This FW is bad. I can’t enter modem UI via wireless, just stays in loop. I can’t connect 5Ghz directly, i have to click “connect” at least three times, when i launch my pc.

What model is your DSL Router so I can ask ASUS if they have any reported problems with this latest firmware ?

 

same here I am going to revert to latest release. this fw is suck :)

I have dropped the ASUS DSL team an email, to see if they are aware of issues with this beta firmware release 

But it is a beta

DSL-AC51

I know it’s beta but latest official is also bad for 5ghz. (858)

I’m tired of being installed fw, i think all asus users need a stable FW.

@mmtech,  I will ask ASUS when next stable firmware release could be available ? and betas really are only for the brave

So I have spoken with ASUS and…..

• ASUS will look into possible ‘5GHz wifi issues’. (they are no aware of any with DSL-AC51)
• ASUS will look into ‘pppd: Add lcp-echo-adaptive’ option (that is not a Yes or No) it is a maybe as I still need to discuss more with ASUS

So after a further chat with a few staff members back at ASUS, it appears the option to allow lcp-echo-adaptive is already available with the ASUS DSL Range of modem Routers and will be included in the new DSL-AX82U also.

Alas I had not even seen this before so unless you know the commands, it is difficult to understand what options / commands are available ?

So to enable – lcp-echo-adaptive – go to…

Advanced Settings > WAN > Internet Connection > Additional pppd options and enter lcp-echo-adaptive in the dialogue box

I tried it before posting it because I found it on the Internet. I’ve just tried again with no luck, I get the following message:

syslog: unrecognized option ‘lcp-echo-adaptive’

My router is DSL-N16 with the latest stable version 1.1.2.3_858.

Did you set Internet Detection to PPPE Echo ?

Sure. I’ve set it the same way you did.

Thanks for feedback, I will let ASUS know what they think works, does not for DSL-N16

Will be interesting if anybody else has the (syslog: unrecognized option ‘lcp-echo-adaptive’) issue with other ASUS DSL models

I had DSL-AC68U until it broke after 2 years of usage. Its 5 Ghz network was very stable. It’s a rock solid device which you could use without rebooting for months…

Now I have an AC750, it is horrible, 5 Ghz network is mostly invisible, let alone being steady. And its interface is unresponsive if you don’t reboot every other day. No firmware update made an improvement.

Luckily the DSL-AC68U uses a  Broadcom chipset for wifi, so much better but greater cost

So ASUS have contacted me this morning and please see below in reference to ‘lcp-echo-adaptive’

——–

only DSL-AC68U and DSL-AX82U support this option but not other DSL models.

All RT models supports lcp-echo-adaptive .

This option would be supported at the next release of DSL models.

——-

We got there in the end and  glad the ‘lcp-echo-adaptive’ option will be available on all ASUS DSL models going forward

Thanks! That was fast! I’ll let you know how it works once it’s released.
