Noise Margin Fluctuation

[Steve]

What Rik said  What did you disconnect next to the router for info?

[MarlyM]

Hiya,

I disconnected a Vodafone SureSignal.  Seems that made no difference anyway.

Since mid afternoon there have been a few drops (small and huge!), then just after 5 had a big disconnection, then a resync 800Kbps higher and a fluctuating 8dB NM.

Will continue to monitor.

[MarlyM]

Multiple disconnections today.

At this rate I think I'll be lucky to maintain Sync for 14hrs let alone 14 days!

Will see how it goes.

Not managed to get the 2700 yet.

[Rik]

That may be your best hope.

2 full disconnects and resyncs in the last 13 minutes!

Bah!

Edit 1: Have found a different Netgear to try in the meantime.

Sync is much lower, but maybe it will be more stable.

(Now, where can I get a 2700 quickly!)

Edit 2: Rather strangely, after 2 minutes, the router kept its connection but wouldn't give me any traffic.  Back to the original and I'm away again.  Time to contact some people for a loan router!

[Rik]

Have you checked eBay for anything on offer?

Seems to be a not uncommon trait with some Netgears.

2700 with v5 firmware has been sourced!

So far, 40+ hours stable connection with a Broadcom chipped Netgear DG834G.

Amazing the difference it can make!

And that's also taking into account the wind blowing like a mad thing and it tipping it down for the last 24hrs!

[Lance]

Good to hear. Could you post yours stats from it?

[MarlyM]

Stats from the Netgear or the 2700 when it arrives?
