Need 100kbps

ste_bla · 14 Jun 2011 at 21:53

Live in the sticks and on aDSL from adsl24 and 99% of time sync @ 5600 which means I get 4.5 IP Profile. However am I right in thinking if I get it above 5696 I get a 5meg profile?

If so which router should I upgrade to as currently on a 5yr old DG834G. The router is plugged into main socket with a BT branded DSL filter.

Any ideas what to do/change?

Current Stats;

Code:

                     Up              Down
Speed             5600 kbps        448 kbps
Line Att           42  db         12.5 db
Noise Margin        7  db           24 db

Could be you need to update the firmware to get ADSL2+ support on the modem side, the 448kbps upload speed suggests your still on ADSLMAX connection and not a ADSL2/2+

No adsl2 I believe, just normal ADSL

Use a program called "RouterStats", to set you're SN to 3 or 4 DB less than you have now, easy to do with the DG834GT.

DMT (Tool) 8.07 can also do that with the 834 - however unlike teh DGTeam firmware you have to do it manually every time the router restarts.

I'll have a look at them when home tonight would prefer to not put on diff firmware unless needed and seeing it currently has 700 odd hours up time not that big deal do now and then!

I would double check with your service provider because with the 42db loss you have you should easy top the 6000kbps download and 800kbps upload with ADSL2/2+ so you are on a ADSLMAX connection.

I meant "no" as in there is nothing more than bog standard adslmax at exchange, not that I do already have it...
