    Well, CRAP. I have two of the previous mentioned DSL modems that are collecting dust. One used, one new.

    Do you have the filters(DSL) hooked up to each phone? Does it do it on all bands? 10 meters eats up TV here.

    Should anybody need the DSL modem that I showed in the picture, let me know. Mi modem(s) es su modems.

    I think 2 or 3 more days of people yelling at me for killing the internet and I'm going to swallow my pride and call the cable company. I wonder if I can buy a better DSL Modem and use it on Frontier's system and find one that is immune to RF.

    Yes, I have the filters on each phone and they are both in other rooms, at the far end of the house (about 40 feet away). And yes on all bands, but nothing else seems to be effected.

    Did you have problems with your modems and RF?

    I'm looking at their site as well as a Westell Forum and I don't see anything that will help.

    I just had a look at some reviews for this modem. It turns out it is a pile of junk. Very poor reviews......

    Phone your company that provided the modem, explain your problem and ask/demand a modem that complies with the code, that is how it works here, on my side of the pond all equipment must comply with the minimum CE code, and withstand 20 volt per meter H.F.
    Some modems here from cable or ADSL can give problems, but cable and ADSL providers will swap them for better ones if costumers complain.
    I caan make 1000 watts in any antenna, with the modem and router 2 feet away from my gear, it's behind the cabinet my hamgear and amplifier is situated in.

    No problems too with neighbous running that power too.
    If you used an dummy load your modem is your problem, so contact the firm that provided it.
