Any time we receive a call on the landline & somebody answers or the answering machine picks up, the connectivity will drop. Not a terribly huge deal but I play a lot of online games & they won't stand for it, constantly getting dropped from GTA5 is no fun.
So I had done some research into running a "home run" using a POTS splitter to isolate the data & voice traffic from each other. After some chasing of wires I got it successfully running last night, or for the most part.
Problem is the modem will not get service when connected to the dedicated data line (line 2, black & yellow pair) , though the phone gets a dial tone on both.
To my knowledge the internal network works fine, so I assume it doesn't have any effect on Internet connectivity, the router isn't doing the pppoe side of things (it's an asus RT-66U).
Modem: Comtrend CT-5072T
Suttle Outdoor POTS Splitter
ISP: Snowcrest (local provider) also providing landline
