OK so I bought a Tp-link Archer VR400 V3.

Current plans are install the new router tomorrow, hope and pray for an improvement and if it doesn't work out, cancel and send everything back after a few days.

According to a couple of suppliers, billion have supply issues at present.

Zyxel vmgxxxxb work well as modems, I'm using a vmg1312b10a at present.

...
As far as I can see, DLM shouldn't kick into high gear unless there are multiple dropouts within a very short amount of time.

That is correct. It is generally best to leave over 30mins following a disconnection before reconnecting, I think to ensure that there is at least one 15min stats collection period between the events. I must admit however that I have broken that rule on many occasions without issue.
Your line is still in its starting state as far as DLM is concerned, ie G.INP is off and interleaving is on for your Huawei based line, so I'd still be respectful and do your best not to upset it.

So I know the fact I'm with IDNET and the fact that I have a new SOGEA line is just incidental information, just putting it out there first up.
...
So we're at an impasse, I don't want to risk being charged but I don't think the line is nessasarily behaving properly. They say there's no problem.

Their say on the matter is "it appears that the specific copper pair that you're connected to is already reaching it's potential" - (paraphrased)

Hi, also on IDNET now, similar situation to yours.

I moved in to new house about a month ago, the previous owners were with BT and I had checked the sync myself on their active line prior to moving in, it was at 58Mbps.

My Internet is via with IDNET on SOGEA and the OR engineer confirmed it is using the same pairs and route as the previously active line. But I get a solid 48Mbps at 6dB so I'm 10 down on what this line should be syncing at.

Idnets view is to wait and hopefully it will go to a 3dB profile, so far it has not moved off 6dB, it has not resync'd for the last 10 days - it only resync'd because I needed to power down the router, before that no rescyc's and still holding steady at 48.

Im on a Huawei cab, my modem is a commtrend vr-3030 firmware C031-416KRL-C01_R15

@mattd, G.INP is applied as you say and with ReTx Low (INPRein=0 on Bearer 0) which is good, but it's puzzling why it hasn't started stepping down the SNR. It'd certainly have expected it to given the very low errors you are seeing.  ???

Yep! Really weird, I’m going to leave it be for another 5 days and perhaps then it it’s still not lost sync or changed the profile idnet can reset it

No, bought it off eBay. Was new :-)

So the new router came (TP-Link VR400 v3)

The stats are extremely limited -
Line Status:
Connected
DSL Up Time:
0 days 0 hours 21 minutes

DSL Modulation Type:
VDSL2

Annex Type:
Annex auto

Upstream   Downstream
Current Rate (kbps)   12387   42338

Max Rate (kbps)   12413   54115

SNR Margin (dB)   6.2   5.2

Line Attenuation (dB)   3   16.1

Errors (pkts)   2   309


Stats are better than previously posted, however this had improved marginally prior to replacing the router.

If anyone has a method of accessing more connection stat data on this model, would be greatly appreciated. I've searched a bit but I've only found such info on much older models. Gotta say, this router's admin page is pretty weak.

No idea if anything here implies g.imp enabled or not - not that there's anything anyone can do unless DLM decides to enable it.

This seems to imply I'm connected via fastpath now, which seems to hold true, my pings have dropped about 9-10ms

I'm not sure I actually trust some of these stats, isn't G.993.2_Annex_K_PTM usually for countries outside the UK?

Every VDSL2 modem supports PTM.

The reference to "Annex K" is because PTM is described in Annex K of the ITU-T ADSL2 G.992.3 document. Annex K of the ITU-T VDSL2 G.993.2 document is actually just a placeholder saying it is "for further study".

Those are interesting stats

What do you think? Misreporting or actually connected weird?

Speaking of stats, from the actual router page, you reckon this amount of errors in such a short amount of time should be cause for concern? (I actually at least trust the actual router stats vs what telnet reports) -

It's unfortunately not clear what type of errors they are. If they are CRCs then it's bad but if FECs then it's perfectly fine.

You may be able to get more detailed stats using StatPOSTer which works with most TPlink modems

https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,14377.msg269624.html#msg269624

I've not used a TPlink modem for a while and I may be dreaming, but I'm sure some people got DSLstats working with the TPlinks too.    ETA have a read through the thread linked above - its seems possible with the VR400 v3.

Disclaimer this is experimental and you do so at your own risk.

I agree, this router's admin page is horrendous! (no offence to the person who suggested it, the only criteria when asking for a router was that it had a broadcom chipset)

I've tried everything I can think to get this to work, cleared the username as blank (my router doesn't seem to require one to log into the admin panel or telnet)

Deffo entering the correct password, tried both models on the dropdown but no matter what, I just get -

Code: [Select]
2021.04.12 11:52:22 xDSL Stats:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://192.168.1.1/cgi?1&5

I'd very much like to be able to use this, or DSLstats but it's the same situation with that, just doesn't want to connect no matter what.

I assume I've "hacked" the router correctly seeing as I can telnet at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DSLstats states that I've used the wrong username+pass


Update on that... it appears the fact that I had an active telnet session running already was stopping it from connecting...

Now instead of login errors, I get -
Code: [Select]
12 Apr 2021 12:04:09 Recording started
12 Apr 2021 12:04:24 Timeout while retrieving stats
12 Apr 2021 12:04:24 No stats received


Thinking about it, maybe it already had rudimentary telnet access and I in fact did not fully unlock it? Does this deffo look unlocked?



Failing everything else, I am still happy to return everything I've already bought if required. If anyone can still suggest a VDSL modem or router (That I can actually buy) with decent stat reporting and a broadcom chipset for the modem, I am still willing to move to yet another device  ;D
