I read that if you reboot your router too often in a day it can lower your profile.

If I switch off my router and wait an hour and then switch back on would that be OK ?   I want to try and sync at a higher speed as I have lots of spare noise margin at the moment.
It's 15db down and 7db up.

I know it's supposed to go down eventually and if I then reboot I should sync higher but I'd like a higher sync without waiting a few weeks.

Or should I switch off at night and then on next day at mabye 10am.

Overnight switch off would be the safest bet.

OK will do the RAMBO seems to be so sensitive.

[roseway]

It's not really that sensitive. You need to lose sync several times in an hour to trigger an increase in your target noise margin.

[farmergiles]

I seem to find if I switch on the router and after five mins uplug the microfilter  from the master socket wait a minute and put it back in I get a higher sync.   But I'm wary of doing it more than once.

[roseway]

Yes, it's probably as well to be wary. To be honest, I rather doubt that the success of that method is anything more than coincidence.

I have a Belkin cable router, if I unplugged it for two months would it find its settings again?  or would I have to install it again

[roseway]

It would keep its settings for as long as you like.
