	modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this solves the problem, re-locate your
	telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector.
	• The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating range. Try moving the telephone
	base to another location, preferably a higher location for better reception.

	that has a telephone connected to it. Contact your DSL service provider for filter information.
