| 1132919 | 2010-08-30 01:22:00 | Every time the phone rings the internet disconnects. We're using a splitter but every time the phone rings the internet disconnects (wireless and lan). Any ideas? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1132920 | 2010-08-30 01:39:00 | There will be a filtering issue. You must have a line filter on every used jackpoint in the house. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1132921 | 2010-08-30 01:55:00 | Easy - don't answer the phone :) :) | Zippity (58) | ||

You need a splitter on EVERY jack with a phone, alarm, or sky connection, not just the one with the internet jack! If all are jacks split, then one of them is faulty! |

| 1132924 | 2010-08-30 03:12:00 | Do I need one on every jack point or just the one with the modem and phone? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1132925 | 2010-08-30 03:19:00 | Every point that has anything plugged into it. Sky, monitored alarms, phones... We've said that at least twice... :p |

| 1132926 | 2010-08-30 03:28:00 | Actually, I think we are all getting confused on the wording.....Im just as bad....A line filter is required on any jack that has a device plugged in, a splitter is installed by a telephone technician and splits the signal for the whole house.....so the OP needs to confirm what is installed, a line filter or a splitter! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1132927 | 2010-08-30 03:51:00 | Actually, I think we are all getting confused on the wording..... Yes. Filters are the little gadgets you plug into the jackpoint. Splitters are a device they install to split the signal - broadband on one jackpoint only - and phone only on all the rest. If it's a splitter some tech would have installed it. Get him back. If it's filters, start swapping them out one by one to find the faulty one. I thought all us techy types knew the difference. |

| 1132928 | 2010-08-30 03:57:00 | 9 times out of 10 when someone asks me for a splitter it turns out they want a filter anyway, I do know the difference. :p But you and Sol may well be right in this case, we will have to wait for icow to let us know what type he is talking about. |
