What exactly you played with your router to increase SNR ?
Yeah... I don't mind giving reps... if a person has done some work to help others on this forum... I'm always 1st to rep him...
Any1 feels nice to get recognition for his work.... so, in a way its a small appreciation from my side...

thanx for ur rep...

I changed router's mode from ADSL2+ to G.DMT... it worked wonders... downstream rocketed from 9 to 41... u can give it a try too... but if it doesn't work... revert back to ADSL 2+...

Default measure ment of SNR and Line attenuation

how do I measure / check my SNR & line attenuation ?
is some software / hardware required for the same ?

my ADSL comes through Copper cable , joints galore along the way from around a distance for abt 4 -5 km frm the Exchange , after the Dp Pole it goes directly to the splitter and then to the modem (UT Star 300 r2 ) ....

can I know if this would lead to extreme drop isn Signal ? My tel line is faily clear , scratchy only when it rains !

pls advise


thnks

Toolman,

u can log-in the router config. page by typing 192.168.1.1 in internet explorer... it will ask for username & password... Type admin in both fields(its by default)... now a new status page will open... scroll down... there u can see things like snr margin & line attenuation..if ur downstream snr is > 20 then its fine... & line attenuation should be < 20... else get ur line chkd...

hope it helps...

Thnk for the response and I did as directed .... this what wht i was looking for and got
my results as seen on my dsl page is as follows
Snr downstream : 26.8 +/- 2 or 3
Snr Up stream : 18.0 fixed

line attenuation :downstream :37.0 fixed
Up stream : 13.5 fixed

whts is upstream and down stream definations pls ?
I guess my attenuation downstream is not so good and i guess its b'coz my line is scratchy ....

Hey,
my SNR ratio is 12.5 upstream ans 15 downstream. Its on the lower side right??
Attenuation is 15.5 and 8.9. This is supposed to be rally great. Right?

Whats the reason for this i.e good attenuation and bad snr, is it common.
BTW i am getting only about 1.5 mb speed during free time. Is this normal.
