Hi. On the 7800n if you navigate to http://{normal ip address of router}/snr.cgi this enables you to do a tweak. Be careful of the values you put in here. I saw a table at the Spaldwick village site telling you how to tweak it, but I never tried...http://www.spaldwick.com/broadband/billion-7800n

I have a 7800n but it is currently being trained on ADSL2+, so it would be pointless for me to quote figures from it..

Any line under around 40db Attenuation is nice and short to me




You're also lucky not to have to worry about BT's crazy line management!

The OP was asking if you could alter the SNR through the software on the 7700N which you can't

Depends on what you mean by software. You can't yet seem to do it from the built in web server on the 7700n, but you can do it from the built in telnet server. And it survives a reboot if you've saved your adsl profile.

I do someting like this:

telnet 192.168.1.254
adsl configure --snr 30
adsl config --save
quit

Now, there might well be a hidden web page which allows this instead of telnet. I've just not found it yet

So for example, and thanks gyre and all the other's for the advice, but what I was thinking is my line is currently set at an SNR of 9dB because our current router keeps resetting so it increased it. And Im gonna get it to 6dB using my contact in BT, would it hold as the SNR usually drops to 3dB in the evening.

If you're saying that with your current router, your line drops from 9dB to 3dB in the evening... that's a pretty huge drop.

I've seen 2 or 3dB, but not usually 6dB of drop.

If you already have a 7700N, you can experiment for yourself before your BT contact gives you a target snr margin of 6dB, by tweaking it during the day using telnet until you get 6dB, then leaving it and checking periodically what the margin is in the evening.

On my line, I have a target snr margin of 9dB, I've tweaked it down to about 5.5dB and it hasn't dropped below 4.5dB yet at any time of the day. But then, everybody's lines are different.

-- gyre --

On my line because our Business Hub is faulty, (the lightning did it! ) it keeps resetting and now we have a good line speed, the DLM decided to increase the SNR to 9dB I used to get a sync of 2692 and now I only get just over 2100.

Sorry, brain faster than fingers. Try:

adsl profile --save

Do you know how to set annex-l via telnet?

it seems if you save the profile after setting the snr value it re-enables all the other modulation types.
