I've just noticed that I am using a different channel form the channel that I used yesterday. I have checked in the router and have found that channel selection is set to automatic.

Any idea what controls which channel the router selects?

Would it be better for me to set the channel manually such that I use a channel that is unused by others. Obviously, I can't control which channels others use.

Thanks.

I use broadband from the cable TV company and don't really know much about DSL. Telephone cables don't carry as wide a frequency range as TV cables so I'm not sure how the data is multiplexed with the audio.

How "active" are the splitters? I suspect they might filter the audio from the data line and vice versa. At the worst it would degrade the data signal when that phone is used, between the router and the Internet provider leading to more retransmission of bad data blocks.

When you say how active are the splitters, I assume that you mean how often are the phones used when the pc's are being used.

Generally, the phones are not used very much. As long as damage cant' be done to pc's, routers, etc. (my main concern)

Thanks for staying with me.

Best wishes.
