ADSL Modem/Router Stats

DVDMAN

Can someone please interpret my stats from my modem/router, I’ve pasted them below. The problem is that my DSL light drops and flashes sometimes. I live 5/6km from my local exchange and have recently upgraded from 1mb to 2mb. Before The 1mb worked perfectly. Any explanation or insight would be a great help

I'm not an expert but your attenuation (which indicates your distance from the exchange) is very high. And now that your modem is syncing at a higher speed the line has probably become unstable. Try contacting your isp and see what they say but you might better going back to 1Mb.
