Hi,

I currently have a BT Broadband account with a BT Voyager 105 USB ADSL
Modem, which, I want to replace with a Netgear DG834G version:2
Wireless modem/router.

I've noted the connection settings recommended by BT, off their web-
site, and entered these into the router via the 192.168.0.1 web
browser interface.

I've connected the DSL line directly into the Netgear modem/router via
a BT ADSL MF50 filter. By the way, I've got one two-line filter pluged
into the modem and the other two-line filter plugged into the phone
and both these connect to a double-socket at the entry point in the
house.

Unfortunately, the modem/router does not recognise the ADSL line, I
just get a flashing amber light on the internet connection.

I can only think it something to do with the microfilter. But I have
one on each device connected to the phone socket.

Could it be because I have two two-line filters? Should I have a one-
line filter plugged into the phone and a two-line filter plugged into
the mode/router?

I dunno.

Please help,

Thanks,
Chris

as a simple test plug the ADSL cable currently going into the Netgear
into the Voyager 105 and see if it works.

Your description wasn't crystal clear - you only need one microfilter
to plug a phone and a router into the same phone socket.

A microfilter has a 6-pin plug, a 6-pin socket (labelled phone) and a 4-
pin socket (labelled ADSL). The filter itself is wired between the 6-pin
socket and the 6-pin plug to keep the ADSL signals away from your phone.
The 4-pin socket is wired directly through to the 6-pin plug.

Therefore, if the route from your ADSL modem/router is in any way via the
6-pin socket of a microfilter, it won't work - the filter stops
(attenuates) the ADSL signals.

hi,
i'm also having similar problems in getting the netgear dg834g to
recognise the ADSL line - connected through a microfilter to the main
socket with all other phones/extensions disconnected - all firmware
updated - telephone line checked by BT engineer. Internet/broadband
light flashes yellow for 10 seconds - turns solid green for 15 seconds
- light goes off for 30 seconds . . . sequence starts again . . .
any ideas? -
thanks - Bedwyr

If you mean checked as in ADSL line check (& it past) get hold of
another make/chipset & try that. If on the other hand someone has
just been along to make sure that your telephone line is working get
onto your ISP to get an ADSL engineer to visit & run tests, without
that you (& us) are just urinating in the wind about what could be,
may be, probably be wrong...

I may be reading you wrong, but "connected through a microfilter" ? MF's are
only required for fones, faxes etc, not for ADSL modems. Forget this if what
you've written isn't what I've read ;-)

Most routers are connected via a filter due to the rj11 plugs on the

signal as well as the analogue, old argument, run it course &
everybody agreeing to disagree)

@news.datemas.de:

trust that you dont reaaly mean that, microfilters filter out the adsl
signal for normal phones. If it is connected through the unfiltered port
then make sure your filter is a good one, ask someone else with adsl to
test it for you.

Sounds like your settings on the router are not correct

yellow flashing means it can see the ANDS signal, and is trying to sync
solid green means it has synced
off means it has lost sync

On the router, click on ADSL Settings
The VPI should be 0
The VCI should be 38

Under the Basic settings screen, you can select between requiring a login or
not, I am unsure what BT require here, maybe someone can advise

I think it does require a login, if so, make sure your username and password
are correct.

If you click on Router Status, then Connection Status, you should see what
is failing as it turns from Green to off.

modem/router connected through the ADSL socket on the microfilter. BT
engineers installed new socket & external cable and succeeded in
connecting to broadband with 2 different modems of their own (voyager
& speedtouch). Netgear at default settings - tried to connect with
setup wizard and with basic settings but no joy. Mac set to DHCP -
modem/router set to VPI = 0, VCI = 38. Modem/router logs "loss of
synchronization" - hours spent updating firmware, disconnecting,
rebooting, different socket/microfilter setups . . .
I'm going to ask for a replacement -
