Moving DSL modem to another room, but filter problems.?
Question by computerwizard145: Moving DSL modem to another room, but filter problems.?
Ok I have my DSL modem, Wireless Router, and Slingbox networked in my home office. The slingbox is connected to my home office tv. But I would like to move all of these equipment to my living room so I can plug into the PS3, TV, and Sat Box. Anyway I have tried moving the modem myself (which I know how to do). I move the filter and everything with it. But when I hook it up to the phone line behind the tv cabinet it doesnt work. I Think it is because when the man from Bellsouth installed my modem and such he put one underground filter on my house so I would not have trouble with filters on all my phones. I had a filter on home office though because that was originally the garage and it did not run. So I had an underground filter and a sub filter at my desk with my modem. But when I move it I have to plug it up to the phone line with the underground filter while using the sub filter with it. When I do this I can't connect to the internet though. Is it because it is running through two filters? What do I need to do to get around this so I can move my modem to my living room.

you could always try hooking it up to the master rooter in the back of the tv. its red and large not very misssable . i wud also suggest sleeping in the garden as this has been proven to stirr up emotions in the cable and get things started! good luck
