That's a sore point right now.... PUG are pushing for it to be re-enabled ASAP as it was only meant to be down "temporarily" and it's now been 3 months

"If you are looking for something that works well with Max, then go for something based on the Broadcom 6338 or 6348 chipset (*especially* if you have a long phone line). A good bet would be the Speedtouch 516v6 at about

Just bought a 516 and a 546 from dslsource.
The 546 was v5 and the 516 was upgraded to a 536v6 no charge.
Difference seems to be the version of the broadcom chipset but I noticed that the 516v6 seemed to synch OK at 6.5db SNR (only tested for a couple of hours while I was setting it up for a friend) but the 546 seems to resynch at below 7db due to the large numbers of errors (I have a long line so synch is at about 2,960)

Thanks - you have answered the question I was about to ask :-)

Awaiting a 516 upgraded to a 536 from dslsource and wanted to check that I was still getting the expected Broadcom chipset.

I will report back on performance compared to my Belkin F5D7632-uk4 with the Connexant chipset.

I was on broadbandbuyer site and no 516v6 there ( ineed multiple ethernet prots)

assumed 546 is superior am I wrong?

dslsource is same.

536 516 single port versions only.

546 multiple port, but worried its not as good chipset.

There will be a CLI manual some where on the net, prolly best to use one of the other 4.3.X cli manualls as they seem to be based on the same code.

thats for the 580, give it a shot might be worth it

and yes they have telnet, well my 580 does and i know my old 530 and 510 v4 did too.
