I signed up with BE a few months ago, so very much a BE newbie. I live miles away from my exchange and have been trying to improve my sync and speed. I am still trying to improve things, I have done all the usual things. Bought a HQ face plate and updated to the uber firmware on my DG834GT. I thought it might help if I shared any tips or tricks I have found for these routers. RouterStats V2.7i I found this useful utility on the net. It monitors, logs and graphically shows sync, SNR etc. Fantastic little program which saves messing about going into the routers admin section. URL: http://vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm
