A typical microfilter

Microfilters

Ensuring the microfilter(s) are installed correctly is very important as failing to do so will disrupt the connection. Please see the following check points when installing microfilters:

1. Any item that connects to the phone line must go through a microfilter, eg. Fax Machine, Sky TV Box, Telephones, Analogue dialup modems.
2. If an extension cable is used from the BT phone socket to the router, then the microfilter must be fitted at the router end of the extension and NOT the BT wall socket end.

Fault Finding

Before proceeding with any specific fault diagnostics please conduct the following and then retest:

1. Disconnect all items from the phone line except the ADSL router.
2. Change the microfilter connected to the ADSL router.
3. Ensure the router is connected to the master BT phone socket in the premises.
4. If possible try an alternative router/modem. The cheaper consumer models last about 1-2 years in our experience.
