I may change out to a draytek modem or something, The DSL-AC88U doesn’t even support BTs IPv6.
Trendy paperweight
Haha yep, and the fact I have two of them… good job the first one was free, but that should have taught me a lesson not to get a new one!
hi chris i just started using the draytek 167 and its super stable but i dont think it got gfast but i think 165 have it my new system is a dream to work with running 167 in modem mode conected to a pfsence appliance to a zyxel switch but if u only got 3 hardwires including ap then u can skip a switch for wifi im using a unifi wifi6ap best upgrade i ever made
Yeah I was just quickly looking at the ones that support G.fast 160+ range seem to and state support for the 900mb down profiles (in my dreams).
I’m currently in the process of setting my network up from scratch again, I’m using the DSL-AC88U as the modem main router with DHCP and then an Asus RT-AX82U as an access point, is this the best way to go about it? I was originally using the WAN port on the 2nd router to LAN 1 on the primary, should I use LAN to LAN instead as it’s a home network and I’d like everything to be on the same connection / to communicate with each other

What are you looking for from you home network, just general internet browsing, streaming, gaming, parental controls, wifi vs ethernet connections etc. and how big is the property ?
and most important question, any budget constraints

What an absolute masterpiece if I do say so myself, haha. This is the basic gist of it. Havent had any coverage issues or bandwidth issues as its just 2 of us here, and its a good job anyway cause the QoS on the DSL-AC88U is…. lacking to say the best.

haha cheers, Yeah its in AP mode running a Merlin fork, forgot to mention that. I’ve got a spool of CAT 6A and connectors on its way tomorrow, and a few meters of Cat 7 just to check it out I’m going to sort things out and buy a proper switch like you mention.
I’ve also just noticed the BT Wholesale checker is available to use again.. This is out of my control by the looks of things if you compare these two images.

Right now at this moment reliable connection and FTTP please, haha..
If only
As you only have a few months before FTTP etc, I totally understand no point in purchasing kit for short term usage.
When you do finally get FTTP, the DSL-AC88U could be replaced by the RT-AX82U, would that cause any issues with Wifi from a central location ?
With current set-up, your Gaming will be laggy as hell, as you say, DSL-AC88U QoS is rubbish and ideally QoS needs to be established from where the DSL-AC88U currently resides , via RT-AX82U or simular.
Note: I am no expert, but I believe once Broadband speeds exceed 400 Mbps, then QoS is no longer needed and Using ASUS AP rather than AiMesh means you have less options available for AP, (Guest wifi etc)
So maybe an option if wifi signal strength is an issue to purchase a second ASUS RT router when FTTP arrives and bin the DSL-AC88U.
Nice diagrams @Chris and @torment

Diplomacy usually yields the greater rewards, enjoy your HH
When you speak with BT next, don’t worry about the throughput – concentrate on the disconnects as this when fixed (hopefully) will encourage DLM to increase synch rate over time !

It’ll be delivered today with a Zyxel Switch. Just waiting on a crimping tool to come as well and looks like I’ll have a busy day ahead. I’m still going to run the HH I think for a short time and then contact bt again to arrange an engineer.
Definitely the best option to get underlying issue fixed
DrayTeK , very reliable
