I've got a lot of CRC and HEC errors on my line, it drops out at least once a day and usually not until i'm using it although not all the time
Goddamit, i need a new router, whats a good one for BE?
tweakinfreak have u tried the beta4 ubergt firmware? also do you have a link for it?
You have quite a few errors and connection losses on your line. Have you bought anything electrical recently? If you have it may be causing interference with the phone line if it runs close to it.
Have you contacted Be at all?
I'd also say for your connection stats you should be syncing much higher too, at my parents house they sync at 14mb with 38dB. So i'd be expecting at least 16-17Mb from your connection.
There is currently a thread saying about how cutting wires works going on at the moment, have a look at that and see if that helps you. If you have extentions in your house disconnect them and run the router from the master socket to see if you increase the speed.
I have contacted BE they told me to try the master socket.. which i am about to do and said somthing maybe causing interference.. Not sure what tho as i havnt bought anything new that could be causing it..
EDIT Ill post my finding once i have moved my router accross the room to the Master socket..
Thats quite an increase! But i do see one problem and thats your upload speed.
Your upload is usually based in the lower end of the frequency close to where your telephone calls are made so you should be at the full 1.3Mb instead of 800k. So thats where your interference is, contact be and tell them you've gone through the motions of connection to the master socket etc and tell when to run a line test as your upload speed isn't what it should be.
I expect thats the reason for your disconnections, if you look at Loss of Signal and Error Seconds that proves it. I'd expect that you'll be able to get more out of your connection aswell. I'd put it down to bad cabling in the exchange.
For getting internet to all the computers in your house i would suggest something like a wireless repeater but the wireless on the Bebox is quite shocking (normally drops from the max your connection can do to half of what it can do). As some people have done in this thread get a router such as a netgear DG834GT and then think about getting something like a linksys WRT54GL. You can flash the linksys to act as a wireless bridge and connect to your GT over wireless at the master socket while transmitting to the rest of the house. The GL would have to be flashed with custom firmware to do this, it sounds all like a big operation but its well worth it in the end if you need to spread wireless signal around the house.
It sounds like you got your problems sorted but I just wanted to mention I had similar problems but just in Team Fortress 2, luckily there were two threads in the BE Gaming forums where I found a fix. . .i've been getting quite a few disconnects with my Be line and lagging out in games
Sorry to make you work some more but is there any chance you can cast your beady eye on these Be-Box stats pls? I have no idea what any of it means but you seem to be fluent in BeBoxianPost your Bebox stats
This is just the basic BE 8MB package, does everything look normal?
I am thinking of upgrading to 24MB but not sure if its possible.
Thanks in advance![]()
Hi thanks for reply, no I am not doing anything with any 'DMT tool'? Just setup the box a few months ago as per instructionsIf you're lucky then i would expect you to go up to about 11-12Mb but i did notice that you've run something like DMT tool to reduce your downstream SNR, am i correct in that?
No I didn't do that, my main master socket is downstairs next to my front door, a BT engineer ran a cable direct from that to the one extention upstairs. I'm not sure how I would go about linking the Be-Box direct to the master socket as that would mean setting the PC up in the porch kinda next to the hung up jackets and shoesHave you gone through the usual trying at the test socket with no extentions? (i may say this everytime but really its worth it!)
