D6200 DSL statistics / connection speed
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, I have looked online and through the manual to no avail.
All previous routers I have used allowed me to get DSL statistics, what actual rate it had trained up at, SNR etc.
When I bought the D6200 I was in a city with very good connectivity so I never bothered to try and find this information out.
Now that I have moved to a more rural area I am not getting great data rates, I would like to find out what the modem is doing. I have connected up an old router that alolows me to see that information, and I can get 10 Mb/sec but this often drops to 5 Mb/sec or worse. This older router ner re-trains, it only ever rolls back the speed so I am loath to use it (Also only has slow wireless)
Am I able to see modem statistics on the D6200, I would like to talk to the company that owns my copper in case there is line degradation somewhere, but I would like some hard facts before I go in half hearted?
Many thanks,
Garry

"it"? "Googled"/"searched" for _what_? And now I (with my weak
psychic powers) should know what you found, where?> [...] The only statistics I could find were WAN/LAN not the modem.
What do you think that "WAN" means here?

The lower section of that report ("ADSL Link [...]") refers to the
modem. (I assume that there's something similar for VDSL, but all I've
seen is ADSL.) My D7000[v1] (V1.0.1.70_1.0.1) shows a page very like
that picture in the D6200 User Manual.What, exactly, do you seek which is not shown there?

Where "online"? ("online" is a very big place.) Which "the manual"?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Statistics".Hi,
I have "Googled" it, searched the Netgear community, and looked through the Netgear D6200 User Manual. The only statistics I could find were WAN/LAN not the modem.
