Router stats SNR etc

[xaler]

these are my routers stats from upstairs where it is kept due to wired lan etc

                Down            Up
SNR (dB):       27.0            25.0
Attn(dB):       31.5            16.5
Pwr(dBm):       19.2            11.2
Max(Kbps):      8576            1064
Rate (Kbps):    2272            288

means very little to me apart from the bottom line

here are the stats when i move the router downstairs to which i think is the master socket.

                Down            Up
SNR (dB):       14.0            17.0
Attn(dB):       54.0            31.5
Pwr(dBm):       19.6            12.1
Max(Kbps):      5056            796
Rate (Kbps):    2272            288

seems to be a large diff in them numbers. can any one tell me whats better, lower higher etc. based on that would i be better keeping the router downstairs to get more from max adsl? will the diff figures make a big diff?

[techmob]

well it seems the top one, is better

the higher the snr the better, the lower the Attn the better

so upstairs

....

and yes those figures would make a difference... the top ones are nice stats

example, i think your router is refering to the max speed you can get here

Max(Kbps): 8576 1064 this is from the top one


Max(Kbps): 5056 796 this is from the bottom one

as you can see the top one refers to 8mb+ connection, the bottom one is refering to a 5mb or there abouts connection

how does that work if the phone line comes in to the bottom of the house theres another phone socket downstairs behinde the tv ill have a go at that one tomorrow.

heh cheers for the info on the snr etc

(cheers for the extra info)
ahh that explains the 2nd last line then. got a bit confused over that

[techmob]

mate, that is something you will have to find out

it seems backwords, but from what the above says, it seems to be true!

good luck with your findings

p.s maybe you can check it from behind the master socket

look here for an example http://www.dslzoneuk.net/socket.php

tested it after removing the face plate on the same thing downstairs in the hall and got this lol

                Down            Up
SNR (dB):       30.1            26.0
Attn(dB):       31.0            16.0
Pwr(dBm):       19.1            11.6
Max(Kbps):      10144           1076
Rate (Kbps):    2272            288

not seeing much logic to this at all

thats good !

better than the top one you did earlier..

so is this the master socket?

[Noreen]

xaler, have a look here http://www.kitz.co.uk/ and click on adsl, it will explain the stats.

[xaler]

i think it is the master socket, the same socket that reported the stats that related to the 5ish mbit lol.

unless all the phone sockets have the "test socket" under the face plate? in which case this my not be my master socket and i will get even better stats somewhere else lol
