Billion 7800N SNR tweak query

Hi everyone,

I have just switched to using a Billion 7800N from a Netgear DG834GT and i'm trying to get the SNR tweak to work how i think it should, where am i going wrong?

If i enter the values as quoted on this page:- http://www.spaldwick.com/billion-7800n
eg 65500 as my target noise margin is 15dB currently (mostly due to disconnecting/reconnecting my line)
The router then disconnects the ADSL as expected and resyncs with a lower SNR Margin/Higher connection speed BUT the connection to the ISP doesnt re-login, i have to reboot the router using the "restart" option at the bottom of the page on the main router setup pages before it will do so (it retains the lower SNR Margin/Higher connection speed).

Is this normal?

Using the SNR tweak via Telnet for my DG834GT it didnt require a reboot.

EDIT
I am using firmware 1.05, i know 1.06 is out but not sure it would change anything. Also i reset to factory defaults via the pin hole switch at the back as i bought it 2nd hand and the previous owners details were in there.

I use the 7800n with sky and never had a problem (i use value of 35 which drops the SNR to 3 for me). What ISP do you use?

I am currently on Zen on ADSLMax but moving to XILO (TT reseller) on LLU ADSL2+ in a few weeks.

In reply to a post by InQ:

but moving to XILO

You might want to reset this to defaults when you do so that there are no sync issues after migration

Hi Matt,

Yes will do on the night before otherwise it will try to give me a noise margin of circa 3dB it seems (you use 12dB noise margin as default i think i read?).
(actually using a slightly lower value than 65500 of 65485 as 65500 got me to ~7dB from 15dB and i wanted 6dB to make the sync 8128kbps).

Matt, slightly OT but can the user change between Fastpath and Interleaved or does it need to be done by yourselves?
Also the 12dB noise margin, can a user reduce this "official" target or do yourselves have to set it?

The default is 12db but we can set to 6db.

Interleaving or Fast can only be set by us but is a quick change.
