Thats funny, i bought 3 different brands of standard 6 line extensions,and none worked...only the coupler did.

That's what i'm using, a seperate 6 line telephone coupler and seperate 6 line standard telephone extensions, all bought from a local dollar store. Works for me!

I remember now that i had just tried it on the remote display, not on the power bars.

Works just fine on my remote display.

well that licks...i just tried it again....what could be different ?

AquaCan,

will i see you in september (Macna)?

Regarding extensions:
This is a 6pole 1:1 extension cable with western plugs (RJ12).
Keep in mind they should not be too long. I am not familiar with the unit "feet" but talking about meters the cable should not exceed about 12m.
Maybe longer distances can be achieved; that must be tested.
In any case make sure there is some distance between the extension cable and sources of interferences, a long cable is similar to an antenna.

50 feet is about 15.5 meters so attenuation could be a problem. The signal probably starts getting weaker well before 12 meters but its still just strong enough to work.

Matthias, I will on vacation in Aruba at the same time the Macna is on in September. And yes, I am still fighting with the WLAN connection.



SuperFudge,
What I am using is 6 wire modular line extension. It looks just like a regular telephone extension jack with a slightly wider wire but the difference is that it has 6 conductors as opposed to the two or three that telephones use for extensions. If you look at the clear jacks you can see this.
