    this is a problem that your service provider should help you with. call att's customer service and they will help you resolve this. also when you post you need to use real english and not text speak.

    if that is a dsl connection thru the telephone line then all your phones should be connected to filters that are connected to the phone jacks. the dsl modem does not get attached to this filter & is plugged directly to the phone jack or the splitter in the phone jack.

    few different things could be going on here kinda need more info

    1)do you only have one ph jack in your house that you can plug your modem into and get the dsl light to come on or due you have filters for your phones? (filtered or splittered )

    2)does your wireless go out or does the dsl light go off on the 2wire or do you just lose wireless connectivity?

    also do you have a cordless phone?

    make certain the modem is not connected to a filter to the phone jack or splitter. all phones have to be connected to a filter to the phone jack.

    sounds like you may have a bad filter, plug the modem directly into its own jack with NO filter , and make sure both phones have filters on them, if they do, one of them is probaly bad, a red internet light on the 2wire means it doesn't have an ip address, if the dsl light flashes when the phone rings you are dropping sync which causes the int light to go red, until it authenticates again. I would either replace both filters or install them if they are missing. or you can unplug one phone at a time then call your house and see if it drops, if it drops the filter you have on is bad, if not try again with the other phone/filter and see what happens, this should help you identify the bad filter. also I have seen phones that go bad and even with a new filter the same thing happens, it just means bad phone. if you go to 192.168.1.254 (2wire) look around see if you can find your noise margin and attenuation, nm should be 9 or higher attn should be between 5-60, the lower the better on attn, higher the better on NM, remove everything and plug just the modem and see wht the #'s are, then plug stuff back in and check again
