Router Stats

Afternoon,

Would someone please take a moment to check my router stats.
Just want to know if they seem about right on my long line
Much appreciated

Sorry, should have previewed my post as some figures show 0.0db
here we go

Yep, they look OK for a, as you say, longish line.

Great, thanks

As Zarjaz says, they look reasonably OK. I would suggest you check out the ring wire in your phone master socket though. See this page.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have already done this after looking at your site over the last few weeks, it's been very helpful.
I also had my router on quite a long extension as it wasn't convenient to plug it directly into the Master Socket but when tried it plugged directly in the Master Socket the Downstream speed was 27xx kpbs rather than the 20xx kbps I was getting on the extension.
It may not seem a lot of difference but on what I think is a long line 59db ? (2 miles from exchange by road) I want to get the most I possibly can.

Last weekend I made it convenient to have the router plugged directly into the Master Socket permanently but now whenever I restart the router it always connects at 2264kbps every time.

I have tried an older router this morning and the results are


ADSL firmware version : A2pBT009c1.d17d
Connection mode : ADSL2
Type : Fast
Noise margin (dB) : 11.3
Attenuation (dB) : 61.5
Attainable download rate (kbps) : 3024
ADSL status : Connected [0]

Downstream Upstream
Rate (kbps) 2271 811


Many thanks for your time

Odd that the improvment at the master socket isn't still there.

When you got the 27xx, was that the normal socket on it, or the test socket inside?

Same Socket (Normal) no test socket available, line was installed in 1980
Yeah I thought it strange, is it something that may take some time to appear ?

Nope. Connection speed improvement should be immediate. You have removed the ring wire I hope? Even though it's an old type socket?

You sure it is the master? With the capacitor at the top, like the LJ 2/1A here, not the LJ 2/3A next to it.

I just noticed the noise margin is high. That's the immediate problem. Have you been disconnecting and reconnecting a lot?
