OK so my sync problems are sorted now so that's not the issue here.

It's always good to relate how a problem was resolved so that others perhaps can benefit if they have a similar problem.

Was it the location of the router ?

Was it the change from O2 to ADSL24 ?

Was it something else ?

No offence, but the title of this thread is about a new router! Nothing to do with problems from before! However, it was the cable I was using from the phone socket to the router. I bought a shielded one.

a router with a Broadcom chip is best for standard ADSL broadband that I have.

My current DG834G hasn't got that,

1. Depends onthe ISP and their equipment. Who is it?
2. How do you know? What version is it?

Mr Grumpy?

ADSL24 who advise a broadcom one is better.

I have the v3 which has the broadcom wireless chip but not the adsl chip. Whether it makes much noticable difference I don't know.

Thanks, you perhaps have helped several people searching the forum for a solution to similar problems.

Also with the new cable, perhaps you may not need a new router ?

If they are like the O2/Be LLU setup then yes it will be.
A v4 or GT will work well but NOT a v5.

[jaydog]

Are we talking a noticable difference though, or just a slightly higher sync or something?

[jaydog]

Now connected to my new ISP. Youtube videos no longer buffer and it all seems much faster. So changing to a new ISP can help...

[BritBrat]

If it was O2 Access any ISP would be better.

[jaydog]

Yeah it was O2 Access! Video's constantly buffering - no idea why as speed tests showed the same speed I am on now with my new ISP. But hey, it works.

Don't think I will change my router. However I can only sync at 3900 which was around the same as O2. A month ago I could sync at 4600. I'm wondering if the weather is effecting sync speeds.

[BritBrat]

You may still be in line training mode.

[jaydog]

Ok so after the training period of 10 days, then what? Will it auto disconnect and resync or do I have to do that? I don't understand how that works really.

[BritBrat]

Just leave it on and do nothing.

[jaydog]

Thanks, but this won't resync higher will it?
