Please log in for more thread options I'd like to go from the phone modem to my patch panel and distribute the line to multiple rooms. I had this up and running for a while, no problems. Recently, I started losing my dialtone. I had a service rep out a couple of times, replaced the modem and had several "debug" discussions on the phone with Time/Warner. The net of all this is "Time/Warner doesn't support..." my configuration. I assume there needs to be some boosting of the signal from the modem in order to travel all those extra miles of CAT-5 ;-) Any ideas how I can do this and make it reliable? Thanks, mitch | |||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options So their argument is that they offer "home phone service", attempting to compete with traditional analog telephone, but only to ONE HANDSET? I didn't bother to wire this house for telephone. I use Uniden cordless units with chargers sprinkled around the house and a single base station. Even if you only did this for half of your phones, you might reduce the load on the modem. | |||||||||||||||||||

You might try a long loop adapter which boosts the loop and ring voltages. This one seems to always be on sale: http://www.sjtelecommunications.com/vik-lla-1.html There are similar products that boost only the loop voltage or only the ring voltage. They generally cost less.
