Re: DSL problems caused by your own lighting (Dimmer Switches)

Firstly, if the dsl dis-sync of the modem is caused by the dimmer switch, I would have to buy a new dimmer switch with RFI/EMI function for the modem to "adapt" to my dimmers?

Secondly, my telephone wiring is more than 15 yrs now (2007) and I assume that it is now twisted/shielded PSTN/RJ11/CAT1 wires. Would that affect/cause interference to my ADSL2 modem? Would you recommend for a change?

Thanks in advace

Yes.

To prevent the switch from interfering with your DSL.

It probably _is_ standard twisted-pair telephone wiring.

What might help your DSL is to run a new dedicated high-grade cable (preferably CAT5) from a high-grade DSL splitter at the demarc to your DSL "modem". That avoids any problems from your home phone wiring and eliminates the need for micro-filters on all phone outlets (but not RFI filters on dimmers).

Hi

How about changing the ADSL2+ Modem to DLink or Linksys ADSL2+ Modems? I currently using Speedtouch 536v6 given by my ISP. Would it solve the DSL Problem without changing the dimmer switch?

Next, I also realise that street lamps affect DSL Sync? I am staying at an high-rise apartment. Does street lamps affect DSL Sync no matter how high you live in an apartment?
