Got your Co-Ords way off there Sharkman, you need to post Line stats, Provider and Any other info that might help. Not going to answer unless this is there, as per your

sig.

You will need to access the router, just tell us which model you have and we will tell you the steps

Is this what you mean :

Downstream Upstream
Firewall Disabled
Data Rate(Kbps)
5120 512
NAT Enabled
Noise margin (dB)
17.1 14.0
UPnP Enabled
Output power (dBm)
1.8 19.3
Attenuation (dB)
40.0 24.0

You'll get a max of between 8 and 9 megs.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but would my stats indicate that I could recieve anything higher than 8MB. When my line maxs out it regularly goes passed 8MB and then settles down.

DSL Noise Margin: Down 6.3 dB / Up 22.0 dB
DSL Attenuation: Down 39.5 dB / Up 19.9 dB
DSL Transmit Power: Down 0.0 dBm / Up 12.6 dBm

You'd get about the same for that attenuation.

Ah, so no point in trying for anything higher than 8MB so.

I've got a Netgear Wireless ADSL Firewall Router DG834G

Where do I get these stats in it? I can't for the life of me find them.

Thanks

Your noise margin is on the low side? Do you get frequent disconnects?

Port Status TxPkts RxPkts Collisions Tx B/s Rx B/s Up Time

Any of these be what I'm looking for?

Look for attenuation or SNR/noise margin.

Last few days I've been getting a few, but not normally many.

The other important part is who is your ISP and is it a LLU exchange, Smart use ADSL2+ and can get far more out of your line than the other ISPs as they also sync you at a higher speed to allow for protocol overhead so you get the advertised speed if the line can take it.
