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?

What do you think that "WAN" means here?

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?

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.
Many thanks,
Garry

Re: D6200 DSL statistics / connection speed
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
Downstream Data Rate: 1536 Kbps
Upstream Data Rate: 1024 Kbps
Interleave S Downstream: 4
Interleave D Downstream: 16
Interleave R Downstream: 16
Interleave S Upstream: 4
Interleave D Upstream: 8
Interleave R Upstream: 16
Modem Microcode: G96
DSP version: 0
Operating State: Showtime/Data Mode
Configured:
Echo Cancellation: Disabled
Overhead Framing: 3
Coding Gain: Auto
TX Power Attenuation: 0dB
Trellis Coding: Enabled
Bit Swapping: Disabled
Standard Compliance: T1.413
Remote Standard Compliance: T1.413
Tx Start Bin: 0x6
Tx End Bin: 0x1f
Data Interface: Utopia L1
Status:
Local SNR Margin: 31.5dB
Local Coding Gain: 6.5dB
Local Transmit Power: 12.3dB
Local Attenuation: 19.5dB
Remote Attenuation: 17.0dB
Local Counters:

No Cell Delineation Interleaved: 13628416
Out of Cell Delineation Interleaved: 14933760
Header Error Check Counter Interleaved: 13495936
Count of Severely Errored Frames: 13039872

Header Error Check Counter Interleaved: 14120170
Count of Severely Errored Frames: 12286848
Count of Loss of Signal Frames: 12906880
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).
