Sorry it's a bit of a protracted saga. I've tried 3 different modems (as well as 3 different ADSL filterrs). My original Netgear (I reset it back to factory settings just in case), I went and bought a new Belkin wireless-N one, and tried an old Speedtouch USB modem. In all cases (using a wired network connection), I was able to connect PC to modem, but the ADSL light on the 2 wireless routers flashed before going out suggesting (I think) it couldn't sync, while I got a ("no dial tone present" error trying the USB modem. I use a shortish phone extension cable which has never been a problem before, but I tried going direct into the main socket and test socket with same results.
