AnOther Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I've just had a look at my neighbours PC with Livebox on Wanadoo because he has a problem whereby when his phone is plugged into the DSL filter it appears that the Livebox is dragging it down, i.e. weak or no dial tone or sometimes an engaged tone. As soon as you unplug the ADSL lead from the Livebox it comes back up OK. The Livebox is working in other respects.He's changed nothing and I've tried 2 other filters all to no avail.Anyone experienced this before ?

f1steveuk Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 We started with Livebox, it kept mucking up loads of things, phone, internet, everything, Wandoo said our line couldn't cope, and sent a Samsung box thingy instead. Hasn't got the wi fi, but it works much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Is this in the UK or France? Where are you getting the other filters to try? Do you have a filter in each socket when you try the phone? Have they had a storm recently, if so all the filters could be duff and will need changing, try new filters, should be free exchange from FT shop if in France.

sid Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 ErnieThere was a recent thread about capacitors in the phone socket. This link was posted by BJSLIV. http://www.dslvalley.com/dossiers/condensateur/condensateur.phpI had a similar problem and removing the capacitor has fixed it for me.Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I don't see how you could have a condenser with the Livebox set up. You could not plug in the Live Box filter/phone connectors with a condenser in the socket. I am not an expert but I do have a WI-FI livebox installation.

AnOther Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 It's in France Ron and the other filters were spares from this, and at least 2 previous Liveboxes which succumbed to the dreaded lightning.Having lost boxes to lightning (plus myriad other electrical gear) my neighbour is paranoid about unplugging everything at the slightest hint of a storm so I'm pretty sure this one hasn't been hit. Regarding capacitors on the line, I don't know if my neighbour has one of not, I'll check later. I do have one on mine and my system works perfectly. Not a Livebox BTW, but Tecom AH4021 as supplied by Teleconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
