I recently checked my Speedtouch 510 router (Latest firmware) and noticed that some of the stats seem to be in the critical levels where the router should barely be able to synch according to resources found on the internet. Here are the stats:
Output Power (dBm) up/down = 12.0 / 15.5
Attenuation (dB) up/down = 31.5 / 55.0
Noise Margin (dB) up/down = 15.0 / 6.5
Should the Noise Margin be above 20dB for a stable, error free connection? I'm fairly sure that 6dB is the absolute minimum before serious errors begin to occur. I also read that 60dB on the Attenuation is the maximum before serious errors occur (Which it has reached before I moved the router to the master socket). My internet connection has been going at roughly 50-60kbps which is extremely slow compared to the normal speeds I usually have. I have already done isolation tests, checked all filters are properly installed and tested the router on the master BT socket. Do you guys think this is a line fault?
EDIT: Also is there any way to check distance from my house to the exchange, NOT as the crow flies. I already know that. I mean the cable length from here to the exchange. Cheers.
