... as I am accessing over wireless anyone cracks my wireless they have access to the root console?

It should be safe if you use WPA2 as encryption combined with a strong password. At http://www.canyouseeme.org/ you can test if the telnet service is accessible from the WAN.

Reasonably strong password using WPA2 and that website cant see 23 or 1023 so thats good. Thanks for the site.

Noticed that DSLStats is dropping the odd sample is that a side effect of the hack or just the modem not able to cope? Set at 30 second sampling.

[roseway]

Probably the modem is not able to cope. You might find that a one minute sample period would be better.

[banger]

Thanks will try a minute.

One another note quick question I have tweaked the SNR to 3.4db from 6db in Telnet, is this permanent or does it need to be repeated on reboot?

[burakkucat]

It will not be permanent and the command will need to be re-issued following a warm re-boot or after a power-cycle.

Many thanks.

Had a bit of a problem tonight. DSLStats started saying unable to login to modem. So I opened cmd prompt and telnet in after stopping DSLStats, the prompt response was very slow. I checked my wireless and it was at 13mbps.

So I am not sure if it was slow wireless as a local Sky Box had occupied channel 11, the router was on channel 10. So changed channel but had to reboot the router as the prompt was still slow. I added a secondary address to the LAN just in case it was because I was opening web page on the same IP.

Seems ok now but will run for a few days see if it falls over again. Not sure if it was just the wireless slow down or the router cant cope with being asked for stats so many times. Anyone else seen this?

The TD-W9970 is a budget model, and it doesn't have a lot of horsepower, so I suspect that it just chokes up with repeated collection of stats.

Well uptime was about 1day 4 hours so see what it is like tomorrow. Sync was stable.

Joined MyDSLstats and currently uploading data, very useful site, will see if the router can make it past 1 day 4 hours. I am still not convinced it was the router, maybe wireless. If it is wireless will have to try powerline.

It's better to be on the same channel rather than partly overlap, so generally stick to channels 1, 6 and 11.

I've never been keen on how the stats programs tend to login and logout each time they take a sample, this must be more work than staying connected.

Yes I noticed that it would be a lot simpler to login once and then repeat stats, lot of extra work for the router I would imagine.

[roseway]

It's not simpler, just different. Staying logged in brings its own set of difficulties. I did look at it some time ago and decided against it. Now, age and weariness combine to make it simply too big a job.
