base with ASUS if you like to see when it will be working again ?

I checked this morning and the ‘Support’ tab option is back for https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/modem-routers/all-series/dsl-ax82u/ for the DSL-AX82U
But not yet showing for https://www.asus.com/uk/networking-iot-servers/modem-routers/all-series/dsl-ax82u/
Hopefully just a dB replication / mirroring delay
