Loan VDSL Router

[patrict]

Hi all,

Anyone in Pretoria (East preferably) who would be willing to lend me a VDSL router/modem for 24 - 48 hours?

My connection drops constantly (anything from every 15 minutes to a few hours).

My ISP is trying to tell me it's my router but I don't agree. The onus is of course on me to prove this though, but I don't want to go needlessly spend the money on another router...

I would of course be happy to leave cash or an item of value as deposit.

Much appreciated
Patric

Use this program to monitor the noise margin on your line.

With it you can monitor and graph the noise margin and sync speed over a period of time and use it as proof to convince your ISP.

Thanks, can't get it to pick up the stats page on my Pace router.

Sorry if I am stating the obvious, but have you had a good read in the help file Configuring RouterStats ?

No, I spent about 5 minutes fiddling and then stopped. Sadly as much as I might want I don't have time to fiddle with this right now.

Thanks for the info, if I get time in the next few months I'll have a closer look at this.
