    have you filtered the router? you said you filtered the phones, but is the router filtered as well?

    :doh:

    You can't filter the router! Obviously you don't understand what an ADSL filter does.

    You still haven't said if you are using a wireless router, or connecting by ethernet cable?
    Tried both ways and it's the same, thanks

    But did you switch the wireless function off? Even if you connect by ethernet, the wireless side remains active unless you disable it on the router.
    Is the mobile problem still limited to 'incoming' loss of voice-you can still hear the person near the router?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Didn't disable router cos didn't know it was still active when using ethernet. Yes just incoming from mobiles. Landlines fine

    Enter 192.168.1.254 into your browser.

    The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.

    Navigate to the wireless page and disable it.

    Hens teeth - you were asked in post #16 "Make and model of your router please?"

    OK, disabling wireless is worth a try-but how can transmissions from the wireless router be affecting mobile phone signals though? Different frequencies surely?
    And if they did, how would that explain loss of voice at the home end on both home phone (wired) and mobiles (see original post)?
