Hi,

 

 

 

Just got fully switched over from ADSL to VDSL today and installed an xDSL Master Filter, though after I completed the install, the modem was unable to synchronize. My phones however, all worked fine.

 

 

 

Log displayed:

 

kernel: Line 0: VDSL G.993 started

 

kernel: Line 0: VDSL2 link down

 

 

 

And repeated indefinitely.

 

 

 

With the xDSL filter removed, the modem is able to synchronize fine.

 

 

 

If you'll excuse the crudeness of it, I quickly threw together a wiring diagram of sorts.

 

 

 

 

Any input on why it may not be working would be greatly appreciated.

I apologise for the late follow up, but I have finally got everything working.

 

 

 

I checked the wiring many times but could not find any problems with it. I even went as far as to attach an RJ-11 directly to the filter.

 

 

 

Eventually I decided to just try swapping the filter, and it worked immediately with the new filter. Guess I was just really unlucky and got a faulty filter.

 

 

 

Thank you for the assistance, hopefully everything continues operating without fault for years to come.
