| 1159086 | 2010-12-13 05:53:00 | My RT1280 from orcon goes thermonuclear. I put a 6'' fan on it, that shut it up and stopped it burning a hole in the floor. Apparently some of them catch fire |

| 1159087 | 2010-12-13 06:19:00 | No speed issues here. Still 13.33Mbit down. Does ANYONE switch their BB modem off, ever? Except when they need to reboot it, of course... I do, every night. My RT1280 from orcon goes thermonuclear. I put a 6'' fan on it, that shut it up and stopped it burning a hole in the floor. Apparently some of them catch fire Wouldn't surprise me. They run hot, the cheap-ass capacitors start to die, the dead capacitors cause circuit problems, everything runs hotter, the capacitors keep getting worse because of more heat... thermal runaway ensues and something ends up getting toasted. I just replaced all the capacitors in my RTA1320 because 3\5 were bloated and had ESR twenty times higher than they should be. |

| 1159089 | 2010-12-13 09:18:00 | I don't, mine had an uptime of like 200 days... So you're on an ADSL2+ exchange, excellent! You should be able to find the details in your routers ADSL or Line Status page :) |

| 1159090 | 2010-12-13 09:37:00 | looked in the belkin router but cant seem to find anything. nor in the d-link modem hmm |

| 1159091 | 2010-12-13 09:45:00 | Might need to change to an "advanced" view in the router to see it. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1159092 | 2010-12-13 09:55:00 | found it (i think) tem Downstream Upstream Unit SNR Margin 28 13 dB Line Attenuation 4 1 dB Data Rate 7547 944 kbps good? bad? |

| 1159093 | 2010-12-13 19:09:00 | Attenuation Rates: 20bB. and below = Outstanding 20dB-30dB. = Excellent 30dB-40dB. = Very Good 40dB-50dB. = Good 50dB-60dB. = Poor and may experience connectivity issues 60dB. and above = Bad and will experience connectivity issues For S/N Margin Readings: 6dB. or below = Bad and will experience no line synchronization or intermittent synchronization problems. 7dB-10dB. = Fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions. 11dB-20dB. = Good with little or no synchronisation problems 20dB-28dB. = Excellent 29dB. or above = Outstanding Basically, your connection is pretty damn solid. Because you're on an ADSL2+ exchange, you ought to reach your max line speeds pretty much all the time. What speeds do you get when you do a speedtest.net within NZ, or to Aus? DemonHunter, Did you end up getting the AM300 in the end? |

| 1159094 | 2010-12-13 19:19:00 | J (The level 2 guy seems to have sorted the problem - introduces some 'noise' to stabilise the connection. Noise. Stabilises. Since when? |
