Yes, I'm happy to disagree with you. In the context of the particular router I've been discussing - namely, the Netgear DG834v4, using Netgear's latest firmware v5.01.14 - there are no Trellis or Bitswap states or values made directly available in its Web GUI. And even telnetting into this router from either Windows or from DMT, the only information on Trellis returned is its binary state - that is, whether...

Bought this product this week. I got interested when I saw its (currently) unique spec: N, Gigbit, ADSL 2+ and Annex M, simultaneous WAN etc. It's chipset also has a reputation for being fast if you are close to your exchange (which I am). I bought it because Billion's in country co-ordinator got their far east technical support to answer my "how to" questions within 24 hours - good service is increasingly...

nm it was my fault. i'd upgraded to the official 1.0.1.58 firmware and it turns out they're buggy. downgraded to 1.0.1.54, as this is known to be stable. bingo, d/l and u/l throughput fine again. funny thing, really. i've had dodgy D-Link kit and dodgy Linksys kit, and both are big-brand vendors. the bargain basement Origo/Safecom router I bought has worked flawlessly for years. don't always get what you...

you sure it was the v5 and not the v6? the v5 had no 6.1.4.3 fw released for it. It was the primary reason I brought the 585v6 so I could get the (at the time) famous highly regarded 6.1.4.3 fw. If I remember correctly 6.1.4.7 was the closest release the 546v5 had and not long after that speedtouch stopped making fw for the v5 altogether, it had DMT restrictions as well as a unstable bitswapping algorithm. Oh I will also post my observation...

Hi Why not get a 1GByte switch, this will effortlessly handle the internal traffic, and then also connect to the switch your existing router for routing out to the Internet. The offloading of traffic may make it less prone to problems and if not, you have a wider choice of ADSL routers as you don't need a Gigabyte switch on it. I don't think any domestic ADSL router could be ...

Ok I'll sort this one out for myself as no replies lol. I have tried the bt business hub, that loses sync a couple of times in the evening, the dg834gt with the snr tweaked from 9 to 6db achieves a similar sync rate but the snr can go to 4db, webpages seem to take longer to load, although this does maintain the connection when playing cod online i can jump about the maps from time to time....

Bad form to reply to my own post, but since no one had the answers i thought i should post back now that i've had a chance to play with the router. 1) This router does NOT have static DHCP. This lack is a bit baffling considering some of the other features would be simplified by its inclusion. 2) QOS is also not present. 3) The router DOES support the scheduling features i ...

Figured I'd reply with what I've spent the evening learning ^^ It sounds like the best product for the job is the DrayTek Vigor 120, a true PPPoA to PPPoE bridge. I'd then use the Linux box to handle authentication to my ISP with PPPoE. Has anyone had any experience with this modem? It's a little more than I was hoping to spend, especially as I'm also looking for a PCI / PCI-e ...

I'm not sure inbound QoS really makes sense for ADSL. By the time packets reach your router, where it can apply QoS, the data has already been transferred over the ADSL line and soaked up your bandwidth so it's too late. I'd be happy to be corrected by anyone who has better information though.
