After 4 days it rebooted and resynced straightaway however it then constantly started disconnecting and reconnecting so I ran through the quick setup again and it went great for the next 3 days. This time going through quick setup again hasn't resolved. It constantly lost dsl connection and resynced and has probably shot my line profile to pieces. It just wasn't settling at all. Reflashing the firmware has not resolved any issues either.
In the end I had to plug the old openreach modem in and use the ASUS as a router so that I could get a usable internet connection.
As I say I went through the quick setup to set the device up. The wan settings are attached (wan & wan2). Also attached is the check confirming the latest firmware. I've also attached the dsl settings. I don't know if they change if you change from using the vdsl connection natively or attached via a secondary modem as it is now. From looking at the settings they look familiar.
Is there anything in any of that looks it might cause issues? Would like to make this work if I can as it was fantastic when it was working.

OK in terms of settings, I can only make suggestions in relation to it being used as a modem/router combo, I have never used it as just a router.
Please see attached what what works for me.
In addition, my firmware version is identical except for the end mine 0.2 and you have 0.1. Everything else is identical
I hope this helps.

Looking at your settings there are a couple of differences from mine, so I have decided to try yours (no problems with mine at 75 down), but why not?

I'm going to go the website and redownload. If that leaves me on the same version and you advise that you got your firmware update from within the device then I think the next thing is to downgrade the firmware to an older version just so I can get the device to prompt the update.
I note that my vdsl profile is 30a as is @AShPowell however @Manatary is on 17a however given both of you are stable on those two different profiles it's probably not significant but something I can play with if I get desperate.
I was definitely getting a better sync on this device. My IP Profile has just increased by 2 meg and that doesn't surprise as I noticed that my sync was 64 something when my BT Profile was at 60.8 so it was on the rise. As Plusnet take 24 hours to catch up I'll not what damage all the resets done last night until later tonight/tomorrow morning.

Make sure you reset after updating - the Asus website explains how to do this.
As for the difference between 17a and 30, as far as I am aware BT uses 17a, but the 30 version allows both so will default to whatever you need.

17a is what's used, it's just a setting I haven't changed as like Mantaray said it's compat with both.

Will now try the settings that both of you have to see if they help.

Never get down down CRC errors.
@Andun84 - hopefully the replacement will be better. It is a great bit of kit, I have it linked to my TV to stream HD, my synology box to auto back-up a couple of Macs (over wifi) and to play movies/TV series from as well as numerous items connected via wifi. I get 74 plus via wifi. The 5Ghz works well for me as I am in a flat and there appears to be about million people around me with 2.4, but even this 2.4 is good enough so I don't get knocked out like I used to be.
