| 1133840 | 2010-09-02 04:45:00 | I have 2 Telecom boxes in our house, 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the bedroom. We have nothing in the box in the bedroom.In the kitchen we have a new Panasonic cordless phone and a DLINK Wireless router. I have 1 filter in this box with the phone and the router plugged into it. We use 2 laptops to connect to the Internet both wireless. My question is how important is the filter? The filter I am using is like 5 years old so I would like to replace it what should I get? Cheers. |

| 1133841 | 2010-09-02 04:51:00 | I guess by telecom boxes you mean phone jacks? Why replace the filter if still working? |

| 1133842 | 2010-09-02 05:24:00 | Yes the phone jacks. Well we are having far too many line drops requiring re boots so I want to start there. We may need a new router but I want to start with a new filter. The line drops have only started in the last 2 months. No problem with the laptops at work. I want to strat with the cheaper option then if that does not improve get a new router. Cheers. |

No need to replace it, they don't wear out or lose efficiency, they either work or they don't. If it is working, leave it alone. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1133845 | 2010-09-02 05:58:00 | Why don't you unplug the phone and filter, plug in your router directly and see if you still get dropouts. That will tell you if you have a filter problem. | PPp (9511) | ||

Easier way to test it, unplug everything except the modem, and see if the drop outs continue or not. |
