Your dsl provider should provide a filter. �If you can put it on the
telephone line where it enters your house, on your side of the network
protection/demarcation point, you can split the data and phone lines
right there, and then use the old telehone distribution lines thruout
the house, and route the DSL tap whrever you want it. �THe DSLfilter/
lack of filter connection by itself cannot add static, but if the data
line is not good, it can add static to the main line. �You really have
to start trouble-shooting at the house side of the network interface
point and work from there.

Having worked for AT+T Bell Labs for 44 years, I have trouble-shot
lots of interesting problems, and step-by-step from the access point
is the best way to go.
