Phone disconnects my DSL?

Billy3275 · 10-13-2007, 09:17 PM

My 5.8ghz cordless phone is always disconnecting my DSL...Everytime I make a phone call or answer one, the light on the modem blinks red...I have tried 4 different filters for the phone jack and I'm not using a phone jack for my modem. Ever since I moved my internet inside my room, it never stops disconnecting! I never had any problems in the other room. How do I fix it? Please help I don't want to contact my ISP. I have SBC Yahoo DSL. I've already tried to contact them.

You might need better wiring, this seems like it's an issue with phone wiring.

Purchase a DSL splitter and install it at the telco service entrance. Run a direct line from the DSL port on the splitter directly to the DSL modem. Connect all of the other phone instruments to the telephone output of the DSL splitter. All of the DSL analog side wiring should be CAT3 or better twisted pair from the telco service entrance to the DSL/ADSL modem. You can use one of the twisted pairs in CAT5 cable if you have that on hand.

This is as good as it gets for DSL installations, and will usually solve in-house wiring issues.

Here's a good detailed description of the process: DSL Wiring Upgrade Tutorial
