Rich Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 I have a wireless ADSL modem/router and I can get it working fine on one extension but not another, the difference with the other socket is that in the past it had been set up for ISDN, It works fine for the phone but I believe its causing problems for the ADSL connection, can anyone shed some light on this please.
Smart Electrics Posted October 6, 2004 Posted October 6, 2004 When you say ISDN was it BT ISDN highway and does the socket look like an RJ45 or PSTN type if it is pstn check your wiring 2 Blue 3 Orange 5 white/Blue and the same at the other end. Now check your dial tone press a digit like 1 and listen in, if no noises can be heard all ok but if you hear the sound of frying bacon you have got problems if the cable in use has more than 4 prs change them around without using the existing prs already used. If this still does not work then change the Line Jack. I have come across a few line jacks that do not work on ADSL services. If you need any more help give me a call
Rich Posted October 6, 2004 Author Posted October 6, 2004 Alistair It is a BT ISDN Highway, Cost £90 to have it removed apparently. Also it is a pstn connection I will check the connections tomorrow and let you know how i get on.

Rich Posted October 7, 2004 Author Posted October 7, 2004 The Highway was removed some time ago, but the junction box it used is still there and looking like half connected still.
Smart Electrics Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Does the NTE face plate have home highway on it or somthing like that. If it does ile send you a new NTE face plate that is standard PSTN type
Rich Posted October 8, 2004 Author Posted October 8, 2004 Thanks for the replies Alistair The nte faceplate was a standard one, The problem was with the cable to the fax machine, one with a piggy back plug for putting a phone into it too, I tried changing the adapter and also using a microfilter combination but it still wouldnt work, I have removed the fax from that socket and now the ADSL connection seems fine, Do you know what I can use in place to be able to connect the router and the fax to the same socket without it killing the adsl signal?
