Yeah sadly the reboot schedule isn’t the best option because these firmwares are very unstable, unusable really.

If it is still within three years, you are still in warranty, might be worth it to contact them to see if they are willing to return and refund it, I contacted them 2 years ago while it was still in the 3 years warranty and after a few weeks of trying to solve these issues, I told them that I read on multiple forums that this router was considered EOL by Asus and they are refunding anyone who asks for it and they confirmed it and asked me for the purchase receipt and asked me to ship it back to the NL(??), I refused in the end because shipping it was like 75 euros back then (living in Egypt and they were very strict that I handle all costs associated with returning it back) and they would refund me 178 euros which is what I paid for it on amazon.de for the router only (without shipping and without customs, much more expensive when added) after it arrives there.

 

Hopefully you can decipher this mess of text xD

There is a reboot scheduler.

 

But I recommend going back to v1.10.05 build503 which is the most stable.

It is not worth dealing with the hassle of having no internet connection randomly in the middle of the day and a non responsive router page and you have to manually go and restart (very annoying when not home)

Only Build 591 I have that supports Telnet for the DSL-AC88U, do you want the Telnet Firmware ?

Yes please.

Just changed it, how helpful is this ? :D

What I meant by the DHCP bug is that the whole modem becomes inaccessible, can’t navigate to it with the browser and every device connected to it basically loses internet connection.

Is the support for this unit dead ?

ASUS have not released a firmware update for 18 months, no feedback from ASUS to the general public and its customers. FYI – On the Whirlpool forum, an ASUS Supplier/Rep/employee (Jack) when asked many times on that forum regarding DSL-AC88U and DSL-AC3100 never ever ever ever ever ever (you get the idea) responds, but he does respond to other ASUS question. R.I.P.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, it is really sad that this is happening…

Hi UK Sentinel, As per some other user requests would it be possible to share a firmware with telnet/ssh enabled please? I have the latest DSL-AC88U (a device I regret purchasing) firmware. Thank you.

I regret buying it too :( Will be stuck with it for a few years to come too…

What are you guys doing with the telnet firmware ?

Also any tips on having this unit randomly stop running because of DHCP bug ? It is not reliable at all, like I’n only using it as a WAN device, otherwise I would have to restart it every few days and tank my DSL speed.

Edit: DHCP bug happens whether on WAN or DSL mode.
