ZyXEL VMG1312-B10a - Fix SNR Margin?
« on: July 08, 2024, 04:37:47 PM »

Hi all - I recently got hold of a second hand VMG1312-B10a to use on my TalkTalk FTTC line.  (I had been using my old Sky router, as the TalkTalk one wouldn't work properly with some of my devices).  The Sky router was fine but locked down and had little user control on it.

When  I had Sky it used to sync at about 3dB SNR and was very stable at that.  Since moving to TalkTalk it never goes below 6dB SNR, and is still stable, but I wondered if it was possible to ask the router to target the lower SNR - and hence faster speed?

Anyone know if this is possible from the command line on the VMG1312-B10a, and if it is likely to work?

If you are on a Local Loop Unbundled (LLU) TalkTalk connection then I believe they use their own DLM and that might be why it's fixed at 6dB. As for manually tweaking it, you can cap the sync to force it up and thus reduce errors but you can't force it down.
