@Iggy82 – ASUS have asked me to ask you if you would be kind enough to try build578, they understand this release has memory loss issues, but wished to understand if PlusNet / YouView worked also like it does with 583.
Because they are in a continuous development regime, it is sometimes hard to go back to far for particular issues to be resolved, and is for their benefit, so helps all DSL user etc ;)

Yes, just spoke with ASUS and they have there fingers crossed for build 527 and No memory issues

Just be careful about the OPEN Ports etc.

Yes, this release had FW issues, If you have a moment, go to http://WWW.GRC.com (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2) and select the All Ports Option, I suggest this as this firmware version (at the time) had ports set to closed, but not stealthed, so could be a potential security concern you need to be aware off?

If you do get one from fleabay, just be careful in that you purchase one with a UK plug (Not one that has a two pin plug that then plugs into a three pin UK Adaptor, there are a lot of Chinese RT-AC86u that have issues with English language options, especially when you factory reset router etc?

Enjoy ;-)

Still awaiting feedback from ASUS regarding 527, but glad you have tried newer firmware’s and at least YouView is working

1. Go to UI (User Interface) Network Map, on the Right Hand Side is Status, and Memory Usage should be shown in a graph there (My DSL-AC88U is not plugged in, so I am guessing a little)
2. Problem has been going for a few months, but they are on the case, so hopefully next month or so for a fix ?
3. Trouble is with this option, finding another unit (modem/router) combo that provides the same options, only TP-Link and Netgear units spring to mind and some models are better than others

Thought so, alas the XR500 has fantastic QoS and great with the Geo Filter etc, but from a settings perspective, is the same as most other Netgear Routers, ;-(

I like your avatar ;-), would be interesting to see the difference if AiProtection was ON ?

Understood, then you are at a crossroads, either Memory Loss or No Youview ;-)

I understand 527 was suggested by some users and ASUS, I am just waiting feedback from another user to see if this has any improvements and will let you know ?

@gigios – 1 Mb, that sound very good and usage does fluctuate a little based on usage of router/wifi etc. is AiProtection enabled by any chance?

Welcome, The DSL-AC88U is a troublesome unit at the moment, the only firmware that is stable is 503, newer releases have memory leak issues and crash every few days., likewise, firmware 503, does have DHCP issues etc, so is by no means perfect.

The ASUS QiS for BT does not work, you have to use the PlusNet Option + YouView and enter BT credentials and then all should be OK, this is an issue ASUS are aware off, but are focused on Memory issues currently.

Hi @Bully, not sure what you mean, are you asking if you can access modem from behind the Netgear XR500, if that is what you mean, then NO ?

If not then WAN IP addresses are issued by ISP, and not advisable to change

Have you brought the XR500 ?

@darkblak – When a Passed this information to ASUS, they said Thank You etc and will look at details,

@gigios – What memory usage are you currently using ? It is interesting that it takes 3 – 4 days to run out of memory,
