It looks like there is later beta firmware for your router - I'd be tempted to give that a try.
Other than that it's a different router. You may be entitled to a router from Plusnet for just the cost of the postage and packing if you are prepared to commit to staying for a year.

Jelv is indeed correct, you would be eligible for a new router - drop me a PM if you want to discuss it and I'll arrange it for you. It'd be a Thompson 585v7 if you went for the 4 port wireless.

PN sent me one - and replaced it with a D-Link - which is much better - and it works.
I haven't found a router as good as the Netgear from the usability point of view.

Having done everything possible to try and get ADSL2+ working properly I am still getting a, shall we say politely...poor speed. (Can't say the 'c' word for some reason)
I have just bought a brand new router which specifically says on it ADSL2 and ADSL2+ support.
It's a Belkin F5D8635uk4A router. See here for details: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/product/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8635uk4A&scid=314
Having got it all setup and connected to the internet I am still getting the same speeds. Something is seriously wrong here.
Here is the latest connection details:
Type: G992_5_A
Modem Status: Showtime
Downstream Upstream
Data Rate(Kbps) 4679 448
Noise Margin 4.8 19.2
Output power 19.7 12.7
Attenuation 45.7 20.5
Any ideas? Perhaps a speed restriction from PlusNet's end?

If none of the wiring has been altered it seems strange to see a huge attentuation increase on the same line with a different router, no?!
Have you got the latest update for that router?

Yes everything is the same, it's literaly a router change.
The annoying thing is I was connected at around 7200-7300 kbps last night yet today this happens, and with a router which will without a doubt give me the speed I should be getting.
It's the inconsistancy on the line which is really bugging me. One day I can be connected at 7000kbps and the next 4200kbps.
I have changed everything imaginable to get this problem sorted and nothing is working so I am out of ideas now.

I'm intrigued, how did you get this information out of your Belkin? I can't see how to get noise figures out of my N1 Vision.
Thanks in advance

http://192.168.1.1/
Then from there find your system status under 'advanced'. It's one of those tabs. 'Broadband line'
p.s. it might also be 192.168.1.0

I've got a list of orders to place (to remove upstream capping), which doesn't seem to be happening today because the BT system is not playing
@ ihardcastle
You say that the only change to your setup is your router? I don't suppose there's any chance of trying a different one to see if that improves things?
