have you since installed anything in the house that runs from your phone line, eg sky? This causes "noise" on the line. When I connected up for the first time, I had to disconnect my sky+ phone line and my multi-room phone line for it to work. worked fine then.
Some ISPs specify in their terms and conditions that they will not support certain setups involving phone connected house alarms and possibly other gadgets. Check yours in case this is the case.Eircom won't escalate my fault report until I get a technician out to disconnect the sky and the alarm (and pay them €69 a go for the privilege).
Good luck if you think that IBB will be any sort of improvement based on my experience!Methinks that if this problem doesn't resolve itself soon I'll be making enquiries with Irish Broadband.
We've had broadband (from eircom) for over a year now and it has always worked fine. Now, out of the blue, we're having problems (no connection).
As far as I can make out, it seems to be a DSL problem - the "DSL sync" light isn't lit up any more, and when I run the Netopia diagnostic utility it says that the DSL sync has failed.
I'm not a techie, but that suggests to me that there's a problem with the phone line. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks!
I've posted about this before if you want to search for relevant posts. It is possible to mitigate the interference between 2.4GHz TV "digisenders" by choosing, for example, channel 1 on your WiFi router and channel D on your digisenders to put as much distance between the two. However check the specs of your digisenders to see what frequencies the different channels (usually 4 - A, B, C and D) cover and then choose a suitable digisender and WiFi channel. I do this at home and the interference between the two is minimal. Of course if your neigbours also have WiFi or 2.4GHz devices (including microwave ovens used regularly) then you will also want to avoid these. NetStumbler is useful for checking for neighbouring WiFi devices but to check more general 2.4GHz devices would probably need a spectrum analyzer so you probably have to make do with deducing their presence from secondary evidence such as WiFi LAN degradation.You don't have one of those TV transmitters that beam the TV signal frrom one to another? We installed one of these at the weekend and Mrs. TP's laptop wi-fi capabilities were neutered. Turning off the tv digisender rectified the matter.
