What is the warranty period for Netcomm or Dynalink ADSL MODEMs that I can purchase from Exetel?

These MODEMs carry a twelve months warranty.

Selecting a suitable ADSL MODEM

What MODEM is recommended for ADSL1?

Any ADSL MODEM would work for ADSL 1 connections. However note that Exetel will only be able to provide you basic information if you are not using a Netcomm or Dynalink MODEM.


What MODEM is recommended for ADSL2?

Any ADSL2 MODEM is working with Exetel's ADSL2 services. However, it is better to check with the MODEM manufacturer always.


Can I use the same old ADSL MODEM from my previous provider?

Yes, you can use whatever MODEM that suits you. However ensure that the MODEM is not locked to any particular network and eXeTeL is unable to assist if you are not using a Netcomm or Dynalink MODEM.

Does an ADSL1 MODEM work for ADSL2?

Yes ADSL1 modems should work for ADSL2. However the speed you can go will be upto 8 Mbps and you will not be able to obtain 100% performance. (since it does not support ADSL2 modulations). It is better to always check with the MODEM manufacturer.



Micro Filter

What is a micro filter?

A micro filter is a small device plugged at the back of telephones. It filters out the noise interference on the telephone lines and with every set up this is a requirement.


How many micro-filters do I need when apply for ADSL?

This depends on the extra equipment (fax/corded handsets/cordless handsets etc.) you have on your telephone line.

Can I use the ADSL1 Micro filters with ADSL2 service?

We recommend to use ADSL2 micro-filters for handling the new frequency that ADSL2 emits.


Do I need the filter/splitter connected with Naked ADSL connections?

No, you do not need to connect the filters or the splitters for a Naked ADSL connection. Instead you can have the MODEM connected directly to the first wall socket.

I have problems in setting up my ADSL modem

Setting up an ADSL modem should be a very, very simple task with, effectively, the user only needing to access the on line set up function in the modem and then inserting the Exetel supplied Modem User Name and Modem Password.

All modern ADSL modems have a one page “how to set up…” set of instructions that can be found in the modem’s manual.

The MODEM tends to become very hot when in use and when this occurs the Internet also has problems

It is likely the MODEM is not functioning correctly thus causing the Internet to have problems, it would be best to contact the MODEM manufacturer for further assistance.


How does my ADSL service and telephone service work at the same time?

Your ADSL service (ADSL) and your telephone service (VOICE) co-exist on the same single copper telephone line.

ADSL signals are carried on a higher frequency than your telephone signals.
