They did yes, as I can see the speed is lower and snr is higher than where it settles at once dlm has done it’s thing. Had the sky router plugged in initially and swapped it over to the asus in order to leave it alone for dlm to complete. On the swapover it did the same thing (quite a bit lower synch) so just waiting to see where dlm settles now when left alone a few days, although i’m expecting it to be the same as the figures are the same as the last time they did a dlm reset for me.  Will see in a few days though but seems the asus just isn’t particularly happy (maybe because of it being sogea, as it was happy beforehand).

It was to do with some leftover config when my line moved from standard FTTC to a sogea line some time back. They didn’t disconnect the ‘e side‘ portion that was now not necessary, the cabinet wasn’t handling it properly or something so they disconnected it.  Didn’t help this particular issue though

Not by default, i’ve had to enlist assistance via both Sky and Openreach who were here yesterday to dig out more information.  There was another issue on my line by which even the Sky router wasn’t 100% happy that they needed to resolve at the cabinet. But the lower sync issue with the Asus remained afterwards which the sky router does not exhibit, they were able to dig out some more stats from the openreach end for when that was plugged in.

 

thanks for assistance on this. It would be nice to get this back working as it used to, as there seem to be little to no other options for wifi 6 modem routers. All other routers seem to require an external modem.

It seems with this the main difference is that INP-REIN value. When I plug in the Asus, it gets a value of 1 on downstream and syncs lower. This does not happen on the Sky router.

I wonder why it is the Asus gets the INP-REIN value and other routers don’t?

The issues seemed to coincide with updating to the latest official version, so the prior one 3.0.0.4.386.49608 would have been the better version.

However, i’ve now tried going to both latest 388 and earlier 386 with a factory reset and it didn’t seem to improve. Plugging the Sky router in immediatelty boosted the speeds back up and no errors.

I am stumped now, it’s almost as if the cabinet just does not like this asus router.

Sure thing I don’t intend on messing around with it any further as I’ve sort of run out of things to try now

it had been up for about 2 months with these issues before I started swapping it over etc to get to the bottom of it.

In honesty things were solid until I went to the current latest firmware months ago and it all started going downhill then. Frustratingly reverting to the prior fw from mid last year didn’t resolve it however it’s like there was some stuff still hanging around.

Q1. when you plug is you Sky SR203 hub, do you use the same DSL cable as used for DSL-AX82U.

Yes, came cable

Q2. do you switch of the DSL-AX82U nightly

No

Q3. do you make many changes to the DSL-AX82U as this can impact synch rate overtime.

No, until issues cropped up a while back I would not touch it, except for updating firmware

Q4, Are DSL-AX82U and SR203 hub in same location in you home ?

yes

Q5. when was last time a full factory reset was carried out ?

On this unit I haven’t done one, as I not long had it replaced thinking it could be a physical issue with the router. So this unit is about a week or so old

Q6. are you running the latest firmware for the DSL-AX82U ?

Not currently, it was until this morning when I reverted back to the previous version to see if it made much difference. Same issues on this version, current one, and also gnutons current version.

thanks

I do get CRCs etc over the course of the day, the prior screenshots the router had not been up long. Here’s a fresh one now it’s been up a few hours and you can see CRC, ES etc errors have occured.  These don’t occur on the Sky one.  Would have thought in this case it would be a hw fault with the asus, but have recently replaced that. The sky one does support ginp too

 

Also am paying for the 80/20 package although am about 800m from the cabinet so not expecting full speeds. Seems very odd though that the sky one should sync so much higher.

SRA is enabled here but only just turned that on to see if it made a difference (it didn’t), was previously off

Sure I have attached some screenshots.
Weirdly it’s not just the sync speed that is lower but it is also the max attainable, when the sky router is on the max attainable and the sync speed is about 64mbps.

 

Also interesting is that in this screenshot the asus one has been plugged back in for about half an hour and there is 7305 FEC errors.  With the sky one it has roughly 750 per 15minutes, or roughly 1500 over the same time frame so quite a lot less.  I’ve been getting a fair few CRC, ES, SES errors during the course of the day with the Asus but difficult to know when as it’s not constant all day.

 

Sky sky one is the SR203

Over the past 14 hours

FEC: 1447

HEC: 0

CRC: 6

ES: 4

SES: 0

 

I think these stats are pretty good? Just seems really odd that their tester reads a lot higher (and that wasn’t even directly into the socket, they tested via the dsl cable by plugging the end that is in the ASUS into their tester) and the old isp router also synced higher, just this ASUS one seems to be struggling a bit

I’ve been having some strange issues with this router since the last update and I can’t help but think it’s the new dsl driver in the latest version.

My speed has been slowly decreasing over time, currently synced at 54mbps.  I had openreach over to check the line and they confirmed when they plug their tester into the dsl cable they get 64mbps, so something to do with the  router.

I plugged in an old ISP router I had buried away, and that synced at almost 63.

I guess I will try and go back to the old firmware and see what happens.  In the current release notes it says it uses the new driver ‘by default’, is it possible to select to use the old driver whilst keeping the new firmware then?  I’d like to not lose the other enhancements in the current version.

Just wondering what’s everyones thoughts on running Merlin on the DSL-AX82U?  I note there is an offshoot that supports the DSL version.  Worth it?

It seems this issue with 5ghz was client related and not the router at all … I saw a suggestion to disable ‘wake on magic packet’ and ‘wake on pattern match’ in the interfaces settings and strangely it seems to have fixed it, no strange latency issues for about a day now. Fingers crossed!

I’ve noticed with this router that my ping times if I ping the local router IP are all over the place, veer between 1ms and 500ms.

I am using a wifi 6 network adapter, don’t have any other local wifi networks to compete on the same channel (although I have tried changing channel).

 

On the 5ghz band which has the issues (2.4ghz does not, pings 1ms consistently), I have manually set it to 80mhz width, disabled universal beamforming (ax beamforming and ofdma/ax mu-mimo are enabled but don’t make a difference to the latency issues if turned off)

Are there any other settings that might be giving me such latency issues on 5ghz?
