If you do not hook the filters up to every phone line in the home or office, you will experience a low signal and dropped Internet access. Using the filters correctly is very important if you want to talk on the phone, use a fax or even hook up a phone line to your DirectTV or Dish TV receiver box while maintaining a connection with the Internet.

Use a filter on the phone line where you have your DSL modem. Place the filter cord into the phone jack. Next, place the modem phone line into the icon on the filter that shows a PC.
