On an earlier thread I said that if my DVD player was on my internet connection
via a adsl modem failed.
I have set up a modem/router and gone wireless.
I am using the same telephone point for the router and the DVD player has no effect at all on the connection:huh:
Can anyone explain ?

I vaguely recall the original thread... do you have a link to it though?

Why would you have a DVD player connected to the Internet...? And indeed, how...?



.

he never said the dvd player was connected to the internet?? I think he missed out some punctuation...

"On an earlier thread I said that if my DVD player was on, my internet connection via an adsl modem failed."

That makes more sence :)


Either way, all electrical equipment has an 'operating frequency' (the frequency the components inside work at) - these are usually 50htz as thats what our electrical supply provides, however items such as Routers and Modems can be different as they are DC powered (using a power pack / mains adaptor or even USB) - if the operating frequency of your modem was the same (or close) to that of your DVD player (taking into account it could be the motor inside the player etc, rather than the actual player as a whole) then it can cause problems..

The same can be said for the ADSL Micro Filters, these also operate on a 'frequency' - they split and filter out frequencies also, So assuming you changed the filter at the same time with a new one that came with the router, this could also have been the problem.

It certainly does.

I read...

No, its the same filter, there wasn't one with the router, which surprised me.
Sorry about the missing comma, it was a bit confusing. I can't resist this, Ghozer,
Sense not sence:D:D
Thanks for the explanation.

Or sense, even;):D
