1186958 2011-03-18 05:13:00 Update the modem's/router firmware. Or see if any version of the firmware fixes the prob/s youre having Speedy Gonzales (78)
1186959 2011-03-20 06:34:00 My money says overheating. Where is it physically located. What happens if you direct a fan at it so it blows cool air over the top? Chilling_Silence (9)
1186960 2011-03-20 07:14:00 The old Dlink I had with Xnet kept disconnecting when I changed to Telstra. It was fine when I was on Xnet

Dont know if its more sensitive to line noise or what, but it wouldnt stay connected either (once I changed to Telstra).

Maybe it got a shock with the diff in speed or something.

I was on a DSL1 plan then and Telstra is DSL2. Even tho the modem supported DSL2+.

I had to use the modem I got with Telstra (even tho its only got 1 port) and no wireless (not that I used wireless anyway).

I just connected a GB switch to it

1186961 2011-03-20 07:24:00 We have four phone jacks........... Every phone jack has a filter on it. One thing I have noticed is when the phone is left on the internet doesn't turn off
Maybe this'll help point you in the right direction (I suspect you've got line loading/capacitance problems (basically too many phones/jacks/filters), get a phone installation specialist to help).

good question ...

The capacitors built into the microfilters are typically 22nF (0.000000022pF) and are part of a band pass circuit. As such they are designed, along with coils to present an impedance of 600 Ohms back to the telephone line whilst passing the voice component of the line (300 - 4000 Hz.).

Compare this to the capacitor built into the master socket. This is rated @ 1.8mF (0000018F). It is by comparison far larger and has no line balancing circuitry associated with it.
Thus sticking two in Parallel is going to cause some major issues for a broadband signal. The microfilter is designed to operate against an input capacitance of 1.8mF, instead you present it with 3.6mF

The impedance matching circuitry in the microfilter is now severely compromised and signal loss will result.

You rightly pointed out that up to four microfilters can be connected across one line. That is 4 X 0.22nF = 0.88nF Still less than 1.8mF
Add one more in and the result is 5 X .22 = 1.1mF, and the signal is starting to struggle.
