Does the adsl splitter passes the full signal thro modem/router?
jraju:
I read from so much websites, that the telephone line if it passes through directly will give unbearable noise.
Likewise, if it is not directly connected to modem, you give feeble data signal through it.
But when i ask the same to technician, he insist that both line could be passed through the splitter, at respective labels and it is the best thing.
My query is , if you have a modem supplied with splitter, that it passes the full signal through the modem lable, and filtered signal thro the phone line?
Boggin:
We call them microfilters and the connection would be master socket - microfilter with ADSL and phone cables plugged into that with the ADSL cable going to the modem or modem/router.
A microfilter has two plug holes, one for the ADSL cable and the other for the phone line,
However, just to avoid confusion, you would use a splitter to connect more than one device to the broadband.

Hi, Boggins, Thanks for the information.
But my query is , is the adsl pllug has does not filters , so that you get full data speed thro it , and the other phone has a kind of filters to filter to your telephone line , within that splitter?
Boggin:
Yes, the filter does it all - it separates the broadband from the voice so that you get a pure broadband signal from one side of the microfilter and a clear phone line from the other.

Hi, So you say, that is inbuilt (inbuilt mechanism, having different inner parts within the splitter. Wow. Nice explanation. Because, splitter suggest just splitting, meaning that it just routes the wire to two devices.Your explanation is good.
I thought differently that if it just split, then the maximum data speed required for computer would be slowed, if just splits.
So, i take in to that, it gives full speed wire signal to the modem, even if it passes thro the splitter with the Adsl outlet and Filters the other line going to telephone to reduce the whoosh, sea sound
In other words, if i change the telephone wire connection to the modem, then i will be getting the whoosh sound, will check. Thanks
