How many phone jacks do you have?

657202 2008-04-10 03:21:00 I only have one phone jack and it only connected to the modem and phone via an ADSL Line Filter BT + RJ11.

The phone is a cordless 5.8ghz so in theory it should not disturb the wireless router which is using 2.4ghz.

Most likely cause of your problem.

657204 2008-04-10 09:21:00 Are you saying the problem is with modem itself? It is a pretty old modem.
Any suggestion on a good modem? Preferably ones that cost less than $100.
Cheers.

I had a similar problem with my Dynalink.
I emailed the with prob and is was sorted by downloading new firmware.
So may pay to ask D-Link for there opinion.

657207 2008-04-10 12:25:00 First place to start - unplug every other device from the phone line leaving only the ADSL modem connected - Don't forget sky decoder if you have sky digital, faxes, answer machine etc
Test and see if you still have the problem.
If you have a monitored alarm then this won't be possible but then you should have a master splitter installed and don't need filters on all the phones/fax/sky decoder.
