lookforward to your response

And when it is busy there is absolutely nothing happening on your line? You aren't doing any streaming, downloads, etc - everything is turned off to ensure there are no big OS updates or anything running?

correct it looks like my ine is being used indeed ? i must say my new netgear XR500 internet light is constantly flashing busy , when no use is going on its my set up no other people in my flat .
i use echo life modem hg612 bridge mode . lan 1 lan2 is wired in from router to acessHG612
it wouldent work if settings went correct i think there are a lot of logs in neatgear saying failed mail server i will look into that , but im getting my mail on pc also EN wired ,
The flashing internet light doesent look right also the LAN 1 from modem is same flashing constent
but DSL is solid green not a flicker .
thanks for response.

So many things, so much confusion.

Strip things down to the basics, i.e. just one cable to HG612 and turn off the wireless on Netgear.

Ensure all NAS/file sharing/remote admin/emailing of logs is disabled in the router.

A router should not be reporting failed mail server and this suggests its trying to do something, so may be constantly trying to send some email.

To be honest this does look like a local load issue.

hi thanks i agree and agree i like basics routing indeed … i dont use wireless , local load i have no file sharing , going on the log in router is sending a couple server request a minute to a failed smpte outgoing mail server which i must have wrong thought it was just icloud.
dont know what to put in there properly yet .
that wouldn't acount for my of the scale BQM looking worse than virgin media super hub 3 of the scale latenceys i will try your suggestions now im back home

thanks

You could turn off emailing of logs for now. But if you must, its quite complicated using an iCloud email from a non Apple application. Here are the links you will need:

See this page at Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202304

See this page at Netgear: https://kb.netgear.com/29909/Configuring-Email-notif...

For the ICLOUD SMTP server you will need to put smtp.mail.me.com

For the port number you will need to put 587

You will need to tick the box "my server requires authentication" and you will have to enter your email address in the username field (e.g. [email protected]) and in the password box you need to create a specific password on the apple site for this purpose, the instructions here tell you how: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204397

Thanks thats very helpfull i just been on phone with netgear for 2 hours XR500 netduma os
i turned of email for now , but look at my graphs i do have a good isp pulse 8 vdsl2
The internet light on front was mad flashing which indicates a lot of activity hence the BQM charts
we decideded to down grade software to last version hey presto , no mad activity internet light
but securty not so good //
so just done this will have to wait to see BQM display
can somone clarify the BQM i thought it monitors across my BB isp provision my line ,so NOT any equipment on my side of master socket would create the attenuation on this BQM right ?
have a look at this i want a refund.

You might not be using wireless, but have you disabled wireless on the Netgear? Looking at the lights from the front, what are the left three doing? (2.4GHz, 5GHz and Guest).

When you updated the firmware on the modem / router did you reset the configuration to factory defaults and then re-configured them.
Some of the settings might of corrupted when firmware upgraded.
