Re: Cabling(between wall jack and modem)
1st I'd upgrade if you can to 3.0 or 5.0 if your using 3 computers at same time. Next anything is good between wall and modem as long as its under 20 ft as far as line cords go otherwise use a cat 3 line cord to play it safe.
I believe your trouble may be between the splitter and wall jack if your voice and data are split and still running together through a cat 3 2 pr wire there could be cross or bleed over in that wire. Make sure the data is hooked only to that one jack and doesn't continue to other jacks. Also no other lines hooked in nid either to data side of splitter.
It would be best if a cat 5 or cat 3 wire ran from splitter to data jack only for best results. These are fixes that I've made and all have worked depends on situation and whether you live in an apt complex or a house as to what can be done. If you live in apts try an extra filter on the voice side to your phone yes I know its already splittered but the bleed of the phone can cause issues with speed through the same line by adding a filter helps reduce noise coming from the phone.
Also the modem is probably good they like to waste money on shipping them out when 90% of the time its not the problem. Your cable loop also may need conditioned or even the splitter may be bad.Oh and older model linksyses have had issues make sure your checking through the modem only when doing your tests. |
