Hello,

I’ve always have connections problems due to the distance between my home and the central.
I’ve already have a Linksys WRT54GL who’s working fine. I’m currently using a thomson speedtouch 510 as modem.

There is my connection information:
Code:

Uptime:   0 days, 7:41:16
Modulation:   G.DMT Annex A [POTS Overlay Mode]
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]:   512 / 4.096
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [MB/MB]:   3,06 / 1,48
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]:   12,0 / 18,5
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]:   22,0 / 39,0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:   23,0 / 17,5
Vendor ID (Local/Remote):   ALCB / ALCB
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote):   0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote):   14 / 2
Loss of Power (Local/Remote):   0 / 0
Loss of Link (Remote):   14
Error Seconds (Local/Remote):   9.149 / 556
FEC Errors (Up/Down):   0 / 0
CRC Errors (Up/Down):   0 / 256
HEC Errors (Up/Down):   0 / 161


I wonder which modem, can I buy to avoid connection problem?
Is there router which include router than can easily be flashed with dd-wrt?

All that my ISP suggests to me is to reduce my synchronisation profile... (I’m for Belgium and still not having ADSL2 or so, still in basic ADSL for a while I think).

For now I synchronized to 4.096/ 512, and they suggest: 3.300/ 384 or 2.000/512, what doesn’t please me.

Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks for your help !

DD-WRT has not been ported to devices with built-in ADSL modem, nor does DD-WRT include packages to support this.

Changing the modem will probably not help anything at all. Your problem is that the noise on your line, and the distance.

Depending on your telco and the infrastructure, remember that DSL is sensitive to interference and crosstalk, and to worsen it all, DSL create a certain amount of this too. So if the copper cables (landline) from the DSLAM to your modem are of older date, then this will weaken the signal.
If we furthermore add the longer distance, this will in itself give a weaker signal.

All you can do, is check your phone cabling at your end. If your landline is longer than needed, shorten it. Keep it separated from power cables, antenna cables and other cables which can induce interference.

Almost like to good old 56Kbps modem dates.

I've already done those...

The electric installation is a bit like piece of shit in my house and I don’t know how to fix it without changing the entire cabling…

I’ve heart than Belgacom (national operator) goes out a new modem “B-BOX’ :
http://www.belgacom.be/private/fr/jsp/dynamic/product.jsp?dcrName=hbs_b_box .

That should avoid lose of signal, but I don’t want to go back to those thief with their 10Go of monthly quota. (Now 25Go but still not enough).

Thanks anyway…

How can they guarantee this? And what would the result be, packet losses while retraining?

What should it change ?
I was thinking about a Linksys AM200 ?

It's a new type of multiplexing I think...
They have sold this to the father of my girlfriend...
I don't know anything else...

I don't know what this normally is, but that appears huge to me. If that is your problem, another modem might not assist.

Could you describe how you are hooked up to your ISP, from your router to your connection with them. You use a wired modem, I take it?
