RV134W and up/downlink synchronization

jb · ‎05-30-2017

Hello,

I have replaced a dying ZyXEL VDSL2 router by a RV134W. It seems to run as expected in both IPv4 and v6, but I haven't found in configuration or diagnostic pages any informations about DSL line (S/N ratio, uplink and downlink rate, noise margin...). Are these characteristics available on this router ? If not, it the first router I have without these indications.

My router runs with the last firmware (.29).

Best regards,

JB

Hi,

Have found this also, it's disappointing to not get DSL attainable rates displayed. Here is Australia with VDSL (FTTN/FTTC NBN) connectivity this is the best way of knowing what speed plans you can purchase without wasting your time. (e.g. purchasing 100mbp/40Mbp plans when you can only attain 56/17Mbps)

What I have found is that under Administration > Diagnostics > Network Tools there is a setting to enable "DSL Diagnostics".

However I cannot find any explanation of what it does.

With this enabled, I notice in the logs the following entries:

2018-010-11 2:08:25 PM	warn	kernel: bcmxtmcfg: XTM Link Information, port = 0, State = UP, Service Support = PTM
2018-010-11 2:08:25 PM	crit	kernel: Line 0: VDSL2 link up, Bearer 1, us=0, ds=0
2018-010-11 2:08:25 PM	crit	kernel: Line 0: VDSL2 link up, Bearer 0, us=22600, ds=54999

2018-010-11 2:08:23 PM	crit	kernel: Line 0: VDSL G.993 channel analysis

However, these do appear to be the plan-capped rates for this service. (It's a 50/20Mbps plan) so they are still not RAW attainable speed - and I cannot see a way to view those.
