Thanks. I can't plug the combined router/modem(s) in anywhere but the main socket as we have a built in filter now. But we tried using the test socket last night with the new router/modem we purchased and things were still the same. I still haven't had a chance to test the 3 router/modems on someone elses broadband, but I can be fairly confident that they're not all faulty.

So I suppose the question is what would cause the combined router/modems to not pick up the ADSL, but the speedtouch modem to find it OK?

Having a hellish time trying to get this concept through to my ISP who are still convinced I need to reboot... :-)

Well its not a line problem cause then net would not work at all. have you tried to bridge the connection or use the wirless router as a dumby terminal?

These days speed touch are having contracts with many ISP's and they are converting there technology which will completly & only work with speedTouch goods. However they have not completly converted yet, thats why on some lines we can still use other routers. However once they completly shift there technology then every one will be using only speedtouch goods.

Hi not an answer but the same issues. My wireless GURU modem router failed or so I thought. I too bought a new replacement Linksys wireless G adsl2 gateway and its the same no adsl connection. The ISP took a week of trials swapping and so on and got the phone company to check the line (which works fine for voice calls) and still wont work. I have connected up with sagem modem now and it works fine. but if someone picks another phone up in the house (they all have filters on) it seems to drop the connection. I've been back to first main socket in the house and thats no good either. Whats the wat out of this?

Well, if your connection drops out with your filters on may be your filter doesnt work or try using a SPLITTER for a change so that you can plug in your modem and your phone on the same line.
