guys just for general knowledge, some routers sync higher than other in terms of max speed. and also, some router can withstand higher snr ratios than other. Iam talking from personal experience. tplink w8961nd vs tplink vr400. vr400 being the superior one.

On w8961nd, with open speed now, my download speed is 14.5. whereby vr400 my download speed is 17.5

I read somewhere that routers with broadcom chipsets (in my case the vr400) is superior in terms of higher snr ratios and higher syn rates.
So tonight I came home and the whole family was nagging about slow Internet. I picked up my Hewlett Packard laptop and in a blink of an eye navigated into my modem's stats.

And so it beings ...



I thought wow they must be really working hard on this at Ogero, let me tweak the SNR and push it higher a little bit.



Oh man I didn't do anything yet and I'm already getting CRC errors.

Ok, shifting gears and going up to ONE!1!!1!!! Mbps



Not a second in and it's already raining CRCs.

When I was about to pick up the phone and call Sodetel support I remembered the age old question "sir did you try plugging it in another outlet ?"

So I did that and everything went back to normal



The thing is, I remember this outlet being trash a few years ago and it once fried my old DSL modem. A few days ago I tried to sync on this outlet and only got 2Mbps. It seems like these two outlets like to swap roles every 2 years.

Adnan wrote@TheLebGeek start by setting the mode to ADSL2+ instead of G.DMT. If it doesn't work then your CO doesn't have ADSL2+ and you're out of luck.
Ahmad Toutounji wrote Like Adnan said set it on adsl2+ , and your snr margin is very bad you should tell ogero to check your line for interferences
Silentcontrol wroteI dont think his snr is low 11 by 14 is average try synching adsl 2 + amd resend a picture
Thanks guys for your help. I don't think I am able to change to ADSL2+ using my router or either I'm not able to find that option. My router is the ZHONE wifi router model 6519-W1-XX that comes with ogero. I'm logging in using user/user as username and password.

However, weird enough when I was looking for the settings today, the statistics were changed from yesterday as shown below.

So to update you on this, i called ogero and they sent someone to check the lines in my house. The technician that came said that my lines are not able to accommodate more than 6mbps. What do you guys think??

I can't help you unless you change to adsl2+ then i can know true distance from the co, since gdmt is another modulation
where can I buy a modem with a broadcom chipset

Can i do that using the zhone router by ogero? I asked before because i was not able to find the option to change that.

if there's no option for it you have to use telnet
So this is interesting
I'm getting full speed on Annex mode M

While on Annex A (lower Line Attenuation) my speed is being limited, and my CRC errors are sky high.

Any idea as to what can cause this and how I can resolve it?

This is very very odd, i am feeling that annex a is causing reduced max rate all over lebanon 2-3 days ago but maybe i am wrong? in the meantime stay with annex m as it offers much better down and up speeds while annex a is fixed

Yes, but you can email chebaro@ogero.gov.lb asking for pppoe credentials so you can set it up yourself, i say get a tplink or asus modem/router don'r get anything cheaper than tplink

But how is it someone in this forum called idm and they said for 4mb only
How come OS = Open Speed and they r limiting the speed to 10Mbps?

Shi bi da7ik , before the new plans keno yhottto l 7a2 3a ogero ino abd l men3em is limiting the speeds

Now wa2ta sarit open , saro hine limiting it to 10 Mbps

Hole dkekin mich chariket :s
