Thanks so much for your reply.

If, as you have stated, the modem is failing to sync there is a fundamental issue at work here, with the modem modulation mode set to "auto" it should sync.
Everything seems to suggest so!

Firstly, what are the line stats with the v120? (I assume you are able to communicate with the modem) it is possible if you are on a marginal line the v120 may be (just) able to sync but the v130 will not. If the line stats are reasonable then it suggests the modem may be faulty.
Try swapping the cable from the telephone socket to the modem as well.
[TBH, if you have a marginal line and want the best speed possible then the v120/v130 may not be the best choice as Draytek's sync strategy seems conservative in these cases. (My ADSL connection is on the wrong end of a very long line from the exchange and I find a Netgear DM111P gives good sync speeds with the added ability to adjust the target snr.)
Well, it can take many minutes for the v120 to sync (I seem to recall that when I first set it up it was more like 10s of seconds) ... if that tells you anything.
Regarding stats, I can see these if I connect my Mac directly to the 120 and raise the connect there. I see "SNR Margin" is 12 ... does that tell you anything?
I have tried swapping the phone cables. Both work with the 120 (so I assume there is no problem there)
It would not surprise me if the problem were due to a poor line. Difficult to demonstrate though, as the response from Zen has been (it's your filtering, wifi, have you tried the "test socket" ... yada yada). ie deflect it anyway than look into the problem
:evil:

VPI/VCI should be set to 0/38, although if wrong I don't think that should stop the modem from syncing.
That is indeed how they are set.

I've already found that, but thanks and thanks again for your help!
