What should line attenuation be?

What should line attenuation be?

The higher the dB value is, the better your line will be, as the signal strength outperforms the noise. Typical values are: 10dB and lower is bad. 11db – 20dB is OK.

How can I improve my DSL line attenuation?

Luckily, there are some things you can do to improve the SNR margin: Buy a router that is good enough to manage low SNR margin figures. Install a good quality ADSL filter to your router and to each phone device installed on the same line. Try to change the ADSL provider, as some providers are less crowded than others.

How do you find line attenuation?

How to find my signal attenuation, SNR and sync speed ?

1. Find your router’s IP – type ipconfig in command prompt and note the IP address value listed as the “Default Gateway”.
2. Connect to your router’s admin interface – type your router’s IP address into the address field of your web browser.

Is attenuation good or bad?

The greater the attenuation in a circuit, then more signal will be lost. So lower attenuation cable is always better but it comes at a price. Designers must make tradeoffs between cost, availability and “good enough” designs that make sense for everyone. However, not all attenuation is bad.

What should the line attenuation be for ADSL?

Optimal values should be between 5 and 30 dB (excellent or good line). An attenuation value of 45 dB or higher means that the line is not suitable for use with ADSL.

What does attenuation mean on a modem?

We have an extensive database of modems/routers with their corresponding IP addresses and default passwords available -here-. Attenuation is the reduction in signal strength on your line, sometimes also refered to as “loop loss”.

What does it mean to have two sets of signal attenuation?

Routers that display two sets of attenuation figures are usually reporting the Signal Attenuation and Line Attenuation. Line (or Loop) Attenuation is an average of all the tones available for use in the relevant dsl spectrum – regardless of if the tones are in use or not.

What does line attenuation in Gerneral mean?

Line Attenuation. In gerneral, attenuation is the loss of signal over distance. Unfortunately, dB loss is not just dependent on distance. It also depends on cable type and gauge (which can differ over the length of the cable), the number and location other connection points on the cable.
