Yes I do have fibre, I saw something about Asus Qis settings but I don't know to find it or use it.

Re: ASUS DSL-AC68U Settings

@zephyr4  Just a quick check, the title of the thread says DSL-AC68U but your opening post says DSL-AC88U is that a typo? Which model are you actually getting as they are very different. 

The ASUS  DSL-AC68U has a very bad reputation with possibly the worst VDSL2 modem chipset ever (manufactured by Mediatek). It does not work well with the BT Openreach line management system (DLM) leading to various problems such as high error rates giving lower speeds, connections dropping and your line ending up banded, that is capped at a low speed.☹️

Personally I would not even connect it to my line so it is entirely up to you if you decide to use it but I would be sending it back.

On the other hand the DSL-AC88U has the preferred Broadcom modem chipset and is an excellent modem/router.😊
