I'm using Netgear DG834GTB wireless router on a long rural line. At the moment I am experienceing a low speed download often at 220kbps and my SNR varies between 9db and 14 depending on time of day and other factors.
I think I am experiencing loss of synch/disconnections fairly frequently so wish to monitor my line/connection etc to see when and how often. My router does not seem to log these events as far as I can tell.
Is there a simple (as in simpleton) way I can log my LOS/connections etc.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I can resist everything except temptation.

Yep, looks to me like you've an intermittent connectivity problem. This is from your RADIUS logs:
I'd suggest you try disconnecting everything from your phone line, swapping your filter out and plugging your router into the BT master socket to see if it still happens. More advice can be found here.
Regarding the monitoring, if your router responds to pings and you have a static IP then you could always opt for something like this (they offer free accounts). Strictly speaking it won't monitor your sync rate but will tell you when your Internet connection drops.

Try RouterStats Lite from here - http://www.vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm - if your modem/router is on the list.

If its not in the list for router stats lite, use router stats itself. You will need to set the login details and then highlight the relavent entries on the page displayed but it can be set to work with just about all routers. I've got it working (right now in fact) with my 2-wire 2700HGV which is not on the list of supported routers at all.

Thanks Bob for showing me my connection log, will check it out as advised.
Will have a look at Pingdom but think RouterStats from http://www.vwlowen.co.uk ; will do what I want, thanks Anotherone.
PS. Slightly off topic John's site http://www.vwlowen.co.uk ; is fascinating and well worth a look.
