I used to wonder about that also, From the DrayTeK 130 user guide, the date and Time can be adjusted from System Maintenance > Date and Time, but as we are running the special BT approved build, this option is not available via the GUI.

When you log on to the DrayTeK 130, it should say ‘User Mode is OFF’, and I have always assumed, this means I is locked down and never found the a way to enable user mode?

I never tried the CD that came with the disk, but I assumed it does nothing extra ?

ASUS have given me the following firmware for the DSL-AC88U, this version has had Broadcom patch 5 removed and ASUS say it fixes Broadcom Memory leak, so have dug out my DSL-AC88U and running this version now, feel free to trial this firmware if you wish, factory reset and build router from scratch (not backup) is advised.

let us know if memory leak is fixed, so I can feed this back to ASUS

DSL-AC88U/ DSL-AC3100 beta non-debug Build583 as follows.

Good news then, How did you become aware of the random disconnects, was this by looking in the logs, or via using the service, and then it not being available for a couple of minutes, the DrayTeK and ASUS logs are more comprehensive, where as the logs for the Netgear D7800 are much more basic.

Either way, just keep an eye on your line stats, to see if over time, the synch speeds changes dramatically ?

Glad I asked, In my view, this is perfectly normal, the DSLAM/Exchange does periodically reset connection with modem device, just to refine connections etc, mine is also every other week, and this is regardless of DSL Chipset, I did at one stage (like you I think) have the DSL-AC68U and this re-sync’d almost every few days.

Does the Synch cause any problems, ie. does this leave router hanging afterwards, if not then I would not worry about this at all ;-)

Is this Random, once a week, every few days?

Just before you do that, when you say you have had the five disconnects, are these every day, or random, I forgot to ask last night ?

You do seem to be having fun, does the DrayTeK at any point say it is in training mode in the UI, if so then I think a call with ISP is needed, to check for line faults, (again) also make sure DrayTek 130 is running firmware 3.8.3 BT

Also maybe worth looking at ASUS router and see if you can do the following, change the settings of the router to enable baby jumbo frames and an MTU of 1508, see if this helps?

Alas a case of trial an error ;-)
