Anyone Using an Asus DSL-AC68U

ViRuS2k

This is an advisory mail to let you know that G.INP is now enabled for your line with Downstream Sync of 79999kbps ...

Automatic message from MyDSLWebStats

HAHAHAH i love this program :D

If anyone knows anything about modem stats, could anyone tell me if these look ok....

------------------------------------------------
I had a DLM reset yesterday
and when it was reset G.IMP was disabled and upstream had no dely and interleaving was added and my max speed sync`d at 75999

well after 24h DLM has reset me again but this time G.IMP has been reenabled and i have sync`d back at my 79999/19999 speeds with a lot less interleaving :D

now i hope after another 24h or it should reset again and remove interleaving completely :)

P.S i love this HG612 it gives me awesome SNR @ the speeds im getting + it hardly fluctuates LOL

now the pictures :D

Guys, this looks like an amazing feature that another router has
is anyone in contact with ASUS ??????? should get them to check out this link and add support if its possible....

HYBRID VPN.

basiclly it lets you configure a VPN through the router and also lets you set your pc to use a UK VPN or your original IP....

there for you can be gaming on a LOW ping and having everything else on a VPN at the same time, makes gaming fast and other stuff like skype or movies or streaming use what ever GEOLOCATION you want...


another awesome feature is GEOLOCATION FILTERING:

these features would be awesome if possible to add them though i think ASUS has given up on this router.

Very close to giving up trying to get my D-link modem work with this ASUS , another 2 hours of my life wasted tonight :(

Followed instructions above, only info I did not have was to what details to put for WAN IP.

Anyway, unless anyone can see any setting Ive got wrong (photos below), then Im out !!

Right,
Your settings are all messed up.

Your trying to setup the router to connect to the PPOE when infact you should be letting the modem do it.

all you router needs to do is DHCP/NAT/FIREWALL.
and thats it.
your modem should be doing CONNECTION/BRIDGE/IP with NAT/FIREWALL/DHCP disabled.

that way your router is doing the DHCP handling and not the modem.

-----------------------------------------------

Also you need to set the lan on your modem @192.168.1.1 and then setup the router on 192.168.1.2
Set WAN connection Type on router @automatic ip
no authentication, as your modem will be doing it.
LAN to LAN-ip on the router set @192.168.1.2 as your modem will be [email protected]
DHCP mode on your modem should be DISABLED not ENABLED as your router will be doing the DHCP handling


I think that should do it. remember once all that is done
power off your router, then your modem, then power on modem wait until DSL light turns full green then power on your router and wait.

dont forget to disable FIREWALL/NAT/DHCP from your modem as router will be doing all those.

If the modem is doing all the authenticating (username, password etc) do I actually need to set it up us a normal PPoA/PPoE connection (not 'bridge') ?

Wait you are setting up Fibre right ?
if its fibre what ISP are you with.

With me being TalkTalk i dont require username/password to connect it just connects
but if your with a ISP that requires username/password you will have to setup PPOE with username/password on your modem and route / Bridge through from modem to Router.

Here is an example of somebody setting up an HG612 in bridged mode for plusnet, maybe this will help -

http://chevron-2.avatastic.co.uk/index.php/using-an-unlocked-hg612-with-plusnet/

First of all, get a spare HG612 from your on-line marketplace of choice. (BT will get all ****y if you unlock the one they provide).

Unlock using the guide from huawei HG612 hacking

Remove the ptm1.301 WAN connection. This is used by BT to check up on your modem.

Edit the ptm1.101 WAN connection so that it looks like:

WAN Connection – enabled
Service List – INTERNET
Port Binding – LAN1
Connection Mode – Bridge
Bridge Type – PPPoE Bridge
DHCP Transparent Transmission – Disabled
WAN 802.1q – Enabled – VLAN ID: 101
WAN 802.1p – Enabled – VLAN ID: 1
LAN 802.1q – Disabled
LAN 802.1p – Disabled
Connect LAN1 of the modem to the WAN port of your router and you should be good to go.
You can connect LAN2 to your friendly neighbourhood switch and access the modem with your browser / telnet to access line stats.

On the ASUS Router side I would give it a factory reset as all your settings are a mess and then set it up again but this time you need to enable one of your LAN ports as a WAN port, if I remember rightly it was somewhere in the Dual WAN vicinity but I do not have one any more to advise on that part.

Thanks for advice /link :)
 
Anybody else got poor wifi range on the latest firmware ? Mines gone a little flakey of recent. should have left it how it was on one of the sky fix betas as everything was perfect then!
 
Im outta here!

After eleven and a half months of pain with my DSL-AC68U I've finally escaped.

It developed a fault - The LAN and WAN ports both died. Took it back to PC World and they offered to replace it, without even testing it, no questions asked.

They let me swap it for something else, so I went for a Netgear Nighthawk, which I'll pair with my HG612. Always wanted a one box solution, but for now this is more than adequate. Wifi coverage is better now too.

Amazing customer service from PC World. I never thought I'd say that!

Good luck to all those still persevering!
 
PC World has got a lot better from my experience too. Rarely shop there but an online buy recently needed returning (not faulty, i just wasn't impressed with it) and they made it really easy for me to return it at no cost and processed the refund quickly. I was really surprised too based on experiences from a few years ago.
 
I've given up looking at my stats it just panics me lol.

I did a firmware update 2 weeks ago and it has remained connected even with the high CRC down errors.

Not consider getting a Netgear D7000 which is a nighthawk router coupled with a Broadcom modem similar to the HG612. Ive been using one for a few months and it has been flawless.
