OK cheers I'll take a look tonight.

Had a good talk to Simon about this the other day. Basically I think it'll be great for early adopters but then get worse as the exchange gets more loaded. That is: until BT then upgrade each exchange again

 

[nathan]

eek, upgrade the exchange again :S

knowing BT, they only upgraded them slightly last time. knowing that they would have to upgrade a year or 2 down the line. Great business thinking by BT as usual.

Goodness i'm potentially on 8192kbps too

But i dont really need it do i?

do i?

My router says nout about atenuation or signal to noise ratio

 

[Phnom_Penh]

what router is it?

 

[FarFarAway]

Its the F5D7630: Wireless ADSL modem router:

I was going to reply to this hours ago, but I forgot . To get to the stats, you'll want to goto http://x.x.x.x/adsl_status_main.stm (put the routers ip instead of the x's).

 

[nathan]

found a page that will explain on where to find the details on certain routers/modems.

hope it helps.

EDIT:

wooops, im such a plank

/me wonders of to find it

here we go

http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/frogstats.htm

@Phnom: That page doesn't load

@nabberuk: Where?

 

[Phnom_Penh]

@Phnom: That page doesn't load

hmm it should work, You sure you put in the right ip?

No offence meant, its an easy mistake to make.

It merely goes to the main login page for my router. There's no info there

 

[Phnom_Penh]

ok. Try logging into the router, then going to that page.

 

[nathan]

it may be a different firmware version, resulting in belkin renaming all the pages.

Belkin F5D7630

The Belkin F5D7630 wireless router has a hidden page which allows you to access your line stats:

[nathan]

So your downstream attenuation is: 34db

Downstream noise margin is: 25db

and finally your line speed is: 2272

The site that was posted gives you the following results;

A crude estimate of what your line is capable of is 8192kbps (kilo bits per second).

looks all good

Sweet thanks for the help lads

[nathan]

no worries, anytime

Ohhh.... though I doubt somehow that my exchange will be enabled straight away (though I do get 1:1 contention, which is absolute bliss even on 1mb) I'd like to check if my line can handle it, but don't know how to get the stats.

My router is a Belkin F5D8230uk4 (The Pre-N Wireless one).

You must have a different modem or router etc, as the Belkin is only a router and not a modem, so therefore won't give line stats .

 

[Danni]

Duh! So it is /me thwaps self for being stupid.

My modem is a Linksys ADSL2MUE ADSL2 Modem. I have it in bridged mode, so knowing my luck I'll have to change the IP address on my router or something to access it.

Can you help?
