Anyone Using an Asus DSL-AC68U

LOL im all for hope and trying to solve issues. Even pointing out previously in this thread when things are not the fault of Asus, but really now as a couple of others had said i think its time just admit defeat.
The device is obviously junk, easily must be the most unreliable VDSL device on the market. No doubt this year they will do an AC2xxx or higher device and people will fall for it and hope all over again
Its now the 3rd longest thread in this section of the forum LOL
I think I reached that conclusion many pages ago and I'm surprised anyone is still trying to get it to work...

4400 errors down on that tweaked firmware, nearly 24 hours after. It's lower than it was but it's far from great.
The dmt olr defer test firmware didn't help. I got a 7000 CRC error spike a second ago 
. Currently on fastpath, will revert to INP 3 delay 8ms and allow DLM to continue seeing my line as 'green' in hope it will eventually remove the 67M downstream banding. I'll keep saying it, but I still think something is not right with the bitswapping somewhere.

I have to hand it to some of you guys for having patience, but if they can't stabalise it in the time they have had so far then there's little doubt they will as it will be coming to the end of it's marketable life soon as new products are released.
Whether or not ASUS have learnt their lesson and admitted defeat with these Mediatek xDSL chipsets is yet to be seen, but saving face and going with either Broadcom or Lantiq or both should really be a major consideration in the design of anything new.

4 days and 8 hours and i have a whopping 3 crs ! looks like a definite improvement for me.

The beta defer seems is only good for broadcom exchanges ( i think i have mentioned)
It works good for me even with my broadcom adsl dslam

With a SNR of 6, attenuation of 17, and a sync rate like that it seems thats all your line can support.
Ok I was bored sitting at home so decided to try the broadcom exchange tweaked firmware as suggested.
Initial startup saw me losing sync by around 6.5Mb.
I then set ESNP to stable and Rx gain to high performance to try maintain my higher sync rate. It gave me a whopping 1Mb more so currently syncing at 68Mb compared to my 74Mb with the HG612.
Edit: Forgot to enable G.Inp so it is now syncing at 71Mb. Better but still not as good as a £20 modem purchased second hand. Laughable really.
I'll need to leave it as is for now due to having 3 resets changing settings so I'll monitor over the next 24hrs. I can use that time to write a for sale thread.

Sounds like you should buy yourself a new BT Openreach Mk3 faceplate, BT have a habit of not installing these for people any more if you with BT due to the self install crap they do now.
If you search for BT Openreach NTE5a Master Socket, MK3 vDSL/ADSL Filter BackBox IDC Tool Genuine on ebay then you can get everything you need to replace your current master socket etc.
