The minimum SNR downstream on Be is 3db gaming profile (can be set via Be's website), you need to set the SNR to -1 (default on the Billion) and check your SNR reading (this will show you what BE have set your SNR too from there you can tweak/lower the SNR downstream value)Tooros wrote:Could some help me out a little with this SNR tweak?
The table on page 1 here seems to make sense to me (in terms of what number = what value, rather than pure logic)
What I'm confused about is what am I aiming for?
I'm on BE.
I'm guessing they set 3,6 or 9.
Do I have to call them to ask what I'm set for?
Can I see it in the status on the router itself?
Assuming I discover what value I'm supposed to be at - what adjustment am I then aiming for? To get as close to what the ISP thinks I'm on or lower? That's the bit I'm a little fuzzy on.
Hope someone can help - Cheers.
Once done then you tweak the SNR, to find the best speed and stability (all ADSL lines are different so you have find the best SNR settings to give the best connection speed with stability)
On a Be line you should be able to go as low 3db (sometimes even lower, you can test different values to see how low you can go and keep stability) as the 7800 can deal with this (on a stable line)
For example once set to -1 on the SNR page you get a SNR downstream value of 6db, once set to 3 on the SNR page you should get 3db SNR downstream, then leave it for a few days and see if it is stable (no ADSL drops outs) if it is stable you can then try 2.5 on the SNR page and see if that is stable etc.
