So before getting an Alix board, you suggest I should first ask Swisscom (via Green) to reduce the rate?
You should have a look at the two following values too:
- Downstream attainable payload rate: - Downstream attainable line rate:
They show the maximum possible transfer rate at the time of the DSL sync. Since a fluctuation of a few MBit/s can be normal for various reasons, your effective downstream rate should be noticeably lower than those maximum values. If the margin is too small, this might indicate that you could get a more stable sync using a lower fixed rate (like 20 mbit/s).
My two lines had to be fixed at 8 MBit/s each to get a stable sync, but they are rock solid (although my usage involves more traffic than multiple connections).
However if a sync issue is the reason for your disconnects, they will show up in your routers logs. If the line stays synced when the timeouts start to appear, the problem might be with your provider or as you suspected, with the P2802.
