nope...
you are wrong Mr.Hunt... RJ11 to RJ11 goes to your hub/router... RJ45 to RJ11 goes to your landline. when people refer to 'the RJ11 cable' they refer to the one that goes to the hub/router... apart from you of course. |
|
By:
i am wrong actually Mr.Hunt...
this is the one i thought they called RJ45 so i apologise... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203618628795 i should have originally said RJ11 to RJ11 cable. |
|
By:
so to update...
i was using a 10m RJ11 to RJ11 cable (when i was getting loads of pausing)... i switched to a 1m one yesterday and the pausing almost vanished (just the odd very small pause on RTV where the audio goes a bit wonky for a split second)... i will keep the 1m one in today to see how it plays... so if anyone has any advice on the length of RJ11 to RJ11 cable you should be using i'd be pleased to hear it. |
|
By:
The RJ45 ports are Ethernet. There is no way a standard landline telephone will work connecting to an Ethernet port.
the cable from white wall box to phone is a 431A > RJ11 plug. |

i am wrong actually Mr.Hunt... hibs rong rico rite ![]() |
|
By:
cant personally see how a shorter RJ11 would affect anything as the copper cable from open reach cabinets to house can be hundreds of meters long anyways..as long as its a stable connection.
|
|
By:
RJ11 are what connects from BT street cabinets to houses and can be hundreds of meters long.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- well you say you are right Mr.HUnt... you were partially right... coz RJ11 also connects from the wee whit box to the router/hub (which is what i was originally asking about). my mistake was thinking the funny shaped 'phone' connector was an RJ45... which i admit i was wrong about. |
|
By:
i agree with you Mr.Hunt...
which is why i had the 10m cable in the first place... it is possible that that specific cable is dodgy and has nowt to do with it's length tbh... but it does seem strange that since i changed the RJ11 to RJ11 cable it has been pretty fine. |
|
By:
RJ11 is just tradition small core copper cable..similar to what runs from BT cabinets to houses..
as long as connection is stable wont affect..if you run a 3 core flex from your house to london for light bulb it will still turn on instantly. |
|
By:
what company supplys yours?
|
|
By:
i will monitor the situation Mr.Hunt...
but the difference between Friday and Saturday (pause wise) was fairly dramatic tbh. |
|
By:
my internet provider ?
SKY. |
|
By:
plenty complain re sky....even though its supplied from same place/equipment (open reach) obv the hubs are better with other companys..cant fault BT infinity if its available.
|
|
By:
well i couldn't tell you the last time i had an issue with SKY internet tbh Mr.Hunt...
very reliable here tbh... when i got the new hub it was fine... thinking back it was only when i changed over the RJ11 to RJ11 cable RTV LV has started pausing... i got an RJ11 to RJ11 supplied with the hub/router and that is what i'm using now and yesterday RTV LV was fine... so i will monitor the situation... could easily be a rogue RJ11 to RJ11 cable and the length of it is not the issue tbh. |
|
By:
mebbe..why was there a 10m cable if a 1m can be utilised?
|
|
By:
btw..to recall..did u say sky bbc was behind freeview? memory is terrible
|
|
By:
yes...
by anywhere between 0.5 and 1 sec Mr.Hunt... long story Mr.HUnt... i had the original hub/router... i called SKY to ask about FTTP... they said still not available... i aked if they had a more recent hub/router... they said yes... i said i'll take it then as it was supposedly good for wifi connections... so when the new hub arrived i connected it all up and it was fine... the RJ11 to RJ11 cable i was using (5m length) had a broken clip on one of the connectors so i decided to buy a new one of 10m length as i wasn't sure where i wanted to position the ew hub/router... i thought it was all ok after using the new RJ11 to RJ11 (10m) but i started noticing a few pauses on RTV LV... and a few became more than a few and for a few races it was really awful... Friday was shocking so that was the final straw... i went back to the old hub/router with the RJ11 to RJ11 cable i got with the new hub/router and it worked well... the odd very slight distortion in audio on RTV tracks... so last night i went back to the new hub/router and it was still fine... which is where i am now and i will see how it goes today... so the only change i have made is the position of the hub/router and the RJ11 to RJ11 cable length... the original position of the router seemed fine to me and it was the same position i had the old hub/router in and it was fine for ages there too... but as i have shortened the RJ11 to RJ11 cable it won't reach that far now... so i have narrowed it down to either the position of the new hub/router or the RJ11 to RJ11 cable length... that assumes all goes well from now on of course... if it goes t1ts up today i'm stuffed i think. |

By:
hub?
|
|
By:
the box where the cable from the street comes in Mr.HUnt...
i'll dismantle it after racing to see if there is a loose wire issue or something... probably not but it's a matter of ruling things out tbh. |

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115041096454
similar to this but an older version. |
|
By:
i actually took the bottom half out and shoogled the wires a bit...
and it's been perfectly fine since then... i had a few pauses at Galway earlier on... ![]() ![]() ![]() |

By:
total mistery to me Hayden tbh...
if i'm the only person in the world getting 'pausing'on RTV LV (it doesn't lose time but the audio goes wonky and the picture stutters a bit) then the only thing it can be now as far as i'm concerned is something on my PC... i've got 3 old ones in the loft so will see if any of them are better.. cheers Hayden. |

no 3rd party AV on the new PC hibs?
|
|
By:
oh god...
how do i check that Mr.Hunt ? |
|
By:
Check to see if you have anti-virus software installed on your Windows computer
The best way to tell if you have anti-virus software installed is to use the Security Center feature on your Microsoft operating system. When you select this option, you’ll be presented with a status for: Anti-virus software. Firewall protection. You can do this by following these simple steps: Users using the classic start menu: Start > Settings > Control Panel > Security Center. Users using start menu: Start > Control Panel > Security Center. |
|
By:
or go to control panel > uninstall a program..see if theres any obv 3rd party AV in list.
|
|
By:
i looked at the 2nd option earlier and couldn't see owt Mr.Hunt...
will try the first option now. |
|
By:
couldn't see owt obvious Mr.Hunt...
Windows Security - Firewall and Network Protection - Firewall is ON for the 3 options (Domain Network / Private Network / Public Network). |
