712389	2008-10-15 04:03:00	One of our employees who works from home uses a DSL-302g router. On Sunday the status and ADSL lights went out and the router stopped working. She rang her ISP and had to plug and unplug cables, reboot, change cables, etc. and eventually got it going again. All was well Monday, and then at about 4pm Tuesday the same thing happened. She repeated all the unplugging etc. to no avail. She rang the ISP again and was told that she needed new filters. About 7pm it started working again of its own accord. She doesn't want to have to take a 40 minute drive and spend money on new filters if there's a chance that that's not the problem. However, she did notice today that the router dropped out when someone rang her. Has the ISP got it right? Thanks :)	CTP22 (5754)

(thats if there is any) if no crackle then you dont need the filters . Fixed many a connection that way and it works fine .	wainuitech (129)

Get them to see how warm it feels when the connection drops, you may be surprised :)	Chilling_Silence (9)
