I'm looking for some help with my DSL-AC68U and BT Infinity 2. I bought this router to replace an aging RT-N56U and Draytek Vigor 120 in advance of getting Infinity. Infinity 2 was installed in January and my connection has been stable since, until the most recent firmware update last week.

I'm upgraded to 3.0.0.4.378_5007 last week and my connection has switched to Interleaved and the down sync has gone from 80Mbps to 62Mbps. Although we've been having some evening slow down issues, I think they're unrelated to the sync drop.

There are a lot of settings in the DSL Setting page, most of which I know nothing about. Does anyone have a complete list of stable but fast DSL settings for BT Infinity 2 please?

It sounds like you need to set ESNP to 'stable'. This solved the stability problems on VDSL2 for me (which caused DLM to use interleaving), especially when I briefly overrode DLM (and the DSLAM) by setting fastpath on the modem's operating system. DLM is slowly restoring my connection's speed and getting closer to fastpath.

G.INP should also be enabled.

After a few weeks DLM should restore your connection's speed gradually and eventually return you to fastpath.

Thanks Ixel.

I've set those. I'll sit back and see where we end up.

Looks like that firmware version is buggy!

[Ixel]

Hmm, is working fine here. Might be an isolated incident with a handful of connections.

[SpaceCoyote]

I think the issue is the connection detection. Hopefully tweaking the DSL settings will sort it.

TLDR; I have the DSL-AC68U and it is not detecting a DSL link.

Hi All,
 
My HH5 recently died and I got a replacement from BT but decided to get a new router anyway and got the DSL-AC68U.
 
 However the router is not detecting that a DSL cable / link is connected.
 
I have tried multiple different settings including username, WAN mode, DSL mode everything I could find online but I am simply not getting a DSL link.
 
I have tested the router at a friends house, although the circumstances are different as they're using a different provider and are not on a Fibre Optic connection - they still got a DSL link almost right away.
 
At this point I'm kind of stuck as to what could be causing this behaviour and would appreciate any advice.  Also if anyone else has this same router with BT Infinity 1, I'd like to know how it has been physically set up?  I.e.
 
Wall Socket > Standard Microfilter (Phone line and DSL sockets) > DSL Cable > Router
 
I ask because the router also comes with a separate microfilter that is 3 DSL sockets, 1 on one side labelled "LINE" and two on the other labelled "PHONE" and "DSL".
 
 
Thank you,

I had exactly the same question only a couple of weeks ago.

If you look back to page 21 of this thread you will see my question. Take a look and it should be fairly straightforward to set up but basically you sound like you are missing VLAN101 in your config.

Any probs report back here

[SpaceCoyote]

Those connection tweaks are looking like they've done the job. Modem reconnected overnight and now I'm back on Fastpath and a down sync of 73999.

Hopefully over the next few days/week It'll be back to max.

Thanks for the help guys.

EDIT: Hmmm, my IP profile has been zapped down to 60.67 Mbps. Hopefully that will start training upwards again too.

[Chrysalis]

the ip profile doesnt train, its auto updated on every ppp connect.

Thanks Carcuscrae, but unfortunately that doesn't seemed to have helped.  I am simply not detecting a DSL link no matter what I do.  Here are my settings:

Does anything look out of place?

[Ixel]

Have you tried setting annex mode to A/I/J/L/M? I'm pretty sure B doesn't work there. It's actually A which does. Mine's on A/I/J/L/M. It's confused as there's two annexes, I can't recall how it works but ASUS didn't specify that clearly. Someone here I'm sure will remind everyone of what I'm talking about hopefully.

[carcuscrae]

The only differences I can see between my settings and yours are ....

1. As Ixel says set Annex to A/I/J/L/M and i'm using auto-sync
2. I have a password of BT

If it still doesn't work after that then i'm not sure what to say. I assume your DSL works fine with the replacement BT HH5?

[Slazanger]

Is anyone experiencing problems with download speeds when using this router ?

I get this on the Ac68U

and this on the HH5

I've tried multiple settings and seem to be syncing fine, just getting slow throughput for some reason...



Ideas ?

[Al1264]

I'd only observe that 697 CRC errors seems a lot for 4-1/2 minutes of connection (though I don't know if that's enough to seriously affect throughput), does the HH5 show CRC errors for comparison?
It would be best to test each to the same server for consistency.
