When looking at your line stats you cant just rely on one particular aspect and you have to look at all of the figures to get an overall picture of how your line is performing.
The site contains information about what the important figures such as attenuation and SNR Margin mean and also an overview of line stat figures you may see and an explanation of line stat errors.
It can take a while to understand and be able to "read" router linestats, so if you are having difficulties or wish to ask any further questions, please feel free to post them on the forum.
Click on the relevant link to reveal how to get your stats.

How to tell if the connection is interleaved
Open a command line window and type:
telnet 192.168.1.254
Enter the admin password when asked.
You will see a prompt which says 'router>'. Type the following:
wan adsl chandata
The response will be similar to this:
router> wan adsl chandata
near-end interleaved channel bit rate: 6368 kbps
near-end fast channel bit rate: 0 kbps
far-end interleaved channel bit rate: 448 kbps
far-end fast channel bit rate: 0 kbps
from which you can see that this connection is interleaved.
Type exit to close the telnet session.

BT Openreach FTTC modems
BT Openreach are currently supplying 2 different modems for VDSL(2) FTTC services.
Unfortunately both the Huawei and ECI models are locked and there is no 'out of the box' solution to get line stats for your FTTC connection.
It is possible to unlock the Openreach branded Huawei HG612 .
See Unlocking the Huawei HG612 for more information.
Whilst it is not impossible to hack the ECI modem, this does involve a much more complicated procedure - which certainly isn't for the faint hearted.
For more information see discussions on the forum.

Notes on the DG834(G).
v1 and v2 are based on the TI (Texas Instruments) AR7 ADSL chipset.
v3 is based on a different TI AR7 chipset and has different firmware.
v4 has a broadcom chipset (BCM6348 V0.7). As such firware versions are also different.
v5 uses a Conexant chipset (CX94610).
New firmware released Feb 2007. - Bug fixes in DG834 and DG834G Release Version 3.01.31_UK/3.01.32 software, which cures the frequent drop outs. More info.
Netgear owners may also be interested in a nice little tool called RouterStats for monitoring their SNR Margin.

Sagem F@st 800-840
The "official" instructions are:-
1. Click on the Windows "Start" button - this will then present you with the Start Menu.
2. Select "Programs" - you will be presented with the list of programs on your computer, select "‘Sagem F@0st 800-840" and then from the sub-menu that appears, select "DSLMON".
3. This will bring up a small screen with the DSL status showing "transmit" and "receive" rates.
4. While this screen is visible, on your keyboard hold down the "‘Alt" key and then press the letter "d".
Current attenuation is shown in the "Attenuation" field, current signal-to-noise is shown in the "Margin" field.
The following information is available:-
~ Basic stats showing speed along with downstream attenuation and margin in top box.
~ Advanced tab with error counters and margin of both upstrea and downstream.
~ Bin plot showing bits allocated to each frequency band. You have to press Reload to get the graph and it takes a while to arrive, so be patient
~ SNR plot showing the margin in each frequency band.
(Images kindly provided by Yarwell.)
You may not be able to access the modem stats because the diagnostics software has not been installed.
If this is the case then you will need to re-install the drivers, - to do this follow the instructions below which have kindly been provided by Yarwell.
Install the diagnostic Tools (DSLMon)
If they are not enabled, a re-install is called for.
First remove the USB modem drivers using the Start menu sagem F@st 800-840 entry Uninstall.
Unplug the modem then make a copy of the files off the drivers CD - I found you only need the files in the root directory, leave the folders behind (mainly Acrobat in 10 languages). Put them on a memory stick or in a folder on your hard drive.
Next edit the file SETUP.INI with Notepad, look for the entry :-
;InstallDSLTest is a flag for installing the DSL test software.
;1: Install DSLTest
;0: does not Install DSLTest (Default)
InstallDSLTest=0 <
and change the last 0 to a 1.
Save the file and then run setup.exe from the same folder to install the drivers with the diagnostics. Now Alt+D will pop up a window.

You need to install "Dr SpeedTouch". Unfortunately Thomson/speedtouch seem to have removed their download link, but you should be able to install it from the installation cd that came with your modem. DSLDepot have a copy available for download here
Install the program and run "Diagnostics".
Right Click the icon in your system tray >>
Advanced >>
"Write log to disk"
Now open the log file in IE (its in .xml format so you may have to use IE to open it).
You should now be able to see your line stats amongst a lot of other information.
Sometimes Dr ST may throw an error saying that its been unable to complete all checks but it should still output the linestats information that you need.
The stats you are looking for are:-
ReceiveAttenuation_dB=
ReceiveMargin_dB=
SendAttenuation_dB=
SendMargin_dB=
It is recommended that you close the program after you have finished as it can be quite resource hungry.
(Thank you to secret and banger for passing me the Dr Speedtouch link
Thanks also go to TriGGa who was one of the first to make this info available).
Important Information for users of the Speedtouch 330 on DSLMax
Some older versions may be set by default is set to a maximum speed of 4Mbps. To support the higher speeds you need to download and install new drivers available from Speedtouch.

If you have a router which doesn't provide line stats, most routers do have the facility to provide SNMP information. In which case you may have some luck with MIB Browser.
ske1fr has provided a tutorial here how to use SNMP and MIB browser.
This term dates back to the early days of adsl, and particularly to 2003/2004 when your attenuation reading decided whether you could get adsl, or if BT would allow you to have a 1Mb or 2Mb connection.
Back then few people had routers and most people were supplied a speedtouch 330 which affectionately became known as "the Frog". This page originally started off as a permanent record on how to get your linestats from "the frog". Over the years it has grown to include most of the commonly used routers. Details are now held in a database and generated dynamically, but the name remains the same :)
