DSL problems with amplification (installing indoor splitter)

Sep 23, 2004 1 Replies

I am having static noise on my line once I installed DSL. Yes I do have filters on all the telephone jacks. My home has a home network box(UStec). and has a telco in and 6 other phone jacks going out. Pac Bell claims that I need to install a splitter since the signal is amplified and when the DSL is on, I hear static on the phone. Ok I am on a budget. I need to find how I can install a indoor filter with no complex wiring. The wire that terminates on the main box already has a RJ31 telephone plug on it. Is there a simple plug and play splitter where I do not need to cut this wire open. Is this how to do it.



Main Line(RJ31 jack) ---- (Ustec box) Telco in - 6 phone outlets



New combination



Main Line ---- Splitter(with female jack) - Phone Line to Telco in and another to DSL modem.



Thanks in advance for the help. Also where can I find such a splitter



In your diagram (New Combination) it looks like you have the DSL filter ahead of the DSL modem. That is not correct. Here is how I do it. Note: there is no filter between the Telco line and the DSL modem. I use only one DSL filter that came with the DSL Installation Kit (AT&T) and feed all of the telephone equipment into that filter.
