Within the NetGear N150 DGN 1000 are four possible settings for DSL Mode:
Auto(Multi-Mode), ADSL(G.MDT), ADSL2 and ADSL2+
Apart from the last two, which are self-explanatory, is there any benefit to be gained from using either of the first two mode settings mentioned?
The default seems to be Auto. So what is ADSL(G.MDT) mode in layman's terms?
That page also links to this graph mapping attenuation to speed, which is a useful indication of what to expect from your line.
[s]Hmmm...[/s]EDIT:
Freeola have a similar graph but I prefer the attenuation figure rather than distance from exchange as this is hard to measure.
Hi DL,
Why isn't the ADSL option as "self-explanatory" as ADSL2 and ADSL2+ ? ;¬)
Thanks for that Hmmm :¬) It was the GDMT bit I was wondering about as 'google' refers to ADSL and ADSL(GDMT) as serarate entities ;¬)

There are a number of modulation standards for ADSL - Wikipedia has lots of info.
I'm guessing Auto will pick the default modulation for your line - so if you were on an ADSL2+ line it would use that.
Having the option to specify the modulation type can sometimes have advantages if you are on a long ADSL2+ line, where you can force ADSL which uses lower frequencies and can help stabilise your connection. Obviously you can only force a lower standard than your line supports. So 'auto' should be picking the fastest option for your line.
