Model :

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I am wondering why I am getting faster internet connection with the 8901N on the same line. The main difference is annex mode. If I choose annex M on the 8980 I will get constant dropouts. The router would settle with annex A/L. For the 8901N the modem would choose annex M and get about 10% faster internet connection. Shouldnt the W8980 get at least the same speed in internet connection?

Both of the modem router are the latest version with the lastest firmware installed.
This is the status of the 8901N

Can you show SNR parameters from W8980 also?

This is the status page for the W8980 with no drop outs and in Annex A/L
Line Status:Connected
DSL Modulation Type:ADSL_2plus
Annex Type:Annex A/L
Upstream Downstream
Current Rate (Kbps) 888 11772
Max Rate (Kbps) 988 19940
SNR Margin (dB) 10.5 19.7
Line Attenuation (dB) 14.3 25.1
Errors (Pkts) 0 0

I mannaged to grab the Annex M status before it droped out. It will drop out a few seconds after it is connected.
Line Status:Connected
DSL Modulation Type:ADSL_2plus
Annex Type:Annex M
Upstream Downstream
Current Rate (Kbps) 1196 11772
Max Rate (Kbps) 1328 17484
SNR Margin (dB) 29.7 17.9
Line Attenuation (dB) 9.9 27.7

From the status the modem should be able to remain connected with Annex M.
