Anybody have any ideas what all causes RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) with DSL modems. I have had some problems with disconnects at night (night only) and have some suspicions that RFI may be playing a factor. I have heard that lights can cause interference, but ussually the same lights are on during the day as at night. The nearest street light is about 200 feet away.
I did figure out something tonight though, my wife's treadmill (out of all things...hehehe) cuase it to disconnect with certian beeps it makes for raising/lowers/speed adjustments. I verfified this also. Wierd!
Note for Highwind777: i performed exorcism, but no help!
Should I invest in RFI filters? How much do they run? Do they actually work? Where do I get them? bla bla bla...
And can RFI damage the modem over time?
Thanks for any inputs!
