DSL-AC68U on Merlin / CLI commans

[lmg80]

Hi – I have the above mentioned router on Firmware Version:384.17_0-gnuton1

I’m trying to affect my maxDataRate, but the CLI is not working, please can someone help?

I’m connected to my router via Putty 192.168.1.1, followed by telnet 169.254.0.1.

I get to the tc> on the command prompt and tried the below commands, but I get “……..:not found”

xdslcmd configure –maxDataRate 60000 15000 100000

xdslctl configure –maxDataRate 60000 15000 100000

bcm_xdslctl configure –maxDataRate 60000 15000 100000

Welcome, is your DSL-AC68U plugged into a DSL line and working currently ?

Try using LAN port 4 first to see if you can gain access, ?

Edit: I forgot to ask, the DSL-AC68U has a troublesome Modem (MediaTeK) and G.inp for instance is not supported by BT (Plusnet) when using the DSL-AC68U –  so lower synch rates etc ?

Thank you for taking your time to reply.

Yes, I currently have an up/downlink.

Excuse my ignorance ‘lan port 4’; is this the telnet/ssh port I define in the UI, currently default 23?

 

Or you mean the lan port back ‘4’ on the router my PC is connected too?

 

Edit: pc connected to LAN port 4, same thing :(

Does the putty cmd connect to router (192.168.1.1) and can you login (authenticate) etc?

I then enter ‘telnet 169.254.0.1’ admin /password – land here (this is where I am entering the commands)

Entering character mode
Escape character is ‘^]’.

I am being a little slow, these are Broadcom based CMDS and the DSL-AC68U uses a MediaTeK DSL Chipset

I will dig out my DSL-AC68U tonight and find the cmds you need ;-)

I’ve tried these, that whilst they are accepted, they do not actually do anything – unless they should be preceded by a save, or reboot?

wan dmt2 set snrmoffset xx xx (snr tweak)
wan dmt2 set path x (0-2 channel profile fast interleaved)
wan adsl reset

wan vdsl2 set target_snrm xx (snr tweak vdsl2)
wan vdsl2 set max_ds_rate xx (something about data rate)
wan vdsl2 set manual_pms on/off (something about channel profile)
wan vdsl2 set inpdelay_pms xx (same ^)
wan vdsl2 set tcm_tx on/off (idk)
wan vdsl2 set tcm_rx on/off (idk)

try the below, I have also dropped ASUS an email and they say it cannot be done, so am a little miffed by what they said ?

wan vdsl2 set max_ds_rate ‘value’  (value = kbps ÷  8) 80000kbps ÷  8  then value  input = 10000

Trick is I do not think this will survive a reboot and does not work on ADSL connections I believe
