| 94369 | 2002-10-29 23:05:00 | Hi, Probably a stupid question but i was wondering if i could, instead of getting a filter on every jack in the house for ADSL if i could get the DLINK DSL-10SP www.dlink.co.nz and wired that to the master phone jack if that would work without all the filters. The picture with the DSL-10SP shows it with the other phones not requiring a filter. Or will i be forced to pay $10 a filter? Thanks - David p.s. it is a much cheaper option - about $45 at www.netsol.co.nz and a lot easier than filters... |

| 94370 | 2002-10-29 23:37:00 | I filter all phones with one plug-in filter. I have the incoming line terminated at a single jack (no connections to the rest of the system) near the PC One filter then connects the rest of the system (all phones) A double adapter on the incoming jack feeds the filter and the ADSL router. |

| 94371 | 2002-10-30 08:59:00 | Hi DD,you will usually get a lot better and more stable connection,with this sort of system.The plug in style of filters can end up being more hassle than they are worth at times.If the house has good wiring,and has no burglar alarm or other things across the line,then you may be ok with in line filters,but just this morning I spent 2 hours rewiring this guys house because the in line filters weren't working at all,due to the wiring going all over the place and having an alarm as well.I had to put a proper filter in there,to take out the adsl hiss on his other phones. So,all in all,I say go for the single proper type filter anyday. Peter |

| 94372 | 2002-10-30 19:08:00 | Hi, Hmmmmm i don't have a alarm or sky or anything that would screw up the line. So should i go with the more expensive telecom install, or get that dlink DSL-10SP and wire that up. The dlink filter is heaps cheaper and will probably be just as good. Does anyone know how difficult it is to hook up the DSL-10SP, i have an old house and i think it has 3 wire phone line? or 2, i can't remember, its just that its different to the new stuff. I figure i'll have to run a seperate wire down to the computer and leave the other wires in the 10SP filter. Tell me i'm wrong - David |

| 94373 | 2002-10-30 19:15:00 | Hi Peter, Just on that note. I had a monitored alarm installed after I had adsl. I use inline filters. I advised the technician on this and I had a spare filter which he installed in the alarm system. Is this going to work? When it was first installed (alarm) there seemed to be no problem, but just recently I have been having a few *false* alarms. I have been thinking whether there is a conflict if I have the computer going ( I normally have it on all day) and then I activate the alarm. I have yet to contact the tech about this. Just saw this post and wondered on your view. sam m |

| 94374 | 2002-10-31 20:40:00 | Hi Sam,the dsl shouldn't have any effect on the alarm,in that sense.It is more likely to cause problems for the dsl than the other way around.What is likely to happen is that the dsl could drop when the alarm trys to dial out,and could also drop your connection speed from what it could be,although this is no real concern on a jetstars(128K) connection in most cases.As long as the installer has run the alarn out from an in line filter properly,then it should be OK.
