Re: SpeedTouch 516 Tweaking :)

Thanks TilhasBB,
I DID NOT remember what the first Version of my Speedtouch.

1. "6.1.0.5 is the worse of the lot.."
-> You mean : this version is bad?

2. "Get the 6.2 UK firmware"
--> As the DMT information, I think My Speedtouch is :
516V5 (BANT-J), and
Software Variant : AA
So I have tried to install 6.2UK (for 516V6 only), but could NOT upgrade.
3."Check your physical setup. everything filtered? alarms, faxes satellite "
- DONE. And my ADSL line is a new private line; direct from the ISP to my Router.

Ahhh you have the V5 so its different firmwares for you.

Try 5.4 one wait 24hours to test it out see how many errors and how stable it is.
Then try the 6.1 and keep best of the two.

here's the way it works.

Your line can do 22783kbps but your line card at the central office says he's only paying for 4101.
So only 4101 of the 22783 is used = 18% Which is good which means your line has a lot of room and should have any errors.

Your on an ADSL2+ Card.

Your line is phenomenal but your getting errors on your upload side.

What i recommend you do. Is try each firmware for 24hours and look at the number of errors. the one with the least amount use it.

If your not having any sync issues and its stable leave it as is

Have a good night
