Have you ever wished you had a permanent log or graph of your line stats from your router? To do so normally involves setting up MRTG which isnt for the faint hearted, and often involves some perl scripting.

RouterStats

Anyhow I came across a great little tool on the net which allows you to monitor line stas from some routers. The tool was originally developed for the Netgear DG834(G), but according to the author can also be configured to work on the following routers

• Belkin F5D7630-4A (UK)
• Draytek Vigor 2600G
• Linksys WAG54G
• Linksys HG200
• Speedtouch 510 v4 (Firmware 4.3.2.6) (Works partly. Rx Noise and Rx Sync OK)

Although I use MRTG, thought I'd have a look at the tool and I managed to get it working on a Voyager 2100, and it should work on most routers if your line stats are created on a flat html page. Even though the Voyager uses frames, with a little bit of detective work its should be easy enough for you to find out the actual page url.
