OK this is my first ADSL connection, and I've alreadt created another thread about making my modem and router get along well together.
However, I think there is something wrong with the DSL signal coming into my house. When I have the modem and phone connected up together using a filter, the modem frequently loses the DSL signal. Without the filter, it is just about 100% stable. However, the connection speed is very poor.
These are the stats I'm getting from my Linksys AM200 modem.
DSL Status: UP
DSL Modulation Mode: Auto
DSL Path Mode: FAST
Downstream Rate: 4448 Kbps
Upstream Rate: 448 Kbps
Downstream Margin: 2 db
Upstream Margin: 23 db
Downstream Line Attenuation: 51
Upstream Line Attenuation: 58
Downstream Transmit Power: 18
Upstream Transmit Power: 11
LOS Errors: 0
A friend has said that the Downstream margin is pitifully low, the upstream is really high, and that the Line Attenuation figures shouldn't be so high either.
These figures mean nothing to me really, so can anyone elaborate on what they signify?
TIA,
Michael.
EDIT - It just disconnected me, even with the modem plugged directly into the master phone socket in the house.
