I have the same problem on 80m (CW end only) and 160m with a Vigor 2800G.

I have the previous emails on this (June 2007 and January 2008), which I'll 
forward separately to you.  The KY filter recommended by Jan (IVZ) in June 
2007 has very nearly cured my problems.  But the ADSL still drops out on 80m 
CW (only at the very bottom of the band) when running high power.

I have now invested in several, cheap (from eBay) routers.  The first I 
tried worked perfectly and did not drop out on any band (a Vigor 2600), but 
after a fortnight threw a wobbly and decided that it did not want to play 
any more.  I just have not got round to trying the others yet.
