btw, what ISP are you with?
dirtydog said:Increasing the coding gain doesn't necessarily work - I tried it with a Voyager 105 modem (ugh) and while it increased the SNR margin slightly, there were hundreds of CRC errors to go along with it so it was useless.
out of interest, what speed do you get? I have a similar snrDeathwish said:I had a similar situation to you, although I have a BT fitted NTE5. I removed the ring-wire, fitted an XTE-2005 and changed my router to a Speedtouch.
So far i've gone from a really crappy fluctuating SNR to a stable 28dB during the day and 25dB at night.
Speedtouch routers with the Broadcom chipset are good for long, crappy lines. Look for the 516v6. And go here: http://bbs.adslguide.org.uk/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=dslrouter
Lots of infos
You can also run the DMT Tool with the Speedtouch routers: http://www.wark19.eclipse.co.uk/dmt.jpg

smids said:Don't Richdog. The Belkin 7633 and the SpeedTouch's use the same chipset, the Broadcom BCM6348 chipsets. You will get virtually the same stats! The reason you are still connected at that low SNR is because of the good chipset.
I only lose sync at about 3.1dB thanks to mine.
I get that too - usually when I'm running loads of connections to downloads. Very rare for me, but does happen as you say.Richdog said:Ahh really thanks for the heads up mate. There is one problem with this router though... the wireless freezes sometimes, requiring a hard reboot.
im being moved to max on the 1st, so maybe I'll be letting you know firstDeathwish said:Well, im currently on a fixed 512 service (Eclipse Flex500) but now my line is sorted i'll be upgrading to MAX, so i'll let you know!
The DMT Tool estimated about 4Meg which would be great
