Hiya Folks,
Modem / Router is a D-link TD-W8960N
I'm getting intermittent DSL dropouts - perhaps several times an hour, sometimes once an hour, sometimes whole hours before I get a drop out.
Have been on to Vodafone, and they can't really determine any issues on the line.
Have done the isolation tests - nothing else on the line - single jackpoint in the house.
Before I get back on the grizzle line to VF, I see in the modem's logs, a couple of bogus packets before the DSL line drops, this is always consistent when the ADSL line drops:
Sep 20 09:45:54
daemon
warn
kernel: Warning: xtm channel 0 rx bogus packet
Sep 20 09:45:54
daemon
warn
kernel: Warning: xtm channel 1 rx bogus packet
Then the re-training:
Sep 20 09:46:01
daemon
crit
kernel: Line 0: xDSL G.994 training
Sep 20 09:46:10
daemon
crit
kernel: Line 0: ADSL G.992 started
Sep 20 09:46:16
daemon
crit
kernel: Line 0: ADSL G.992 channel analysis
Sep 20 09:46:24
daemon
crit
kernel: Line 0: ADSL G.992 message exchange
Sep 20 09:46:24
daemon
crit
kernel: Line 0: ADSL link up, Bearer 0, us=1081, ds=16286
It also take 6 or so attempts before the account login is successful:

I have also tried an older ADSL Modem / router, a Linksys WAG54GP2 and was also getting the same intermittent dropouts.
So what is a bogus packet - noise on the line, or something else ? It's been happening for the last 3 or so weeks.
Anything I can go back to Vodafone with to assist in getting this resolved ?
Cheers
