    Remove all the broadband filters from all your sockets and then try connecting the phone into the socket directly and without a filter to see if any change.

    You have a problem with the line, only one leg of the incoming pair of wires is used for broadband but the phone needs both legs.

    It could be a faulty router, faulty filter, faulty phone as well.
