helterskelter07:
I had my VDSL installation On Wednesday, unfortunatly there was an issue with the wiring, many extensions and a the main line in the loft not an easy access point. The Chorus engineer left me with a master splitter and a good length of Cat6 cable explaining that the splitter needs to be located on the incomiong line.
I extended the cable from the loft and sorted the cabling, removing all extensions leaving just 1 phone (no sky or alarm). I moved the modem next to the master spliter and punched down the rj45 jack for the modem. The cabinet is in front of my house but the telephone wires go up the road and then back to me so I am approx 40 / 50m from the cabinet.
Telecom sent me a VDSL Modem I was not a huge fan of the Thomson they sent me for ADSL so purchased a netgear N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit DSL Modem Router – Premium Edition (DGND4000) but cannot use this for VDSL.
I would have expected better results but the experience we have had so far has been dissapointing, no better than ADSL videos lag and spped tests much the same as ADSL apart from upload increased.
Very limited info on the Technicolour Router, I notice on the forums users are posting much more detailed info are people using different routers ? I cannot find the SNR only the SNM is shown
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]:5.8 / 2.3
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]:14.7 / 12.4
I seem to be getting a lot of FEC errors. what are these ?
FEC Errors (Up/Down):8265 / 556
Any suggestions on what I can do ?
My image not displaying the router details, pasted the BB Code sorry..
Can you do a speed test via http://www.telecom.co.nz/internet/existingcustomers/overview/testyourspeed/ via an ethernet connection (i.e. not via wi-fi) and post your ping, and speed (both download and upload).
Don't worry about FEC errors that much.
