Help me config my custom router on BE plz

The first option should be multimode, or if you want G.992.5 (unless you're on Pro, in which case Annex M).
You don't really need to touch the rest - they'll work as they are.
 
Those settings are going to make no difference if he's already connected succesfully and is getting random disconnects...

Especially looking at his sync speed - he's already sync'd in ADSL2+ mode.

edit: I'd also consider asking Be to switch your line to fastpath if they haven't already done so. By default it's on interleave but many get better performance and stability with fastpath.

That's the point. Welcome to a rate adaptive service, where your line runs as fast as it can and any fluctuation will result in disconnection. The OP asked for the correct settings - if the modem's losing sync, the first step should be making sure it's plugged into the master socket with extensions filtered.

The OP hasn't made clear whether the disconnections are the result of the modem losing sync, and changing to fastpath will only make any errors worse...
 
I'm aware of how the service works... I was previously quite active on ADSLguide for UKO and Be and was a BeKeeper on the Be forum before I had too much RL stuff going on to keep up with it all.

The OP indeed hasn't gone into detail about those things (and I'll freely admit that I should've asked about that), however, increasing the target SNR margin is very likely to improve stability...and fastpath on Be in the majority of cases actually improves stability rather than decrease it (unusual, I know).

I agree the first port of call is checking the wiring...but specifying modes on the router will at best do nothing and at worst (if he set it to adsl2+ only) possibly cause problems if the line sync took a nose-dive and the router tried to scale back to adsl2 mode (which it couldn't do if adsl2+ mode was specified as you suggested).

Multimode would leave it to make up it's own mind.

I was specifying the right settings to use by default, rather than to fix any disconnection problem - there's much more information needed before you begin to fix that. If the router's crapping out, the SNR margin wouldn't do anything either (though in fairness, it would make the ADSL side more stable).
Changing most of the settings in there will at best do nothing, and at worst make the connection stop working.

The uptimes in the second screenshot imply the ADSL's been up as long as the rest of the router, so unless the router's recently been restarted it sounds like the router crapping out.
 
I don't think you can really make a judgement based on an uptime of 30 mins. It's quite possible that the OP has rebooted it himself... (no doubt something that will be confirmed either way for us soon enough).

Multimode would indeed let it choose for itself - but you also suggested setting it to adsl2+, which wouldn't.

I agree that more needs to be done before playing with other settings and aside from changing the target SNR I wouldn't recommend playing with anything else on there to most.

Well yeah, that's why I said "unless the router's recently been restarted". We're really plucking at straws without more information...

:shrug: if the connection's that unstable, you've got bigger problems - though dropping to ADSL mode would be retarded at best anyway, given you lose SRA etc.

Actually, I somehow missed you saying 'unless the router has been recently restarted'. Apologies.

Iirc, it won't drop to adsl1 mode, but adsl2. Adsl2 still supports sra/etc unless my memory is misbehaving.
 
To clarify:

I HAD rebooted the router. Because I'd been messing around with the settings to get stable.

I AM on fastpath. Incidentally the connection seemed perfect before the switch although I'd only tested it for a couple of days.

I only have one phone connection point in the entire house and I have a filter on it.

The firmware I am running is - V1.03.25 - DGTeam Rev. 0743 (A2pB023b.d16f)

Most recent stats:

I seem to recall someone saying that you could rewire you phone socket for a better connection I would be willing to do this but bearing in mind I DO use my landline phone on the same socket.

Cheers,

Don't know if this info is important, but I'm 200 yards from my exchange.
