ASUS DSL-N66U / DSL-AC68U - Information please

[#1]

I know several fellow Plusnet users use the ASUS DSL-N66U, so Im asking if anyone can please advise me what line stats are available from these routers.
If you can let me know whats via the web GUI and also if any more info is available via the CLI that would be great.
TIA

[#2]

Sorry to bump this, but I think it may have got lost amongst the more pressing outage that we had the other night.
Does anyone have any info of what type of line stats you can get please
TIA

[#3]

Are you using it for fibre, or for ADSL?

[#4]

Because I think it is a router only (requiring an external modem) in which case, line stats will be dependant on the connected modem.
EDIT: I'm wrong. The DSL's are of course, modem routers.

[#5]

thank you tony for taking the time to reply

The DSL-N66U is a combined adsl/vdsl modem router.  I believe it has a Media Tek DSL chipset which Im not familiar with,  and I wanted to know how much info they give the EU.

Its the RT-N66U which is router only and still needs the BT Openreach modem to work on FTTC.

ETA
Just seen you twigged yourself at the same time I was posting.

[#6]

here are some images that should speak for itself. i have tried telnet my knowledge is limited and did not have any success.

[#7]

cheers redbull thats most kind of you.  The info Im looking for is particularly if it displays data about the vdsl connection stats.
Im not familiar with its GUI (read I know nada), but I guess what Im looking for may perhaps be found under something like system log -> DSL log -> Link status
.. and if it contains anything more comprehensive than this... which is more aimed at adsl rather than vdsl diagnostics

[#8]

Tried adsl info --show ?

[#9]

ok, i have just updated my firmware on my router. and i just had a home move completed today. here is a copy paste of a vdsl connection

[#10]

Thank you so very much redbull, thats brilliant.

[#11]

if you have any telnet commands you want me to use let me know what they are.

[#12]

Please post screenshot DSL log -> Link status!

[#13]

I am having this ASUS DSL-AC68U tomorrow. Collected it from pcworld as it cost me only £119.99 (saving £40 off with my pcworld voucher)
@redbull2k14 why did u tick VDSL Profile under 30a multi mode on your screenshot above as Plusnet FTTC is on the 17a multi mode at the moment as BTw FTTC doesnt have profile 30a at present?

[#14]

Kitz here is my old screenshot Asus DSL-N66U VDSL stat

[#15]

im not sure why. is it best to have 17a?
