FAQs

What is an ADSL microfilter?

An ADSL microfilter separates the voice and data signals on your phone line, allowing your phone and ADSL modem to work simultaneously without interference.

Why do I need a microfilter?

You need a microfilter on every phone socket in use to ensure a clear connection for both your phone and internet, and to prevent interference.

How do I install the microfilter?

Simply plug the microfilter into your phone socket, and then plug your phone into the 'Phone' port and your ADSL modem into the 'ADSL' port on the microfilter.

Will this microfilter improve my internet speed?

It can help by reducing noise and interference on the line, but actual speed improvements depend on your line quality and internet plan.

What if my internet still doesn't work after installing the microfilter?

Check all connections, restart your modem and router, and contact your ISP. The problem might be with your internet service or modem rather than the filter.

Can I use this microfilter with a fiber optic connection?

No, this microfilter is designed for ADSL connections only. It will not work with fiber optic or cable internet.

How do I know if the microfilter is faulty?

If you experience consistent problems with your phone calls or internet connection after installation, the filter may be faulty. Try replacing it to see if it fixes the issue.

How often should I replace the microfilter?

Microfilters do not have a set lifespan. Replace them if they are damaged or if you experience connectivity issues after you have eliminated other possible causes.

Troubleshooting

No internet connection.

Check all cable connections. Ensure the ADSL modem is correctly plugged into the 'ADSL' port on the filter. Restart your modem and router. Contact your ISP if the problem persists.

Poor voice quality on phone calls.

Make sure the phone is plugged into the 'Phone' port on the filter. Test the phone on a different outlet. If the problem continues, the filter might be faulty.

Intermittent internet connection.

Check the phone line for any interference. Ensure all connections are secure. Replace the filter if necessary. Contact your ISP to check for line problems.

Slow internet speed.

Make sure your ADSL modem is compatible with your internet plan. Test the internet speed with the filter removed. If the speed improves without the filter, try replacing the filter.
