FTTC Router Sync Status
This is a table of popular VDSL/FTTC modems and routers and how you can tell if they are in sync or not by looking at the LEDs on the device. You can often gain more information by looking at the diagnostic pages on the router's web interface, but this will help you tell at a glance if the modem is in sync or not.
This can help diagnose a fault, as if the router is not in sync then the problem lies between the router and the your local green cabinet. It could be:
- the router
- the wiring between the router and the main phone socke
- a problem with the actual phone line between you and the cabine
- or even a fault with the cabinet itself.
It does mean though, that the fault is unlikely to be with your computer or your internal network.
