Thanks for the suggestion, will try that. Yet the problem started when we got a new printer and reorginized the connections... Its quite a coincidence
One thing I noticed nobody has mentioned: is it a cordless phone? And how close is that phone to your router, computer, and printer? Cordless phones can destroy a Wi-Fi signal as well.
Another thing is this: Is the printer (fax portion) connected to your phone line? If so, that can also cause DSL connection issues, especially if it's sharing the line with the DSL modem as shown in your diagram on the first post. Is it using a splitter? If it's not a DSL filter, then it's a splitter or you have a dual jack in the wall.
You can also try to put a filter on the printer's phone line to reduce noise coming from it. I've seen that help. Although rare, I've also seen a filter help the DSL modem, but more often than not they cause additional issues when connected to the DSL modem.
