| 1398208 | 2015-04-07 08:46:00 | Hey i have been noticing from a long time when more than one device uses the internet via wireless I get a time out or a network error . Lookng at the device i found my ps3 is affected by it , when im using the internet via wireless it does'nt cause much problem which i mean a time out or network error. When someone in my house uses a wired internet connection then it gives me an error . If i had to say there seems to be a network congestion and so if im right can anyone help me out to fix this . I found from net adding a second access point can help like a router . Im with spark as an internet service provider . Thanks |

| 1398209 | 2015-04-07 09:02:00 | Got another modem/Router you can try with, sounds a bit like the problem could be the router. Doubt is your actual internet connection. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1398212 | 2015-04-12 03:10:00 | Hey wainuitech i did manage to grab my old thomson modem TG585 , now im not planning to just take it out and replace it with the thomson which is the old one . This is just my way i want it to work . So i have got two modem/router currently with me which at the moment the thomson is not connected to the internet but the huawei is . I did test thomson which works fine only two lights are seen power and the wifi, since it is not connected to wall with a cable and adsl filter the lights don't come up and so that means not connected to internet . Now at the moment i don't have a spare adsl filter so i want it to make a connection where the two are linked to each other where i mean like like joining something with something and so i hope it improves my network issue . I do'nt know if this can happen but thats my thinking . If u can advise me on this that i would appreciate too . Thomson+Huawaei Thanks |

| 1398213 | 2015-04-12 03:29:00 | Putting a second Router in line with the existing wont actually do much. You cant have two adsl modems/routers doing the exact same connection at the same time. The suggestion of trying another router is only to test to see if the router is the cause. By having the original still in place, if its the cause then the problem will still exist. If you use the old one and the problem goes away then the fault is somewhere with the other router. If the problem is still there then its some place else. Its a process of elimination to see where its faulting. Bit like changing two items at the same time, lets say the spark plugs and leads on your car to cure a mis-fire the problem may be fixed, but what was the cause, plugs or leads ? |

| 1398214 | 2015-04-12 04:01:00 | hey ok have u got any spare adsl filters | AppleFan (17097) | ||
| 1398215 | 2015-04-12 04:27:00 | hey ok have u got any spare adsl filters You dont actually need filters for a test. One of the "tests" many ISP's tell you to do is to remove the filter and plug the modem directly into the phone socket. ( this tests to see if its the filter playing up - another "link" in the chain that breaks) Basic explanation: If you dont have a adsl filter you may get "noise /crackles" on your phone as its at a higher frequency than normal phone frequency. This is why (unless its obvious) when testing a connection, the ISP can check the lines and connections to your place but to actually test the equipment you start at the Phone Socket/ Filter/ Phone cable/Modem/Router, changing one thing at a time and see if theres any improvement. |

| 1398216 | 2015-04-12 06:07:00 | Hey wainuitech yes i have been through have a noise/crackles on the phone which is why i need a adsl filter to prevent it , i didnt't know until spark told me . So thats why i asked for a filter because the cable directly from modem/router will not connection straight to phone line jacket point . It needs filter . Is there any way from windows settings or any software which can help me make my thomson act as a router where i don't need any wires like adsl filter or cables . Please i know you are good at things so you can help me save some money . Thanks |

| 1398217 | 2015-04-12 06:48:00 | I dont know the thomson settings, but I do know they are not exactly to plain to follow, its as if the manufactures went out of their way to confuse people. Maybe someone can answer your question who has a thomson. BUT what you are really asking is to disable the routing on one modem/router and use it only as a modem while using the other as a router only. That on its own can open a can of worms to get them working together. it still wont test the original modem/router, you really need to take it out of the loop to see if it is or isn't the problem. What you need is the phone cable, they are about $5 6376 |
