Okay I know somebody replied, but it didn't ask for my specific router. I have the supplied Huawei router from Telkom

I currently don't have a pc, but is there somewhere online I can check my line stats by entering my username and password?

I have no clue how you guys get the stats, but I need to send it to somebody to check.

Thank You
 
NB! - you'd need your modem/router attached to a PC - preferably connected to your Telkom ADSL/VDSL line - to go through & check on all the following.

I don't have your router, but in general terms :

1. Open a web browser** & in the search bar at the top, type in - 192.168.1.1 - that should be the default IP address assigned to your router ;

2. It should open a box which will have space for your modem/router's Username & Password to be inserted ;

3. By factory default, most modems/routers have as default, the Username & Password (both) set to "admin" ;

4. If (username & password are) accepted by your modem/router, then it'll open a webpage which you can navigate to get your stats, especially SNR (noise) margins, attenuation, actual & attainable router speeds (Mbps) ;

5. Should you not gain access, try Googling your router model no., and if there's a PDF on the internet, it should give you the default login details OR there should be a pamphlet in the box the router was in when you bought it, with the details ;

6. Within the modem/router settings (under Security / Passwords, or similar), ensure you change the password (username as well, if possible to) to something rather more complex than just "admin".


** = note : I currently find that Internet Explorer allows me to access my modem/router stats, but not Mozilla Firefox or Google's Chrome - I think it depends on their updates which for some reason sometimes block access ; therefore, try Internet Explorer first, and if that doesn't work, then try the others, and/or Opera browser.

Pleasure.

Hopefully you do realise, that before trying any of the above, the device needs to be setup on the PC, otherwise typing in "192.168.1.1" will invariably achieve no result.

Found a link to some Telkom routers, one of which might be yours, but if not, yours should follow similar principle/s :
