Well i will pick mine up tomorrow but just got in and had a call from Sky to say thats my router being posted out for next day delivery lol

I got the same as you spuddy 2304N mac starts C8C.

Mine just came and ive got the same as you 2 guys. As soon as my line trainings over ill be extracting and going straight to my belkin n1, in this house wireless N is a must lol the only thing i wished for and dident get well i mean full N that is the N rated on this is only 75meg max.

EDIT ive got to laugh though the switching from my belkin N1 to the sky router has made my Attenuation go from 35 to 37.5 the scanky things lol

I have a [censored] line, long way from the exchange. The Sagem bumps me from 63 to 69!

Tried switching it over this morning, but was in too much of a rush and it didn't work. I'll retry it over the weekend.

The Sagem is much smaller than my Draytek which makes it easier to hide, but I love all the features of my Draytek.

Just as a side note... I too went 'live' this week (Monday) and was supplied with the D-Link (wireless 'g') modem router and used a little utility to extract the username/password from it and then used them with my own Netgear DGN3500 (wireless 'n') modem router.

Things seem to be working ok and my line is slowly creeping up in speed (think I'm on about 6 megs at the moment) after starting at the usual 4 megs at the start of the training period.

Hopefully all will work out for you guy's... like yourselves, I was sweating on getting my modem router from Sky (took 5 days from the time when they first posted it) in time for my activation date but happily mine arrived in time.... having said that, it got used for all of 3 minutes... just enough time to extract the username/password : - )

Assuming you're talking about db, a lot of routers won't report anything over 63db. It may be that your other router is one of them.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7611 kbps 796 kbps
Line Attenuation 37.5 dB 20.8 dB
Noise Margin 14.9 dB 12.0 dB

That's me at the moment was running at 4095/512 and the atten was 35.0/20.0 last night so its speed is working its way up although so it the atten lol. The noise has gone down loads since last night though is was at 22 lol so well see what happenes over the next few days. The Neighbours all have speeds of between 11.5-14 so if i get 11.5 ill be more than happy.

Hi ... thanks for the info.

Before getting activated, I couldn't make up my mind which would be the best option to follow... i.e use the supplied D-Link router supplied by Sky for the training period or not but the clincher for me was (besides the D-Link being only 'g' wireless and standard 10/100 LAN ports) that I was informed that if the D-Link had it's firmware updated (once I was activated), that the utilty to extract the username/password would most likley not work.

In the end, I connected up the D-Link and used the username/password extractor program right away and tried it in my Netgear DGN3500.

As soon as I'd established it was working, I thought I'd give it a try and see how it went, but, I was getting a bit jumpy as after two days, it did not appear like the 'training' period had not started (Sky portal page still not updated to show my line is in training mode!) but then yesterday morning I spotted that the download/upload speed had gone up so I realised that training had indeed started.

Again, this morning speeds have gone up (to just over 6 megs) so I'm going to leave the Netgear hooked up for the training period and see how it goes.

My SNR is set at about 8db at the moment... a bit high I guess but then again, it is the training period so hopefully it should settle back to about 6db?

My line attenuation is normally at about 37db (down) but that too is up a couple of pips at the moment and hovering around 39db

I was given a target download speed of about 4 megs from Sky when I signed up, but my best guess is that they 'artificially' make that a much lower figure than what might be expected (for a number of reasons) but I'm hoping to get at least as much speed from Sky LLU as I did from my previous ISP and that was averaging about 8 megs download.

Early days yet I know, but keeping my fingers crossed the training will keep pushing up my speeds : - )

I was activated on Tuesday but on Tuesday/Wednesday i used my Belkin N1 with my friends username and password. Naughty i no but it didn't seam to kick him off or affect him in any way so did it anyway lol. But i was told on here its always best to use skys router during the training period and then switch to your own router after the 10 days. I was sent one of the sagecom 2304 things that had a partial N thing (75meg max). I managed to get my username and password using the old way on www.cm9.net. so ill put my details into the belkin N1 after the 10 days period.

Ash

Edit Actualy the UN /PW i got off that site dont work in belkin after all lol.

Does any one know how to do it with the sagecoms?

No, I've seen my other above 63db.
