Different Router SnR

[Comix]

I've been having problems with my SnR lately as I've moved from a 8Mb to a 20Mb line (40Mb supported).

On my expensive Netgear D6300 I get an noise of about 2.5db causing frequent disconnections.
however...
On my cheap Telkom special DuoPlus 300 I get noise level of about 9db with a near perfect connection.

Why is there such a difference, chipsets, fault router?

As long as you're only changing the router and not any peripherals like the filters, I would say its a faulty router, if the Telkom router doesn't drop the line like the Netgear this would make me even more suspicious

Actually, different routers have different chipsets. Some play better with certain Exchange equipment.

Then again, does sound like the Netgear is faulty. There shouldnt be such a higher variance in noise etc.

I actually think in this case the Netgear Router is just being overly efficient at reducing the noise. The general aim is to have SNR at about 6.0db for optimal bandwidth usage. In my case since the line is faulty and SNR already very low, the additional 'efficiency' pushes the SNR to failing point. The Telkom Router on the other hand doesn't really give a damn and does little to optimize the potential line throughput.

Sounds about right with Telkom
