How on earth could I get mine down to 3 db?

I'm assuming any speed changes would take a few days to come into affect due to the exchange, is that right?

I don't understand this, it seems to be making no difference to Sync whatsoever and the change in regards to the NM is no different

:confused:

Looking back a couple of threads I thought you mentioned looking for best online price yesterday (Billion 7800?) so I'm a bit confused.

What router are you trying to tweak and with what software/method?

It should be 33% [ =100 * ((0.3 - 0.7) / 0.6 + 1) ] but your router doesn't seem to be operating on the same scale

EDIT: Got the wrong formula 1st time round.

Are you rebooting router immediately before trying to set NM?

I received the Billion 7800n today, so i'm tweaking that... Do you understand?

The lowest I can get the SNR Margin(Downstream) is 5.6, no matter what value I enter

Rebboting the router immediatly before setting the NR? The router resyncs with the exchange once I change the SNR Value, why reboot before changing the value?

I just cant seem to get it lower than 5.6 for some odd reason and setting it to 1 should bring it down around the 3db mark but for some reason it doesn't...

Blimey that was fast delivery!

I'm sure the many 7800n users here will be able to help you out...

I was supprised also, but they delivered at 10am this morning

Hoping to get to the bottom of this, it's doing my nut in.... LoL

Well setting to 1 gives me 5.6 and setting to 25 gives me 5.6... mhhhhhhhh

Odd thought - does Sky LLU work differently
i.e. you can't change it
