Billion 7800N

[#1]

Dare I ask which operation system you are using that doesn't have 'telnet' built in ?

[#2]

I believe the 7800n supports telnet.

Oh dear, having a senior moment ? 

Reply #14 shows the telnet commands, and the output from a Billion 7800.

[#4]

try 192.168.1.254 for your router, that's the one that works on my billion 7800n

Telnet needs to be specifically enabled on some Windows versions, see here for Windows 7 ...Windows 7 enabling telnet client

Hi I'm on windows 10 if that's any help

[#7]

I'm not a Windows 10 user but the process seems to be pretty similar .. How to enable telnet client Windows 10

[#8]

got the telnet set up ok ( thanks ) in the mean time plusnet have checked the line and done a resync but I've not rebooted the router yet think I'll wait until tomorrow to make sure I can get a good resync fingers crossed thats it done and thanks for all the input

If you would like to plot graphs of your 7800N's performance, you might want to look at running RouterStats-Lite on your PC.

'RouterStats-Lite' should work simply by telling it that you are using a 7800N, and providing the router's username and password.

As the name suggests, it is the 'lite' version of 'RouterStats'.

The fully featured version 'RouterStats', also available from the link above, provides more in-depth monitoring, but takes a bit of effort to configure, and makes extensive use of telnet to retrieve otherwise hidden data.

I couldn't tell you the extent of what 'RouterStats-Lite' displays for the 7800N, because I've only ever used the full 'RouterStats' with my 7800.

one thing I'm trying to work out is part of the report "

Indicative Line Quality:

R "

[#11]

Have a read about "Indicative Line Quality" on @kitz's explanation of  'BT's DLM process'.

Unfortunately I can't see precisely what the "R" status refers to, although my guess would be that is shows "Red" which corresponds to "Poor MBTR/MTBE" i.e. the next action will be "The system will apply a further DLM step to increase stability."

[#12]

yes seems as if it confirms what I always knew ( but can't get anything done about it ) my line is only just usable so it will have to go on until it gives up all together 

[#13]

Do you get better results with your 7800N plugged into the BT 'TEST' socket (behind the faceplate on your MASTER phone socket) ?

[#14]

I have a filter face plate on the master socket which improved the sync

[#15]

Do you have any extension wiring connected to the back of that filtered faceplate ?

Do you know which filtered faceplate you have ?
