Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll just have to be patient and wait and see what happens in the next week or so. I suppose looking on the bright side, at least I'm not getting any disconnections at the moment and there are plenty of other people out there who would love to synch at the rate I'm moaning about!!

It does feel like an age the first time you have to wait for it. After that it doesn't seem noticeable .

If it doesn't do anything by the 16th morning, then try a single reconnection yourself. If that doesn't do it, (as just occasionally the auto-resync doesn't happen even though the setting has been lowered), then it isn't going to happen and you need to go back to chivvying your ISP.

If it does auto-resync though, it will probably do it at night. In which case a single reconnection by you well inside daylight hours should improve the new sync.

Interesting to hear other peoples' similar problems and realise you're not alone.

My ISP obviously picked up on something to suggest completely resetting the router which did work for a couple of days and then a further disconnection swiftly followed by an increase in the SNR. Replaced router back to my old Netgear and my connection has remained stable (9 days) with hardly any errors at all.

If it does turn out to be the TP Link 300 mbps wireless N ADSL2+ modem router which is less than 9 months old, I'm not very impressed. It was great while it was working OK but obviously not very reliable. Will have to look around for a replacement when this all settles down. Another Netgear maybe??

If I'm right then a replacement under warranty? Or would you rather get a refund and try something else?

If I'm wrong, as Lethe thinks, then it still looks like a replacement/refund of the TP-Link to me.

I tried several routers - including buying a new one. All end up the same.

There is something going on with the lines IMHO after this roll out of fibre.

And please remember what I said - no matter how long the router stays in sync, if the DLM stills sees errors, then the next disconnect/resync YOU will be lowered.

Your problem and maggiej's are extremely unlikely to be the same.

Hers is common. Yours almost unique.

The old router seems not to have any issues. Just wait and see what happens please.

Have been patiently monitoring my connection via RouterStats and connection has remained stable . However, after 9 days I notice the PPPoA session dropped for 15 seconds or so with the uptime restarting.. However, as far as I can see from RouterStats there was no disconnection recorded ?? - all graphs logging everything OK, . Was this a 'disconnection' and I'm back to square one??

I ask this as I've heard from my ISP who advise that there is nothing wrong on the line and everything is OK according to the BT speed test. I just want to be pre-armed for any comments they may have to make when I eventually go back to them. I'm assuming that they will say my connection 'disconnected' yesterday. Am I right??

Thanks

That is just the polling interval, so maybe RS didn't 'see' the disconnection.

Say it polls every minute, 1..00,2.00,3.00,4.00 etc. You get at drop at 3.15 and back up at 3.55 - then all RS sees is the measure at 3.00 and 4.00 ~ nothing in between!

Did either or both the connection speed and noise margin on the graph change at the time of the PPPoA loss? What sampling interval do you have set?

Loss of Internet is not uncommon whilst ADSL remains sync'd to the exchange - generally unnoticed unless one is downloading or uploading without a resume function. A very short drop of the internet (not ADSL) is often not registered by the ISP.
