ADSL2+ again (sorry)

Marksfish · Oct 12, 2009, 20:48:37

It has been a while since my last post and tbh, I gave up with my 2wire because it became unreliable and I went back to my Belkin. Today I have moved from a MAX connection to a LLU 2+ supported connection. My first synch was 3072 (up from my previous 2272) with a 9db snr. I have had many disconnects since the initial connect, and my synch is now down to 2496 at 8.9db. I have asked support if the line can be stabilised and they have suggested making the router connect at ADSL2 and not 2+. I have worked my way through all the manuals I have and can't find a way to do this. Is it possible at all or will the router automatically give up and decide to try a ADSL2 connection?

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

I wonder if this might help?

Hi Simon, thanks, but no it doesn't.

My Belkin isn't ADSL2 compatible so I have to use my 2wire now. It is the 2wire that is continually dropping on a 2+ connection. Support have suggested dropping it to connect on 2. I have seen the last thread back in July about this where it was decided it isn't possible. I was hoping in the last few months, someone may have found a way to do it?

Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Belkin because the 2-Wire was unreliable.

Anyhow, although I have a 2-Wire myself, I don't know how you would perform the change you want to, but check back later, as others may be along with more help.

Just re- read my original post and it wasn't very clear, sorry

.

I knew what I meant though

No problem.

I don't believe it's possible on the 2Wire to force it to connect as ADSL2, rather than 2+, but I could be wrong. The only router I know of that will do that (though I'm sure there are others) is the SpeedTouch 585v7 (possibly the v6 does as well).

Yes, apparently someone elsewith my isp on a long line has come to that conclusion too

. The next decision is do I ask them to change it to ADSL2 at the DSLAM?

Thing is, it is fine during the day, but becomes a pig at night. I wonder if I could get them to set the snr instead? It trundles along fine at 9db, but starts to drop at around 8.7db. It was fine on my old BT max connection down to 6db. Bummer

Sorry Mark, can't help at all with this.

You change it on the router,not familiar with this aspect of the 2wire though. Protocol G992.3 I believe.

I don't have much to add, other than to confirm that the Speedtouch 585v6 will connect at either, too.

It sounds like there are some new frequencies being used that are affected at night. You could ask for your target SNRM to be raised manually...
