Re: [DSL] Help me tweak Verizon 7.1mbps/768

• Go wired to the router and test from there.

• If I had to speculate at this juncture it could be that hop at your location is messing things up somewhat or there is an issue with your wireless setup.

• Output or TX Power
How much power modem (upstream) or DSLAM (downstream) is using. Maximum recommended is about 15dB. The lower the power the better for this measurement.

• I guess that is wired to the router. Correct?

• Again your speeds are like the wind. Sometimes blowing from the North and sometimes from the South.

• You should be getting at least 80% of your advertised speed. (6.1mb)

• If that is directly connected to the router, it is that hop at your location is messing things up somewhat or there is an issue with your wireless setup.

• Try different channels on the router and see which one gives you the best speed.
