| 1222535 | 2011-08-20 01:53:00 | Um, no. My brother still had his old ADSL 1 modem, then they upgraded, his speeds were still as they were until he changed it. ADSL2+ modems will do ADSL 1 also. So invest in one. |

So invest in one. He was asking about the filters not the modem. He has just got an ADSL2+ modem. Tony - current filters will be fine when you get upgraded to ADSL2 but if you get any problems just replace them with the new ones. |

| 1222537 | 2011-08-20 03:59:00 | Back when I was on ADSL1 I got an increase from 1.6Mbit to around 3.2Mbit just by replacing the old D-Link filters (that came with my Telecom-supplied DSL-302G) with some new DSE ones from... DSE. Whether the D-Link filters had gone bad, were just crap to start with, or incompatible in my situation I don't know, but I was quite surprised at the difference! |

| 1222539 | 2011-08-20 06:11:00 | What you're talking about there is usually referred to as a 'central splitter' or just 'splitter' - I also have one of these myself. The separate devices that plug into the phone jack are generally called "filters". In any case the two are not (easily) interchangeable and no, you would not (and should not) be using any of the filters that came with your new router if you already have the splitter. |

Will I need to do anything with the central splitter? | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1222541 | 2011-08-20 11:03:00 | Replying to your question on turning off wifi in your other thread, you need to uncheck the box here (WLAN light should be off). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1222542 | 2011-08-20 11:11:00 | Ah, good stuff. Interesting - I thought I'd done that, but I just checked, and it was still enabled! Turned off now, though. Thanks. |

There should be no problem really. The filter\splitter etc is only really there to prevent the high frequency DSL signal from coming through to your phone and causing interference. In most of the devices, the DSL is connected straight to the phone line anyway, and the telephones are the only ones to get any filtering treatment. Apparently some of them (www.geekzone.co.nz) may have a high pass filter on the DSL side but this would seem to be the exception. I would forget about it, unless of course you have major issues after the switch to ADSL2+ |
