I am interleaved. BT insisted on that back in 2011. It was at the start of a problem with synch was eventually sorted when BT provided a new line. the following year. My downstream SNR was hard capped at 6 dB at another point in the diagnostic process. This will explain why my synch has never been quite as high as other posters suggest it ought to be.

I was thinking along the same lines, as a matter of interest for comparison are you using the same wireless channel as you were with the ZyXEL?

Yes. It's the same channel. I've just looked at the Amazon reviews of the Technicolor and there are quite a few moans about wireless coverage:

This could be the source of slower throughput but I won't know until I get another router and I doubt I'm hgoing to have time to buy one today. Even if I order online it wouldn't be with me before tomorrow at the earliest

Are you not able to temporarily plug in via a network cable - then you can compare the wireless and wired speed tests.

Good idea I'll dig out my long coil of wire and contect my desktop to the Technicolor later today or sit in the hall with my laptop. There was never a noticable difference working wired or wirelessly with my (now defunct) ZyXEL.

don't think you are

FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 13.255 / 2.246
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 9.688 / 9.089

If interleaved the FEC count would be high (Forward error corrected) and the other two much lower. Most routers make it clearer than your by using "Fast path" etc.

the lack of moveable external antennae doesn't help in that regard

Hi Phil,

You've had me puzzled. Had BT turned it off after making such a fuss? Here's my telnet result and as you can see my line remains interleaved:

I'm not familiar with this router but 'Depth' is to do with interleaving. I think in this:

In reply to a post by ARD:

Depth []: 1 0.00

the '1' means your downstream is Fast Path.

Like the Netgear routers I am familiar with, the:

Channel Mode: Interleaved

refers only to the upstream.

I think I see what you mean. Router reports that the interleave depth is set to 1 and 1 = no interleaving....?
