Echolife Stats

[Simmy]

I have had my Echolife connected now for a week and have pasted the router stats to see if I have any problems with my connection.The FEC count seems to be a bit on the high side and my upload speed has dropped by over 40% compared with my old VOYAAGER 2110.Any answers available?

Those look OK although you have sent the stats page. The FEC's are shown on the System Information page

Looks OK, you are clocking up some FEC errors but you will always get them.

If you want to optimise to the max then if you run the router monitor program in visualise mode you will get to see when they clock up and see if you can track it to an event in the house.

[Simmy]

Thanks matt the problem for me running the monitor mode is I cannot distingiush the different coloured lines in the graph because of my visual impairement.Any suggestions?

[matt]

You can turn them all off bar one using the tick boxes on the right hand side.

[Simmy]

ok I haave attached a log for you to look at let me know what it means thanks

[matt]

OK, if you load it into the Monitor program, select the visualise tab and unclick all the tick boxes.

Clicking just Syn U and Syn D will show you that you have a rock stead sync speed.

Clicking just Att U and Att D will show you that you have a rock steady attenuation

Lookig at just SNR U & D you can see that your attentuation is solid, and by the graph just jumping up in 0.5db increments I assume you have an MT882 :) If this were an HG520s that line would be slightly wiggly but its still good.

Clicking just upstream CRC, FEC and HEC show no errors which means that remote cross talk is unlikely.

Clicking the downstream equivalents reveals the only "errors", you have a slight incremental error count on your modem which means that its not noise spiking thats causing it.

As the sample is over 2 and a half hours its not an issue, just "normal errors".

The FEC error count

Many thanks for your input matt it's just that since connecting the HG 520 my speeds have changed slightly compared to the VOYAGER,especially the upload has dropped from around 350ish to less than 190 kbs/s.Any way I don't suppose there is much to worry about so thanks again.
