    17.1 14.0
    UPnP Enabled
    Output power (dBm)

    You'll get a max of between 8 and 9 megs.

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but would my stats indicate that I could recieve anything higher than 8MB. When my line maxs out it regularly goes passed 8MB and then settles down.


    DSL Noise Margin: Down 6.3 dB / Up 22.0 dB
    DSL Attenuation: Down 39.5 dB / Up 19.9 dB
    DSL Transmit Power: Down 0.0 dBm / Up 12.6 dBm

    You'd get about the same for that attenuation.

    I've got a Netgear Wireless ADSL Firewall Router DG834G

    Where do I get these stats in it? I can't for the life of me find them.

    Thanks

    Your noise margin is on the low side? Do you get frequent disconnects?

    Look for attenuation or SNR/noise margin.

    The other important part is who is your ISP and is it a LLU exchange, Smart use ADSL2+ and can get far more out of your line than the other ISPs as they also sync you at a higher speed to allow for protocol overhead so you get the advertised speed if the line can take it.
