Earlier today, I switched everything back to my previous setup before this issue began, DSL-520B modem + D-link router.
I was not seeing any improvements connecting the 8616 modem.
At this very moment (3am), I am seeing decent speeds with my router wired connected.
I've attached my 520B modem stats also (I hope I've copied the right page).
Could it still be my router problem if I see these kind of numbers?
I just experienced another speed drop/disconnect again with this setup, it's only for 1 min or so and I'm reconnected again after.
I'm more than confused if this issue is from my setup/configuration, or if I'm missing a certain hardware from the very start, or my lines are just plain bad!
PTSP -
I'm not familiar with DMT graphs, (my knowledge on this is VERY basic and general, sorry!) is this something I can find from my router? Or available online?
Whenever I call tech support and mention about the lack of a POTS splitter, they all say it's not be necessary or won't make much of a difference. Should I push for having one installed?
Can anyone also help clarify TSI Jonathan's post? (I made another reply and didn't seem to have been posted yet)
I'm not familiar with 2 of the steps in the link he posted, if I do create a new thread in the Direct forum.
4) Tracert google.ca & Ping -n 50 google.ca (you can use MTR to ping google.ca [50 times])
5) Connect with Login/Password test@test / test
a) Note Your 10.x.x.x IP
b) Ping Gateway ("ping -n 50 10.x.x.1")
Thank you so much for everyone's help!
