    This is very odd. Looking into my ASDL Connection problems
    Hi, I posted on here before about an intermittent connection

    I'm using a neat gear router with two hardwired computers connected All computers lost connection, most the time the router didn't actually get disconnected, but I lost connection on the PC but sometimes it fully lost connection and had to reconnect,

    Today I noticed my Line attenuation was very high so I rewired my phones lines as its on a hardwired extension, this new wiring system did reduce the attenuation somewhat but I'm still losing connection

    How ever... I just noticed this


    ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
    Connection Speed 576 kbps 288 kbps
    Line Attenuation 57 db 15.5 db
    Noise Margin 3 db 9 db

    With this I have a good connection, everything works fine, then suddenly this happened

    ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
    Connection Speed 576 kbps 288 kbps
    Line Attenuation 57 db 15.5 db
    Noise Margin 2147483644 db 9 db

    Low and behold, the line drops, fully this time... Now correct me if I'm wrong but 2147483644 db is a HECK of allot of noise. So what on earth is causing this??

    As far as I know its nothing in my house, as I even connected my router to the master phone socket and it still does it.

    Is there some sort of massive pulsing magnetic field in my house or this there another cause? :p

    Any ideas would be much appreciated as this is driving me mad

    Many thanks ;)

    Un plug anything plugged into phone line. Phone, Fax, Answering Machine. Maybe shut down all electronics. Also try one computer at a time.The other, turned off. If gone, slowly add things. Have you tried without the router?
    Also could be telco problem

    With an attanuation like that I'm surprised you can get a connection at all.

    You may need to get tiscalli involved with this issue.
    Sometimes it can be fixed by getting BT to increase the gain on your line, basically upping the signal strength.
    What type of phone socket do you have?
    The newer ones you can remove the bottom of the face plate and connect directly into the test socket behind.
    This is always worth a try before anything else.
    This means you are connected directly to the phone line with NO extensions.

    As suggested at by stratmando, make sure ALL active sockets have a filter on them.
