Noisy Phone & Wireless Router

buy a 3.8 phone

I doubt it is RF interference between your ADSL wireless router and the cordless phone. Your ADSL filter may be faulty. If you have a security system you should have an ADSL central splitter installed somewhere in your telephone line. If no security system then there should be an ADSL in-line filter installed between the telephone line input on you cordless base station. Sometimes these filters can go faulty but doesn't stop either the phone or ADSL from working. In some cases, one filter isn't enough to eliminate the ADSL signal from making it into the cordless phone's base station. Try cascading 2 filters. Also some filters don't work properly if connected the wrong way round. Make sure the LINE side is connected to the telephone line and the PHONE side connected to the cordless telephone bas station.

Cheers, Alan

My old uniden phone needed 2 filters in series.

The kitchen phone is where the line comes in off the street. From there it goes to where the PC is located along with wireless router and alarm. Have a 3 socket plate on wall. One for the router, one for alarm (if used) and one for phone lead from PC which I use for faxing.

Line continues and ends at Main bedroom where cordless base is located. Is it too complicated?

Thanks Alan for your help

$25-$30? Ouch! Shop around, you should be able to get them a lot cheaper than that:

Price is not an indicator of usefulness , an example would be the adsl2 filter used by helstra which is close to that price retail and very effective , the dsl1 filter is cheap but obviously wont do the job as well.

All it is, is a fscking low-pass filter! How complicated does it need to be?

Surprising as it is much more complicated than it should be .
