Texas Chipset!

My router reports this- DSLAM Vendor Information Country: {46336} Vendor: {TSTC} Specific: {4101 }. Would I be correct in that DSLM I connect uses a Texas Instruments chipset.

If so would there be in any benefit in matching my router to this and if so could anyone recommend routers?

Yes I believe that is Texas Instruments kit (but there are others [here] that don't agree).

In my experience matching chipsets isn't the answer! See my 'router' link below.
Your best bet would be to post your full line stats so people can see how things are to advise you.

NB. Good to register on TBB so people don't get confused with other anon posts

Possibly depends on how long the line is to the exchange, could you post the router line stats.

I've tried several routers with various chipsets connected to the exchange which has a DSLAM with TSTC chipsets and the "best" for my connection is a router with a Broadcom chipset ..... I'm using a Netgear DG834GT just now.

The downstream attenuation for my long line is around 60dB depending which router is connected.

I think it's TSMC in Taiwan

What's the problem? Speed is about right.

Just looked at your router page I have the same speed touch in the attic, I was advised by BT it was old and might be unreliable, they sent me a HH2 however it would push up attenuation to 45, hence why I ended up with the 2wire.

This is what i was getting back in July-

Something a bit odd going on here. Please can you post the link to what samknows says about your exchange.

Here is the link-

May I ask the need for the exchange details?
