| 1350158 | 2013-07-29 10:22:00 | So for the past week or so my internet connection has become extremely unstable . Sometimes I get a disconnect every few hours, other times it keeps dropping every few minutes . I'm on a Linksys WAG120N . Upgraded firmware, factory resets . Lowered MTU . Everything I could . This is what my log looks like . Mon, 2013-07-29 11:00:24 - LCP down . Mon, 2013-07-29 11:00:28 - Terminating on signal 15 . Mon, 2013-07-29 11:00:28 - LCP down . Mon, 2013-07-29 11:00:30 - Connection terminated . Mon, 2013-07-29 11:00:30 - Connect time 11 . 4 minutes . --- DSL Information --- DSL Driver Version: 3 . 4 . 4 . 10 . 0 . 1 DSL VPI/VCI: 0/100 DSL Status: Up DSL Mode: ADSL2+ DSL Channel: 0 DSL Upstream Rate: 1272 kbps DSL Downstream Rate: 15757 kbps Down up DSL Noise Margin: 123 dB 122 dB DSL Attenuation: 10 dB 69 dB DSL Transmit Power: -380 dBm -405 dBm Do these numbers look good? I don't think it is the filters, because I removed phone/sky having only the router connected to the phone line . |

Can you get hold of another modem to test with? Well the modem hasn't given me any issues over the past 4 years now. Although it gets extremely hot. I might have a crappy telecom provided Thompson somewhere, had a look for it today couldn't find it. But that was so terrible I had connect it to a much older router to have stable Wi-Fi connection which forced me to buy this one. What's a good router these days? |

| 1350161 | 2013-07-29 11:52:00 | If you've got 4 years out of it, you've done very well. The Asus DSL-N12U is pretty decent for an All In One that won't break the bank. |

| 1350162 | 2013-07-29 12:24:00 | ^^ Pretty much sums it up. I'm amazed it lasted you 4 years. The DrayTek DV2760 is good if you're looking to future-proof with VDSL2, or the DV2710Ne if you're after something that's cheaper and JUST for ADSL2+ The DSL-N12U isn't *too* bad, but I've found a few things with it lately that really bug me.

| 1350163 | 2013-07-29 13:10:00 | Hum. I don't need VDSL. I'd like to spend no more than $150 - would the N12U be the best on this list for given price? www.computerlounge.co.nz We have a lot of devices: TV, PS3, 2 phones, iPad, 3 laptops and a desktop. And probably another TV soon. |

| 1350164 | 2013-07-29 21:17:00 | Wouldn't it be a good idea to ring your ISP before jumping to the conclusion that a new modem will fix things? | linw (53) | ||
| 1350165 | 2013-07-29 21:21:00 | It depends what features are important to you. The DSL-N series are very solid imo, and if the DrayTek is out of budget, that's what I'd go for. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1350166 | 2013-07-29 21:42:00 | Yep for under $150 (well under $150 actually) it's what I would go for too. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1350167 | 2013-07-29 21:44:00 | Those signal to noise figures seem totally bogus, 123 DB ?? I don't think that's even possible, is there a decimal point missing? (every 3 DB = half the power. a 12 DB margin is a signal 16 times stronger than the background noise). Did this happen before or after the firmware update? +1 for talking to your ISP first, if nothing else they can eliminate any obvious line fault |
