Help please: landline+OBi100 kills DSL
13183s:
For some reason, I need to keep the AT&T landline. So I connect OBi100 via a RJ-11 splitter to the incoming phone line and then phone A for GV. In the other room, I connect phone B directly into the AT&T phone outlet. Unfortunately, every time I plugged the phone B, the DSL stopped so that I had to unplugged it. Interestingly, although DSL died, but it seemed the phone A from OBi100 was still alive.
I wonder how to use OBi as my primary phone and meanwhile keep the regular landline. Thank you so much.
I am using TP-Link8960N modem/Router.

Oh Oh, The OBi100 is not intended to be plugged into a phone line. The OBi110 is what you need in order to use a PSTN line.

Sorry for the confusion. The OBi100 is connected correctly as OBi manual indicates and it works; it is not plugged into the incoming phone line.
My question is how to make local calls with my AT&T service, while OBi100/GV for long distance. After I successfully set up OBi100 and was able to use it, I plugged another phone into the regular AT&T phone outlet in the other room and then DSL died and I cannot use internet. I have tried to use RJ-11 splitter, so that the GV and AT&T were in the same room, but same problem with dead DSL afterward.
Thank you so much.

13183s,
Don't you need a line filter in front of that phone?
LeoKing:
I suggest you try a different phone cord and if you still have the same problem, try another phone.
