Hello everyone, got a question.

I'm going to put in some new sockets in my house and need to turn off the power to sockets downstairs.

The modem is powered in my living room and will have to be powered off. What is the best way to do this as I would hate to upset DLM as my line has only just recovered.

Am I right thinking as discussed before, to unplug the power leave for at least 30 mins and re connect power again?

I will do this in the morning hopefully.

Thanks everyone!

When you are ready to start installing the sockets, just power down the modem, wait a few seconds, disconnect the patch lead which connects the xDSL port of the modem to the filter, note the time and then continue with your electrical work.

Once the new sockets have been installed and all checks have been made, check the time. If more than 30 minutes have passed since the modem was powered down, power up the modem, wait for it to stabilise and then reconnect the patch lead from the modem's xDSL port to the filter.

Hopefully that will be sufficient to keep the DLM at bay.

All work is done, doesn't look like it's had any effect the connection.

Also mounted the HG612 on the wall right next to the NTE5. Then back to ASUS router using a 0.5m ethernet cable. Looks tidy

Excellent news.

Also mounted the HG612 on the wall

My favorite position against the wall with two small wall screws 4 inch's apart and you can hardly feel any heat coming the from the HG612 apart from the top vent which feels like 21° celsius

I was going to put it right next to the radiator but don't think that would have been wise...
