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 train...

   "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?

   Page 93:

      > To show the connection statistics:

         1. Select Advanced > Administration > Router Status.

         2. Click Show Statistics.

   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?

Hi,

Show statistics is indeed the option I needed. I had tried it earlier, but I was expecting a lot more DSL information so I blindly overlooked it.

While it isn't super informatrive, it does give me enough to talk to the line company.

Many thanks, sorry that I bothered the forum with something that was in front of me all along.

And thanks for the very prompt replies!!

     I'm with you there. On my old Cisco 678, for example:
  
  cbos>show interface wan0
  
  wan0   ADSL Physical Port
         Line Trained
  Actual Configuration:
  Overhead Framing: 3
  Trellis Coding: Enabled
  Standard Compliance: T1.413

  Interleave S Downstream: 4
  Interleave D Downstream: 16
  Interleave R Downstream: 16
  Interleave S Upstream: 4
  Interleave D Upstream: 8
  Interleave R Upstream: 16

     Sadly, when I upgraded my (Qwest/CenturyLink) service above 1.5Mb/s,
  the otherwise-satisfactory Cisco 678 couldn't keep up. It said:
  
  Downstream Data Rate: 7168 Kbps
  Upstream Data Rate: 896 Kbps
  
  but the observed downstream speed was only about half that.
  
     This lead to a succession of Netgear products (all of which had/have
  more firmware bugs than the Cisco 678, and no supported command-line
  interface).
