Hi, im new here, i have a problem with my USB DSL internet connection when i use it on my laptop, it keeps disconnecting, every 10 - 30 mins i been told that it has to do with my laptop settings ,i couldnt figure out how to solve this problem please help me.

thank you.

do you have one or more of these modems in use in your house?

do you use a filter and have you tired a software reinstall?

tbh, it sounds like the sort if thing you get free from your ISP and i wouldn't go near one of those things with a barge pole.

i have only one modem and i tried reinslalling several times and it didnt work, no idont use a filter

Is your connection via cable or telephone? Who is your ISP?

if you are using broadband you will need a filter so your phone data and comp data don't mix.

Not that they "mix"... but the DSL signal can interfere with the telephone signal... and if you have any telephones without filters, picking up an unfiltered phone can result in the loss of the DSL signal. All devices using standard telephone lines (telephones, fax machines, even computer fax/modems) MUST have a Z-Blocker filter connected in some fashion.

hi...my connection actually via telephone and my ISP is Etisalat -UAE
i dont get it what exactly is the filter and how should i install it??
plz help me guys

It is a small box which connect to the wall socket (telephone) and provides 2 sockets, one for DSL, the other for handset. You need one of these on all sockets in use, telephone or DSL. Your DSL modem connect to the DSL socket on the filter.

ok..but where do i get this device from ???

Google "buy dsl filter" or microfilter.

thanks guy specially u mike99 , but is there another way??

Well, you could unplug all your telephone handsets. They're not that expensive, in UK you often get 1 or 2 as part of the package.
