 '''Tweaking the target noise margin'''

The router will drop the connection and reconnect with the new noise margin.

 '''PhyR impulse noise protection'''
-PhyR (pronounced 'fire') is a unique Broadcom technology which improves the router's ability to hold a connection under conditions of high impulse noise. Unfortunately it depends on the DSLAM/MSAN in the exchange also being a Broadcom model, so is not generally useful to every user.
