Thank you ever so much for your response.

Replies as follows:-

1. Correct - no DSL light

2. DSL line plugged in

3. Status screen showing exactly as per your screen shot below - DSL Disconnected

I think the issue may be somethinng to do with the line adaptor; the unit came with a german phone socket however to use it in France I am using an RJ45 line into a box which plugs into the french phone socket. I have taken the box apart and insie it is simply cable connections - no filter as far as I can see.

At present we have reconfigured the unit as a router only and we are using the original and rather antiquated modem to supply connectivity to it, but would much prefer to get it up and running as a modem router as I suspect this will drastically improve line reliability and speed.

Hope these comments address your points? Anything else that I can try to do you think please?

Many thanks,

Simon
