Is there A New Thing That can Interfere With My WIFI ?

wrote: (blah-blah-blah) I forgot one item. My guess(tm) is that you have microfilters scattered around the house to isolate the POTS audio from the DSL tones. That's fine if you use decent filters and have decent inside wiring, which are problematic. So, to avoid the problems caused by plugging the filters in backwards, ratty wiring, missing filters, and noise pickup for light dimmers, AM radio stations, and similar EMI, I suggest you get a whole house DSL filter. I like the Siecor style xDSL outdoor splitters: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Siecor-DSL-Outdoor-Pots-Splitter-Housing-/361886025837 http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/pics/dsl/slides/splitter.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUTTLE-OUTDOOR-XDSL-POTS-SPLITTER/201944066409 Install the box near the MPOE (minimum point of entry) to the POTS line. Run a dedicated pair or CAT5 from this DSL splitter to your DSL modem. Remove all your DSL microfilters.

I had a similar problem with a friend's house in Culver City, CA. You could listen to KHJ at one end of the house and KNX at the other end of the house. Proper wiring solved that. Or if you have a relatively NOT ancient MPOE box, install one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/352026490188 When I moved to Texas, I moved into a 75 year old house. The phone wiring was a mixture of "anything that pours" so to speak, and was a combination of star and daisy chain wiring. I abandoned all of it and ran new Cat5e to a punch down block in a closet. When I switched from cable to AT&T U-Verse, I added the above mentioned MPOE filter. I put the AT&T Modem in a central location so that the WiFi signal was good through the entire house. I used my obsolete stash of Cat3 for the phone lines and Cat5e for the network lines. I did the same thing with my shop down the street. I have zero problems with either the phones or the network.

En el artículo , mike escribió: Not clear from that sentence, but methinks you might have it backwards. No. The line pair is connected straight through to the router (modem). A low-pass filter is used to present the voice frequencies to a POTS device and prevents it interfering with the DSL signal. Yep, and if you'd said that to begin with...clear description... http://tinyurl.com/yafocw6s When you badmouth someone, you should be sure your advice is absolutely correct and stated clearly. Otherwise, you just look... You need to take your own advice. I shan't wait for your apology. |

"Do you have U-Verse (IPDSL) service? " Nope, just simple DSL and a land line which doesn't even have long distance, we use cellphones for that. How do you know your issue is the WiFi and not the DSL. If you connect a computer via Ethernet directly to the router, does it work? I had many intermittent issues with DSL caused by many kinds of electrical interference between me and the central office. DSL used to go out in the evening when the streets lights all fired up. m |

OK - this horse is dead, flayed, flensed, tanned, rendered, dried, peppered, salted and jerked.
For the typical user, the problems described herein would have been solved in less time than the OP took to make the initial post. The less typical user would have taken at least some of the advice given in the first half-dozen (non-snarky) responses and solved the problem within 24 hours. That it has gone on this long indicates that the OP is neither typical, less typical nor even trainable, but a bottomless pit of need without the capacity to understand the actual situation. Ah, well. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

"OK - this horse is dead, flayed, flensed, tanned, rendered, dried, peppered, salted and jerked. "
And it seems to have fixed itself. Connection is solid as a rock now. That leads me to believe that it was interference and whether it was the other or me, something adapted. After all if it interfered with me I probably interfered with it. |

Have you tried going into the WiFi hub's configuration page and changing the
channel number (frequency)? If there is some local interference, you might be able to move to a clear channel. -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ If it wasn't for physics and law enforcement, I would be unstoppable! |

Information like this, however, is wasted on jurb6006 because he already knows everything about everything. Until he doesn't. Then his solution is to put a bullet in it, or blame the government. And almost everyone else here is probably similarly-minded, but just doesn't say so. Sometimes you just have to continue shutting-off and un-plugging things in your house (maybe even elsewhere, too) until you find the interference source. Always get the help-desk operator's name and number and give him/her your's, too (the story then tends to go in your favor drastically) |

Even better is Pratt Lambert but they make mostly bridge paint and **** like that, they might not have your favorite color or texture. And regardless of the brand, who's bothering to strip-down or pressure-wash the surface with soap and water? |
