Hi BS,

Here's my take on the situation.
Whilst "they" should quite properly check the modem's performance after installation or engineering works have been accomplished, I very much doubt if any attention is paid perhaps after the training period is over ? After all, there is so little going on, perhaps we could have hundreds of "theys" drinking tea all day long monitoring every single FTTC service ? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I strongly suspect sleeping dogs are left asleep !!

Kind regards,
Walter

That's what I feel is the situation myself, Walter. My point was we have to proide the 'correct' router on install,  in response to Josh feeling he was being short-changed by getting flavour 'A' instead of flavour 'B'.

Hi Josh,

Windows 7

Still 192.168.1.1

Laptop: Wireless, Modem to Router Wan port, then Router back to modem Lan port 2

Router ip is 192.168.254

Same as mine, except I login to Windows with a username & password.

I have sent you a PM.


Paul.

Thanks Paul, got it mate, going to check in out today. Wasn't home last night.

Thanks again,

Josh

Got the ongoing graphs working big thanks to Bald_Eagle1 for the help, had a little trouble but here they are;

REIN has not impacted my line (yet) But I'll be sure to post some stats when it's present.

Thanks again Paul!

It looks, to me, as if you have a good FTTC VDSL2 service.

REIN has just started

[JoshShep]

Just like to thank Paul for the help again, I quess I have something to prove/show the next engineer that visits what is happening and when it's happening.

What you guys think? Is this in fact REIN?

[Bald_Eagle1]

REIN has just started

It will be interesting to see quite a few days of continuous graphs.

That's the first time I have seen graphs looking like that.

Are you able to leave it logging 24/7?

If a pattern develops, at least you would know when to go walking the streets with a radio tuned to 612KHz looking for it.

If it starts & stops exactly at the same time every day, it might suggest something like central heating on a timer.

. . . show the next engineer that visits what is happening and when it's happening.

 . . . Is this in fact REIN?

Looking at the easy to interpret graph, we see the gradual decrease in the DS SNRM as the afternoon fades and the evening begins, which should be familiar to anyone with an xDSL service. That is normality and to be expected.

As for the other graphs, they most certainly show some sudden appearance of RFI at about 1900 hours. As Bald_Eagle1 has suggested, it would be nice to see a sequence of graphs covering a number of successive days . . . contiguous logging for a minimum of 3 to 4 days. 

[JoshShep]

I'm going to leave it over night Paul, I'll post more stats tomorrow morning.

I have made sure nothing in this house turns on at the times the REIN starts.

Might be worth asking neighbors either side if there central heating comes on at those times though.

Cheers,

Josh

I'll be posting quite a few more now I got the graphs working!

Put me in a good mood actually, now I have evidence. Might sleep well tonight lol

Josh,

If possible, it would be ideal if you could leave it logging 24 hours a day 7 days a week for at least 2 weeks.
Any recurring patterns could then be easily identified.

When you have gathered that amount of data you can plot it in days, hours, minutes.


Apart from needing to leave the modem & logging PC switched on (no hibernating or dropping into power saving modes), I have seen no negative effects on my system & it has been logging continuously since November.

The log file (modem_stats.log) can get a bit large, so every now & then I rename it & allow the script to continue & create a new modem_stats.log

Just be careful Josh.

I have heard that some people can end up becoming obsessed with stats & graphs & such like

I think that should be fine, I'll set the desktop up in the guest bedroom, and just leave in on 24/7 for the next 7 days.

I have a feeling I'm going to be the same from now on lol

5 hour or REIN, 7 hour graph.
