I wonder if anyone here can offer a little help?
I've started using the TP-Link TD-W8961ND modem I recently bought for £4.50 from the Cats Protection League shop, and so far have found the wireless to be more consistent than my TalkTalk supplied D-Link 2780.
Originally I tried to telnet into the TP-Link modem, it just hung and timed out, so I assumed there was no command line.
Today, idly trying again, it responded, and I can log in. It doesn't announce itself, not ask for a username, just wants a password, which turns out to be admin.
Anyway, poking about I can get some stats with the seemingly proprietary commands as follows :
TP-LINK> wan adsl linedata near
relative capacity occupation: 100%
noise margin downstream: 6.0 db
output power upstream: 10.3 dbm
attenuation downstream: 21.0 db
TP-LINK> wan adsl linedata far
relative capacity occupation: 100%
noise margin upstream: 9.2 db
output power downstream: 0.0 dbm
attenuation upstream: 10.6 db

So, as a start, looking at that bits per tone data, is there a reasonably simple way I can plot them? Like save them to a file and run them through some program?
And is there any other useful data I might get from the command line interface?
This is all new to me!
Thanks
