When purchasing SLT ( Sri Lanka Telecom ) PeoTV connection, we are getting a  preconfigured ADSL router and STB. Generally, the router they provided is a 4-port, low-cost ADSL router. The unit which I received with my PeoTV connection is " PROLiNK H5004NK ", and it is a decent quality 4-port ADSL router with a WiFi transceiver. I used this router for one year, and the main issues I noticed with this router are its unnecessary resets during heavy network traffic and limit configuration options. Due to the recent upgrade of my network, I replaced this router with the TP-Link W8961ND router. TP-Link W8961ND bundles with ADSL 2/2+ Modem, 300Mbps WiFi access point, and 4-port router. TP-Link W8961ND Router I purchased this router from a computer component seller and NOT from SLT. As usual, this router arrives with the default configuration, and I managed to configure it for SLT ADSL and PeoTV without any problems. The firmware version of this router is version 3.0...

Nowadays DSL splitter is a common unit in telecommunication and it is used by most of the ADSL users to obtain the maximum performance of the connectivity. Technically DSL splitter is an analog LPF (low pass filter) which is used to prevent interferences between analog telephone device(s) and DSL support units. In this project we describe how to build miniature ADSL splitter at home with grater simplicity and with minimum amount of cost. To build this unit user need to use few generic components which include pairs of 330µH inductors and 1R resistors, 0.0033MFD capacitor and three units of RJ11 PCB connectors. We successfully test this splitter with our local ADSL connection and it gives equal performance of commercial DSL splitter. The complete schematic and PCB diagram (Eagle) of this ADSL splitter is available to download at google drive
