A full router/modem single box Netgear D6220 which has gigabit LAN and is Broadcom so runs DSLStats.

I have always advised, when configuration changes are to be made to a modem (or modem/router), to always disconnect the device from the incoming line. Hence any re-boots of the device are not seen by the DSLAM.

Would that not still cause a retrain?  I was under the impression it's retrains the DLM counts, forced or unforced...?

Ideally, the pedantic protocol to follow would be --

• From the modem/router's administration interface (CLI or GUI), "down" the xDSL service.
• Disconnect the modem/router from the incoming line.
• Adjust the modem/router's configuration.
• Power down the modem/router.
• Reconnect it to the incoming line.
• Once 30 minutes have passed since performing step one, power up the modem/router and allow it to re-train.

The 30 minute wait is recommended due to the fact that the DLM considers those parameters, which it monitors, in 15 minute blocks. It is not known where any 15 minute block would begin and end. Thus by allowing 30 minutes to elapse, there is one complete 15 minute block in which the DLM will see no data and, hopefully, will take that as an indication of a planned outage and not circuit instability.

I'm to old and impatient to wait 30 mins to get back online :-)

why is that is it bad for DSLAM to see our modem rebooting again and again? Or DSLAM will put us in some list?

In the UK too many line drops (reboots) in short succession will make the DSLAM think the line has deteriorated and DLM will then take action to stabilise the line. This can result in a capped line rate which can be hard to shift.

Hey guys, has anyone tried this product yet? It has many features, nice interface and modular packages I'm interested in buying it and need opinions thank you.

The specifications state its CPU is EN7513T - EcoNet a.k.a. MediaTek - as in the awful DSL modem in the Asus DSL-AC68U. 100Mb Ethernet ports and fairly dated 5GHz wifi. Dated hardware and all of its distinguishing features seem to be done by software. I wouldn't touch it with an extra long barge pole.

Thanks for comment ac68u is still very expensive combo here. Above product is like one third price of it here.
What is the best combined vdsl2 modem router in your opinion that's not dated and awful? Thank you.
