| [speed/latency] DSL Splitter install Hi folks. Newbie over here. Suffering through 2 weeks of intermittent outages, slow upload and downloads on my new Verizon DSL. Purchased a DSL splitter and some CAT-5E to do a straight home run from the splitter for my DSL connection. One question (and I hope its not stupid) is what wire do i use for the incoming port on the splitter? Do i take the wires off the working phone line (green/red) and bypass the NID? or do i use a second wire to connect the NID to the splitter? If so, what type of wire and what gauge? They are coming out to check the line issues Thursday, but I wanted to be prepared. I'm going to run a self test with the modem and laptop right at the NID to make sure I can confirm that the issue is in the house (hopefully).
I took these stats from my speed test with verizon. Hopefully one of you pros can interpret them and point me in the right direction. As usual as read in many of these posts, cable worked beautifully, but made the DSL switch to bundle and save.
Thanks much.
FYI, I live in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Using an Actiontec GT784WN.

Below are pictures of two types of splitters which one is like the one you have

| I have the second. I believe it's a Suttle. |

On the shuttle splitter the network terminals are the incoming portsaid by coltfan18 :Do i take the wires off the working phone line (green/red) and bypass the NID? or do i use a second wire to connect the NID to the splitter? If so, what type of wire and what gauge? The inside phone wire pair(s) connect to the splitters voice terminals
The dsl modem connects to the data terminals
If you can you should post a picture of the inside of the nid and post a picture of the splitter |
|
| Perfect. Then I can run jumper (CAT-5) wire from the NID to the network terminals!
I'll definitely post pics. Thanks for the help. |

Why don't you just wait and have Verizon install a splitter in the NID? then run separate cat5 pairs to your phones and modem.

Green/red in the jack is ALWAYS line 1. Yellow/black is line 2. What colors you use in cat 5 wire is totally up to you. The important thing is that green/red is what needs to be connected at the jack in order for the jack to work. What colors you use from the DATA port of your splitter to the jack is your choice. |
