I'm a big fan of the 585v6 - it transformed my connection, but...
In the last week I've noticed more errors, a bigger drop in SNRM in the evening and also seen a few restarts - I've never had those before.
Yesterday was the final straw - When I came back in the afternoon I drove past an 'Openreach' van along the lane to where I live (that always gets the heart going
) when I got in and looked at RouterStats I could see I had lost sync or had 3 restarts during the afternoon
I turn all my IT kit off at night, restarting everything first thing in the morning - I go to my study and switch everything on (including the router) by the time I come back with my coffee the router is normally ready to go. But in the last few days I had noticed that the LEDs are still sorting themselves out and the DSL and Internet one's still take another minute or two to come on - so this was also worrying me.
Today I switched to my backup 585v6 (I bought two a year or more back - new from an eBay seller) - This appears to start up quicker and has performed faultlessly all day - with no restarts and few errors.
So it's looking as if my original 585v6 was starting to die on me
and it would have been easy to blame a deterioration of my line, as I nearly did.
I'll be back with more news as things unfold...
