LordOfWar666.First, sorry for my english, i´m from spain.
I moved to DSL-AC52U to DSL-AC88U and the result has been disastrous.
With the AC52U I have a 2.5 upload sync… and now with the AC88U I have 1.8 Upload sync.
How is it possible that the higher model gives me worse results? my idea was to improve performance and I see that I’m wrong, any suggestions?

The Broadcom DSL chipset do not usually synch as well (rate) as well as the MediaTeK chipset that is in you DSL-AC52U
But DSL-AC88U should be much more stable, maybe an option to change your SNR values, can you give us a screen copy of your DSL Settings page? so we can see what is happening?
Is Annex M (ADSL2+ M) your normal choice for your ISP in Spain, I also remember reading that in the early days, another user (babis3g) had issues with ADSL and the DSL-AC88U, I will drop him an email and see if he can advise ?

Is it possible to tweak SNR manually even on the DSL-AC88U?
I thought you can´t do it on Broadcom chipset.

It is on my DSL-AC88U, ASUS have always said, for ADSL, SNR Tweaking is available, for VDSL, it is not. unsure about Annex M, but assume it still applies like ADSL
Have a look under Administration > DSL Settings > Stability Adjustment (ADSL) ;)

The SNR only change the downtream chanel. What is the best model based on the MediaTeK chipset?

Both the DSl-AC52 and DSL-AC56U have the same MediaTeK DSL chipset, but the DSL-AC56U does have more RAM and is a good little unit.
Was you given a modem with your ISP service, what does the stats on this read?
Alas the Broadcom 63138 DSL chipset for ADSL is not ideal, maybe worth looking at an older Broadcom based modem/router?
For testing, try Annex A, just out of interest, I know in theory, Annex M should have more Upload Synch speed, but worth testing, ?

I have the ISP modem and the synchronization is better than the AC88U (2.4mb) but is worse than the AC52U (2.5/2.6MB) on the other hand I tested the AC88U router with annex a and the synchronization is 1mb on the upload chanel.

I assume the download Synch speed increased with Annex B, is Upload Synch speed being higher more important than download?
Let us know what name of ISP Modem name is, so I can check what DSL chipset is has?

The router of my ISP is the Comtrend AR 5307U, for me is more important the upload than download I prefer 2.5mb of upload and 10mb of download than 25 MB of download and 2 of upload.
Thanks.

The Comtrend AR5307U also has a MediaTeK chipset, so looks like in your part of the world, for highest upload synch speed (Annex M) , MediaTeK chipset suits your needs best.
I personnaly use Lantiq based DSL chipset, but they, like Broadcom, will not synch as at a higher rate compared to MediaTeK, but are very stable.
Looks like DSL-AC56 is a wise upgrade, for you

Thanks a loot, My next buy is the DSL-AC56U.
PD: It´s sad, I love the AC88U and I have heard wonders of the broadcom chipsets, but 30% less of performance is too much for me.
