BSNL Broadband: Modem restarting every few minutes!

[essbebe]

/members/rkarthea/ Thanks for the response.
Presume second image is continuation . OK>
With SNR 6.7 and Attn 55.5db , no wonder you have problems. "ECG" shows you should be far away from the exchange, and with serious line conditions.!
Suggestion 1: Check your Rj11 cables for oxidisation/corrosion etc. better replace them.
Suggestion 2 : Try different Mod : First try GDMT then ADSl2 . ( now you are in ADSL2+) and also T 413. In particular mod mode connection could be lost.
Suggestion 3 ;Check Bitswap is enabled. ( sometimes helps . no theory please !)
Suggestion 4 : Whether Interleaved or Fast mode. Former preferred.( latter for games )
Suggestion 5 : Use Open DNS 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
Please give feedback.
Target : SNR better or greater than 10 db ( higher the better ) Attn less than 30 db or even lower.

@essbebe
Thanks for the suggestions
Though None of this (listed below as "Will Try") makes sense to me... I'll try to fiddle around and figure it out!

Suggestion 1: Ruled out - New cable
Suggestion 2: Will Try
Suggestion 3: Will Try
Suggestion 4: Will Try
Suggestion 5: Already using OpenDNS

Here's what I tried:
Suggestion 2: Disabled ADSL2, ADSL2+ and T413, Enabled only GDMT, Connection Lost completely.
Enabled ADSL and disabled GDMT - No connection
Enabled GDMT - No COnnection
Enabled only ADSL2 - Router keeps restarting
All other permutation combination - No connection
Suggestion 3: Yes Bitswap is enabled
Suggestion 4:Yet to try, not found the setting yet.

Here is a screenshot of the config page where I adjust these settings:

Enabled everything on this page and Internet is working presently but dunno if the problem still persists.
Will Monitor for a day and revert back.
(Modem restarted as I'm typing this)
So... I think it hasn't worked.

There's something called SRA Enable - Should that be checked or remain at default unchecked?

ive been using the same modem for 3 yrs now, and it was working well. i got home 1350 since the 1st, worked properly for 10 days, then started acting up since sat (that i noticed)... i doubt its problem at my side, probably they messed around with wiring somewhere... even my other main phone line recently has "cross connection" when talking on the phone someone from bsnl called up and said they would change the wiring from their exchange upto my house and it would take 2-3 hours, but there have been a couple of disconnections already tonite and torrent speeds are low (10 to 35 kBps)...

 

[rkarthea]

No problem with speeds for me. Only problem is the frequent disconnection due to the modem restarting. No problem with the connection at all, except this one.:wall:

 

[rishiraj36]

same was the problem since two days but got solved after repeated calling to bsnl personnels

what was the reason for your report??
"Frequent ADSL disconnections?"
I have been having this problem from past 3-4 months
I thought that it was some error on BSNL server but i see that many of you are facing the problem!!:evil:
Will changing the wiring be a solution to this??:wall:

I've noticed a strange problem now: when I start the modem, for the first ten minutes or so, it keeps restarting continuously, after every fifteen seconds of connection; then some time after this, it sort of stabilizes, and then it works alright, and the connection breaks hardly one or two times in maybe an hour. So what is this, the modem needs to heat up or what?

 

[superprash2003]

have you upgraded your firmware by any chance?could be a modem problem.. does it completely restart? like does it show in windows xp that the local area connection is disconnected and then connected immediately? or does the link LED just go off and come back?

Interesting that you mention about the firmware upgrade; yes, I did upgrade it about a month back; it is I think the latest version available; but I thought firmware upgrade was a good thing.

What happens is that I switch on the modem switch; then I manually connect through windows; the connection starts, but after about ten to fifteen seconds, the Link light goes off (the other lights remain stable), then it blinks as it reconnects, and again after fifteen seconds, it goes off. Sometimes it does happen that the entire modem restarts, and its shows that a network connection is unplugged, and the dialog box comes up asking whether it should redial. But I thought this might be due to a loose connection of the plug; this doesn't happen much, maybe once or twice a day.

What does happen all the time is that every time I switch on the modem, it gives a message that it has limited or no connectivity.

SNR is too low.Should be atleast 12 for both. This is the problem with phone line. Also check the ADSL splitter.
