I guess provided the info over 2 post with the same scenarios. Without internet I have had to resort to doing this on my phone which ISC proving difficult. Maybe the easiest thing is if you can tell my what info would help for a specific scenario (eg. Master socket or extension ) and I can reply with them?

Thanks
Lee.

All I'm after is the set of Upstream speed, NM & Attenuation at the same time.

Link (or timestamp) me to where you've already posted them. I don't think you have.

Ok. For the 3 scenarios I have

Master socket 1
Upstream : 1193
Nm : 6.3
Att : 29.5

Master socket after reboot
Upstream : 1197
Nm : 6.9
Att : 29.5

Ideal location
Upstream : 1204
Nm: 6.1
Att: 27.5

Thanks

Lee.

There's something wrong there! I don't think you are reporting back correctly.

Quite honestly, at present I'm not bothered by the different scenarios. There is no real significant diff between them.

Are you saying that your router only shows one figure for both Down & Up against NM & Attn? There should be separate figures for Down & Up.

Or are you saying that your router does show separate figures for Down & Up, but they just happen to be equal?

A typical router would say:

Downstream Upstream
Data Rate (kbps) 12403 1020
Noise Margin (dB) 5.5 12.3
Attenuation (dB) 30.6 16.4

Hi,

Unfortunately, on the router's information page it only provides one value for each, This post shows the complete list of information the info screen provides.

To consolidate the information for the master socket scenario I have....

Noise margin (dB) : 6.3
Attenuation (dB) : 29.5
Attainable download rate (kbps) : 7487

Downstream Upstream
Rate (kbps) 7127 1193

Hi,

I have been doing some more troubleshooting with a bizzare turn of events.

I connected an old Dlink ADSL router and configured it with my Orange information. Magically it worked first time (and as it happens on one of the extension sockets). The ADSL data is a bit more informative on the d-link and came in at....
Upstream rate - 1056
Downstream rate - 5888
US Margin - 7
DS Margin - 3 (now moved to 4)
Los Error - 0
DS Line Att - 30
US line Att - 31.

Now for the bizzare bit....

I then disconected my old router, replaced it with the livebox and magically it connected first time!!! Very bizzare.

Livebox now gives the following stats

Noise margin (dB) : 6.2
Attenuation (dB) : 27.5
Attainable download rate (kbps) : 6744

Downstream Upstream
Rate (kbps) 6596 1212

Any ideas what is going on?

thanks

Lee.

Livebox may be getting confused talking to the DSLAM and showing exchange kit another modem helps to sort out the miss communication

Does this mean there is something wrong with the livebox or the exchange?

Thanks
Lee.

Impossible to say which, oddities with DSL hardware are hard to second guess without access to logs from both sides and the livebox I don't think has much in the way of these to help.

In reply to a post by leenowell:

DS Line Att - 30
US line Att - 31

Something fishy there! Usually US = 1/2 DS. That's why I was insistent on seeing the Up stats.
