| Frequent line resyncs with NVG510 Hello. For the past month or so, my (well, actually not mine - I'm 16, so the AT&T account is my parents') UVerse connection has frequently been losing sync and disconnecting/ reconnecting. I read on the ATT Direct Support forum to post here first.
My dad called AT&T Thurs. and they did a line test and told my dad that the result was "indeterminate", and sent an ATT tech out. The tech stayed for about 5 minutes and recommended installing a new phone jack. However that would require drilling into the wall to which my dad replied "I'll think about it and will call back". We are thinking about switching to Comcast cable since we've always had problems with DSL (before UVerse, we had regular AT&T DSL and had problems of disconnects when using land line phone).
The DSL service we are paying for is the "AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet Max 12mbps" plan.
Here's what it says currently on the DSL statistics page(connection has been up for about 5-10 minutes, some information I manually redacted due to static IP information): 
And here's what the log file is (some information I manually redacted due to static IP information):

| so you say you had a similar problem before when you had home phone..Do you still have a home phone? How is the modem plugged into the wall, is it just plugged into a reg jack that was there before(not a jack that a tech installed) It sounds to me like you are using older home wiring to feed the nvg and if that older home wiring is all linked together(i.e. you have 4 jacks in the house and the modem signal is basically running to all those jacks even though its plugged into jack3)
If you were on a lower speed profile you may not have as many drops but for the speed your getting the modem really needs its own cable(cat5e or higher) from the outside nid(network interface) where telephone drop hits the house and the house inside wiring starts all the way to the modem for the best connection |

Yeah re: own CAT5e cable, that's exactly what the AT&T guy recommended.
As for where the modem is installed, it's installed into a jack that was there before currently. And no - we don't have a landline phone anymore. |

| i am a uverse tech, i run into a lot of older home wiring that is causing problems, the older wire can work but its always better with the newer. if the jacks are all going to a common junction, than even removing unused wires that are just bouncing with the signal could inmprove the reliability |

Thanks for the advice. Told my dad and he said he will call AT&T soon to schedule an appointment with an ATT tech to install a new phone jack. |

Update: well dad finally called AT&T today. The tech installed a new phone jack (with a new CAT5 cable the tech said). However, now I'm unable to resync at the full speed (downstream before was ~12000, now ~9000, not a big difference I'll admit). Also, I'm getting some amount of FEC errors (currently 121 after being up for about ~10 minutes). Should I be worried re: errors?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Edit: A few minutes after this original reply posting, the DSL disconnected and reconnected again.
Edit 2: I'm getting this error whenever I have to reconnect: "DSL: Last Retrain Reason: 0x1 RDI Detector" |

| I had the same thing when I went from DSL to uverse. WE chased the problem for a month and the final solution was to go down a tier in speed.
I'm at 6mbit instead of 12mbit but I have none of this crap "DSL: Last Retrain Reason: 0x1 RDI Detector" |

Hmm - after dealing with multiple ATT techs, tech who came out today replaced the outside NID -- and the issues appear to have been fixed. Just wanted to provide some closure to this thread/ topic. |

| reply to mattw13
Perhaps, even though you think your issue may be fixed you should post a photo of the phone jack, and a photo of the NID outside (opened up showing the wiring of course) and some of the inside wiring if you can. It would help us determine if there is anything that has been overlooked that could help improve your situation even more. |
