ADSL to ADSL2+ configuration
Hey guys,
Can someone who has done the ADSL -> ADSL2+ transition tell me, do I need to do anything special on my ADSL2+ modem (configuration wise) when I have the ISP switch me from ADSL to ADSL2+?
I just requested the changed from Internode, and it doesn't say I need to, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks.

no problems here. i was nervous because i read my router/modem wouldnt work on adsl2. but thats only because mine can only do upto 8000kbps.
since my adsl2 is only 1500k it's a'ok.
when you request a change and they change it over, it'll just connect at the new speed next time it disconnects or if you do it manually

It's been nice, chaps.

I can't see anything along these lines.SHoNKY wrote:The only change you may need to do is select an ADSL2 or ADSL2+ profile in the configuration if the router has this option.
I know most of the Billion routers require this as they are shipped set to ADSL(1) by default.
My modem is a Linksys WAG54Gv2

I have played with a Linksys ADSL2+ modem.... and there wasn't anything special that I remember...
It got a sync speed of 19Mb down.... which was quite impressive. Fairly close to the exchange. It was solid tho, didn't go down in 3 months with a shitload of traffic.
I've been using a billion on ADSL2+ for some time now and was getting 17Mb down at my old place. Moved house and only getting 6Mb now Too far from the exchange.

ive got a WAG54G, the only thing i needed to do from ADSL to ADSL2+ was to use my ISP's page to change my speed (iinet)
ive had some small issues with discos every now and then, and using a setting it automatically reconnects itself rather than you having to do it (its towards the bottom of the first setup page) you hardly notice.
i get the odd disco in LFS, but it doesnt happen often, and if it comes to it, a quick reboot usually does the trick
the linksys one shits all over a D-Link DSL-G604T, thing couldnt last 1 hour without disconnecting for me, 3 returned modems, and about 3 hours on the phone with them, ended up going about 3 levels up the food chain and giving some poor bloke a spray before i got my refund...

Thanks guys for the input. I saw them do the quick change to the 1500/256 this morning (as I am on a Telstra DSLAM right now), and I should get migrated to the 'node DSLAM soon for the full 2+ experience.

ADSL 2+ upload speed is pretty poor if you ask me, no increase over the 1Mbit you get with plain ol ADSL. Don't get me wrong it's great compared to the old max of 256 you'd get with standard ADSL here but when you consider downloads are potentially three times as quick it's not so great. I get 7Mb/1Mb with my ADSL1 modem and I'm only upgrading it cause a mate is buying it, otherwise there just isn't much point at this time.
