Hi Jennifer The Google suggestion doesn’t sound right to me for your phone and computer set up.
Need to know more about your actual house cabling for phone and modem to offer particular suggestions. Is there no noise from the cordless phone (with filter) but noise from the extension phones? Do you have an ADSL 2+ service? Does the wall socket filter include a splitter function? Is this the first entry point from street cable? Do you have filter/splitters on ALL of your wall sockets? Early users of ADSL probably used individual filters that plugged into the phone sockets throughout the house . Later on it was more usual to install the filter/splitter right at the street cable entry point so the phone and modem connections were split right at the source. Only one device to go wrong! Look at the website for the manufacturer of the filters (c10 Communications) for an explanation of types and connections: www.c10.com.au Filters do fail from time to time. Noise gradually gets worse. If you have old filters for ADSL1 they probably were not manufactured for the higher speed ADSL2+. I don't need filters on my service, but I used to have identical filter/splitters at all of my wall sockets, but just the socket nearest the computer actually used the modem outlet.
