Slow Internet
Wahya69:
I have the Obi110. I am currently utilizing an AT&T, DSL dry loop to my house, meaning I have DSL without home phone service. I have a hub in my closet where the main data and voice line comes in and is then distributed to the the phone jacks in my home. When I first bought the Obi, I had it connected to my router and a dual handset cordless phone hooked to the Obi. All worked fine. I decided to disconnect AT&T's voice line at the hub in my closet and connect the outgoing line from the Obi to send dial tone to all of the phone jacks in my house. Phone service is still great, my internet upload speeds have not changed, but my download speeds have been cut from an average of 5 mbs to less than 1. I cannot stream netflix, websites load like I was using dial up, etc. Other than disconnecting the Obi from the hub, is there a way to fix this problem?

It's a long shot, but since you're out of things to try...
The following procedure will change the OBi Ethernet port from 10 mb/s half-duplex to 100 mb/s full-duplex:
1. Dial *** 0
2. Enter option 27 and press #
3. Press 1 to set a new value
4. Enter a value of 1 and press #
5. Press 1 to confirm/save
6. Hang up
7. Wait for the OBi to reboot

QBZappy,
Thanks for the reply. I actually did find another post with those instructions after submitting mine. It did not seem to make any difference with my internet speeds. I'm starting to think that this device was not designed to be used the way I am trying to use it. At least not without consequences.

Wahya69,
Does your router have any QOS settings that need to be adjusted?

Hi Wahya69,
With DSL dry loop, you typically don't have to bother with DSL filters. However, are you sure that your existing home phone wiring is not connected in some way to a telephone service elsewhere or even to your DSL line in some way?
I'm not sure why your internet speed would be affected by simply plugging in your existing home phone wiring to the OBI phone port. So I am wondering if there is any connection between the existing home wiring and your DSL dry loop line that could be causing some sort of interference. My two cents.
Hopefully someone else will have some smarter ideas! [EDIT: See posts above and below mine ;D]
