Information required please 'How to reset/reboot the BT FTTC modem'

[#1]

Hi,
I've recently had PlusNet Fibre Unlimited (FTTC) fitted.
For future reference, could someone please tell me the correct method to reset/reboot the BT Openreach (FTTC) modem that is connected to my Netgear DGND4000 router.
I don't want to give the DLM an excuse to lower my sync speed, should I ever have a problem !!
Thanks

I normally go into the router, manually disconnect, turn off the router, turn off the BT Modem then wait at least 5 minutes before turning back on so the DLM has no doubt that it is an intended disconnect.

Thanks picbits for the speedy reply.
I'll keep your method in mind ... hopefully I never need to use it !
Thanks again

To be honest with you, I've had a couple of times where the router has locked up and I've had to do a complete power off of both units simultaneously (my router / modem are a bit hard to get to) so killed the power at the socket. I've waited a few minutes then powered back up with no apparent ill effects but I much prefer the more controlled approach

Thanks khaled35 for the link ... it's now bookmarked !
picbits like you, I also prefer the more controlled approach. I've read that the DLM can be very aggressive, hence I wanted to know the correct method
