Re: Download Speed

iam using the netgear dmt version but to log into the netgear dg834g i have use special login.
does the thompson version have this special login option?.
if not i would think looking on your router setup pages to create a username and password would allow dmt to login o.k
also is the ip address dmt is set to use the same as the one you use to login into your router 192.168.1.254

Re: Download Speed

The Plusnet ones use username admin and password admin from memory
Regarding the new stats - did you change the filter or disconnect the router. I am trying to find if it resynched all by itself

Does this help
Quote from: Jameseh
Gleneagles - When you first set up your router, it probably asked you to choose a username and password.  You will need to enter those details in order to access your routers configuration panel.
Otherwise, if you do a factory reset on your router, it will be:
username: admin
password: admin
You'll need to reconfigure the router though.
Alternatively - if you didn't set one up and that doesn't work try username Administrator  pasword blank (i.e. there isn't one)
Note that the username and passwords are case sensitive

Re: Download Speed

Checking further I think that the latest firmware blocks all the diagnostics.
Have you tried the quiet line test.
If you don't hear any noise then the only thing to do is start the fault reporting system http://faults.plus.net/
As part of this the test includes monitoring the error rate so it may pick up something. We can only try.

Re: Download Speed

that tells us that you have a regular but intermittent connection problem
This wouldn't show up on a fixed speed line as it would always reconnect at 2000kbps approx.
If you want to make the monitoring easier you can change the frequency and the number of points. See this picture from the full version of routerstats - i would imagine the lite version is similar
The first picture shows the configuration button and the second the graph button with the bit you change
Is there anything happening in your house at those times - the phone ringing for example

Re: Download Speed

confirm it is the same on lite version.
capture the graphs to folder and you will be able to see if the ferquency of the noise spikes are in line with somthing turning on ie central heating switching on/off.
edit: looking at you last post seems you got the graph capture sorted all ready

before connecting DMT open the mic options and tick the box marked  ' allow untested firmware' save config and then connect. Smiley
