We had a problem with our cordless phone being very quiet - it was an old Panasonic one. Apparently this is a known issue with the old Panasonic cordless phones according to Telecom. We bought a new one (another Panasonic) and all was well. However, we still have trouble occasionally with low volume when my sister rings us, but I'm sure that this is a combination of her quiet phone and quiet voice :)

In your case however, I think you might have too many phones on the one line - I can't remember exactly, but I think there is a 3 or 4 phone maximum limit on the one line. Not exactly sure, but I'm sure someone on this mailing list can elaborate.

Subject: Jetstream and line quality

Has anyone experienced this problem: Ever since getting Jetstream setup
(self install), all the phones in the house except the one connected to the
same splitter as my router are so quiet you cant hear what people are
saying.

There are 5 phones in the house all plugged into splitters, one router
plugged into one of those splitters. When the router is not connected the
volume on the phones is better ie. I turn it off and the volume is good,
turn it on and it is still good until it authenticates and connects and then
the volume is bad again. Any suggestions how to fix this? Telecom say they
detect a 'very mild' problem with line, but prob not enough to cause any
noticable problem, let alone the one I am experiencing (I cant be stuffed
getting them out just yet, with the threat of a fee if the problem isn't
with the line). They also mentioned it may be a problem with the Router, it
is a Planet ADE4000. What do ya think?

Keir.
