Hi,
I took out the micro filter on my extension socket and my speed went from 76mbps to 40mbps. Noise margin is still the same and ping is still the same so can someone explain why the speed has gone down? Has DLM kicked in?
if you do not have a filtered master socket then you need the filter in the extension socket otherwise any phone call will cause drop in connection as you are not filtering your connection
I added a micro filter to my telephone extension and now my noise margin has gone up from 3db to 10db? Why is this? Prior to adding the micro filter the internet was disconnecting every time the telephone was used...
I would think a microfilter would alter the noise margin simply because the filter itself must be 'lossy'. You never get something for nothing... like splitting a TV antenna downlead.
Also disconnecting and reconnecting your Hub while playing around with this may well have caused some kind of line management to kick in.
