I will look in to all your suggestions over the next few days

Ignore my reply to the Anon poster.

The way in my reply to you works. So does the usolicit one from what I read in those threads.

If the infamous "routing problem" is the issue, then the OP ought to try the adsl24 amended firmware and if necessary use DMT to reduce the snr, that's what I've been doing for the past few months and it's been very reliable. Note that I'm using v1.02.16 amended firmware.

Actually for the past few days I've been using a reserve GT with DGTeam firmware to see if the original problem still pertains. Four days so far with no issues, but I'm still reserving judgement.

He are my stats.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Modem
ADSL Firmware Version A2pB023b.d20e
Modem Status Connected
DownStream Connection Speed 23055 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 1377 kbps
==============================================

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 23055 kbps 1377 kbps
Line Attenuation 17.5 db 6.9 db
Noise Margin 3.3 db 4.8 db
==============================================
I cant seem to find the detailed stats within this new modified firmware though.

You'll find them in the same place as the standard stats! All the amended firmware does is add some code to keep the routing alive, it doesn't change anything else, and the attenuation and margin should be similar in both. Just click on 'Router Status'>'Show Statistics'.

Anyway I wish I had that connection speed )-;

The page that I meant was the one that showd the errors like CRC and LOS, over a 24 hour period. In the DGTEAM firmware I think this page is on the diagnostics page.

Ahah! I don't think the Netgear standard firmware supplies that, it's another advantage of the DGTeam firmware. Likewise, the adsl24 amended firmware is based on the standard stuff.

Cool! Thanks for your reply. I will try and see how this firmware performs over the next few days. I did not have and troble this morming when I booted my PC and went to surf the net.

DMT v8.07 will pick up those stats, also let you tweak the margin but not preserve the tweak through a reboot or power-cycle.

Or see this page on my website, specifically the Monitors and Tweakers section and the Netgear CLI stuff. These days I use the CLI tab or experimental tab in DMT as that automatically ensures Netgear "debug" is enabled.

The CLI command for full stats is:-

adslctl info --stats
