Landline stops working when I plug in ADSL router

I've tried 3 different microfilters, and it still does the same thing...

The ADSL is fine, but I have to unplug it whenever I need to use the landline phone.

Anyone had this and how can I fix it? :confused:

ALL lines in the house need the filter on..

Well I'm only using socket with a filter... I'll hunt around the other sockets anyway and check they've got nothing plugged in and if they have I'll whac ka filter in.

You should really put a filter in whether something is plugged in or not. Doen't usually make much odds but it's good practice. Filtered Face plates are best, they eliminate the dagnly bits.

Right, I've found all the other sockets, and none of them have anything plugged in.

I've only got 3 filters tho, I'll go and plug one into each socket...

Filtered faceplate can be had for ~£11
