I will look into the possible use of the 2 wire router.
I moved from a DG834G v3 to a 2700HGV and was VERY pleased with the result.
The line is some 6.2Km long with an attenuation around 74.9db but still the 2700HGV manages to sync at 896Kbps . The router looses sync around once a week - always between 4.30 and 5.30 and it resyncs immediately at about 676Kbps. I simply force another resync the following morning and we're back to 896Kbps. fabulous router!
For comparison the DG834G v3 gave me 648kbps and frequently lost sync in the evening and many, many times during the night. I have also tried the DG834G v4, V5, D-Link DSL 2640b and Thompson 585 v5 but none of these modems can sync with the Alcatel kit at the exchange.
I've just bought a second 2700HGV on ebay for £11 and await its arrival. I'm hoping its got the v5 firmware installed but if not I'll replace the v6 firmware with the Qwest firmware (as mention in an earlier thread).
Good luck.
