Hello everyone,
So, I couldn't resist, I performed a manual power down and power up on my router this morning.
Before I performed the action, the line stats showed the Downstream Attainable Rate to be around 44000 Kbps, so I performed the above, however when the line synced, the Downstream Data Rate was slightly lower. Obviously, I was a bit annoyed but also confused. Why is the Downstream Attainable Rate figure so innacurate? Is it to do with interleaving being applied as well as G.INP?
I manually power down/power up my modem once a day at least, as I like to turn off electronic devices when I'm not at home or asleep. My line always sync's within ±5% of my average sync rate. It's nothing to be afraid of doing, since there are many people who do turn off these modems at night, so DLM accounts for it.
You'll only run into problems if you restart your modem several times within a certain time period. Once or even twice per 24h is perfectly fine.
