1)Power cycle the modem, turn the modem off for 15 seconds and then turn it back on ,some models may require you to pull the power cable out and re-attach it.
2)Check the physical connection of your phone cable.
3)Disconnect all other devices sharing the ADSL line,Temporarily disconnect other devices, such as phones and faxes, which are sharing the ADSL line. They may be interfering with the ADSL signal. All devices sharing the ADSL line (apart from the ADSL modem) must be connected through an ADSL line filter.RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) / EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) RFI / EMI emitting devices can degrade the ADSL signal, cause retransmissions and data loss. Devices prone to generating interference including cordless phones, speakers, power supplies, light dimmer switches, high intensity lightning, and surge protectors. Ensure that the phone cable and modem power cable do not make contact with cables from these types of devices. Relocating the modem or rerouting the cables often solves the problem.

5)Keep the phone cable between the modem and the wall jack as short as possible.
6)Check your line for faulty inside wiring or a corroded phone jack. |
