Detect ADSL2+?

Post by Halloway » Sun Aug 24, 2008 5:55 pm

I am running 2.6 on a Solwise SAR-600EW. My ISP is currently rolling out ADSL2+. Is there anyway within the firmware that I can check whether or not the ADSL2+ has been activated on my line?

TIA,
H.

Unless they connect you to that kit no, it'll be a seperate DSLAM or at the very least seperate line cards so until you are moved from plain old ADSL to one of those there is no way to check. Which ISP? If you are in the UK keep an eye on Samknows, it should indicate when the exchange is upgraded with LLU.

Leave the router on "multimode" and reboot regularly to see if it can connect in 2+!
