I have an ADSL modem in my garage and when I operate with anything more than 1300-1400 W on 40 m only, it loses the ADSL connection. I';; be getting an IPDSL modem on Monday, though not Uverse (because... Well, it's the phone company). I'm assuming I'll have a similar problem with it, if not worse. I've ordered five of the ~1.5" ID type 31 ferrite cores, enough for one per wire that enters or exits the device. How many turns should I pack on: as many as I can in a single layer? ANy guess if I can get away with enough turns when I run two wires per core?

There's a twisted pair that enters the modem, a power line, and four CAT-5 cables. DO I need to observe any special precautions?
