| 415727 | 2005-12-25 20:59:00 | My friend's new house has only 1 phone jack & that is in the kitchen. From there, he runs one 20 meter extension cable to his room & one to the lounge. ADSL works fine in the lounge, but in his beedroom, it doesn't even detect that ADSL is enabled on the line. I have tried using his extension cord, his modem & his filter in the lounge & it works fine. Hes not filtering the ADSL (anymore - that was the first thing I fixed). Something must be causing interference. The cable to his room goes through the laundry. Can anyone think what might be the problem? It's got me completely stumped. |

| 415729 | 2005-12-25 21:52:00 | I haven't managed to talk them into buying a router & network cable. They have 2 of those free modems & they just have one computer at a time online. | Greven (91) | ||
| 415730 | 2005-12-25 22:51:00 | In the States, ADSL was wired to particular jacks, since some were "fully wired", with all four wires, but many were using just two wires. Different standard, so probably not applicable. | kingdragonfly (309) | ||
| 415731 | 2005-12-25 22:59:00 | I presume the phone works in the bedroom and you can't hear static on the line ! Have you tryed another extension cable to the room ? The 2 to 1 phone jack plug is not one of those that cuts off 1 line when the other is in use?, and or try another one. Is it the same PC/Laptop he uses in both rooms?, |

| 415732 | 2005-12-26 03:32:00 | There is a little bit of noise on the line, but I wouldn't expect it to be enough to screw up the ADSL completely. I haven't tried the other extension cable because I thought his cable working in the lounge was proof enough it wasn't the cable that was the problem. It is a different computer in each room, but even if that is screwing up the settings, shouldn't it still detect that the line is ADSL enabled? |

| 415733 | 2005-12-26 04:53:00 | from my own experience.....if you have two adsl modems you CANNOT get online with one if the other is plugged in.........never mind if it's off.........it's gotta be UNPLUGGED........ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 415734 | 2005-12-26 05:19:00 | Uh OK seems like drcspy's onto it. I was going to suggest swapping the entire system round and see if works in the bedr but not in the lounge. | mark c (247) | ||
| 415735 | 2005-12-26 05:22:00 | I also heard that two adsl devices on the same line will interfer with each other. | beama (111) | ||
| 415736 | 2005-12-26 05:24:00 | I'm fairly sure he unplugged the phone cable to the modem. He said he did the same as he used to do at his old house & he never had any problems there. I'll get him to try all his parent's stuff in his room. I've already tried all his stuff in the lounge. |
