Obi 200 killing wifi and poor voice quality
SteveInWA:
Please try the specific test I outlined in my last reply.
With regard to my question about your OBi being connected to your house wiring: the reason I brought it up was that you mentioned earlier (I think) that you have a land line phone. If that's the case, and that phone line is connected to your home's wiring, you could risk damaging the OBi by connecting it to a live phone line. It's vital to only connect the OBi to a pair of phone wires that do not have any connection whatsoever to an external telephone service or DSL service. DSL works by piggy-backing a high-frequency, modulated signal on top of the regular human-hearing range telephone circuit. So, even if the wire pair in question has no dial tone, if it is carrying the DSL signal, don't connect the OBi to it.
Otherwise, yes, it's ok to connect the OBi to the house wiring.

I know this is a year old thread, but have you tried using a DSL Filter/Splitter? One input is 'Phone' and has a low pass filter to filter out the higher frequencies used by 'DSL', and also filters crosstalk and noise between the two lines in the RJ11 cord. Filters, and DSL/Phone splitters are around $5. You will also find them in quantity at your local thrift shop in the electronics section for about a dollar. If a splitter was installed with your DSL, it may be defective, cheap, or has a bad or old capacitor. Buy a couple different kinds to test, some cheaper ones do not work well, and the really good ones are no longer made.
