Hello
A couple of questions for you peeps.

My router is a Linksys ADSL2 AG241 ADSL gateway 4 port switch with Firmware Version: 2.01.00.

What I would like is information on how to get better info from my router. I am currently using Routerstats to monitor SNr and connect speed. This is due to currently being in the 10 day training period, after moving to DSL max product.

I have read posts that refer to the DTM Tool. Is this something that can be used with my router?

Thanks

It's DMT, not DTM You can download it from here but you have to use the right version for your router. Although the AG241 isn't listed there, I think that v8.07 might work for you because it supports the WAG54G. You can get some help in using it here.

You can see how to get the router stats here.

Thanks for the reply and the error correction thanks

I shall try the DMT tool thanks for the link.

Mmmm slight problem using the DMT tool.

 It says "there is no server running on the given port" which is 23 in the DMT tool.

Any ideas ?

What URL are you using to log into the router,and have you entered your router password.

Try ticking the special log on box . If that dont work it may be that the DMT tool isnt compatible with the chipset in the router.

I am thinking that you may well be right there. I opened port 23 on my firewall, but still no joy.

Thanks any, it was always worth a punt

Did you try the special logon box?

After a little googling, the AG241 doesn't allow telnet access in its default state.

I found this page which has a custom-built firmware image that enables telnet access on the router (required for DMT tool).

I can't personally verify the safety / success of using this firmware, and the usual warnings apply about installing unsupported firmware on a device, it will also void your warranty should anything go wrong.

So it's up to you - remember the firmware is the core software that makes your router work, and I'm not suggesting you do this, merely pointing out that it is possible

Yes Roseway, I did try the Special button but I still feel the same!

Thanks  Mr Chris a very useful link there, I have duly booked marked it.
However, As the router is working very well I shall not bother with the firmwear. No point in meddling with something that is preforming well.
I was thinking of getting a new Adsl+2 router if O2 unbundle our local exchange. Might look at Netgear again but still think back to the last netgear I had just would not work...
Once again many thanks for the help peeps

Regards
