Want to make sure I'm buying the right bits and not missed anything----

Master socket, landline + router currently in living room.
Need to install 2nd landline + wired internet for 2 desktops in other room.

Broadband signal has never been great so want to create best signal path within the parameters.

Plan:
Replace master socket in living room.
Install extension in other room, about 8m run from ms.
Move router to other room + phone socket for 2nd landline.

Shopping list:
Master Socket, NTE5A.
Ext Socket, NTE5C MK4.

CW1308 or CAT5e?

Will the NTE5C MK4 really improve signal path for the extension over a plugin bb filter? .. the NTE5C MK4 is not cheap, I could just use 2 NTE5A + bb filter?

Am not a wiring expert but I think both the NTE5A and NTE5C are both master sockets and you don't want more than one master on a line.. though am sure someone will point out what you actually need.

Apart from the fact, the public is not supposed to mess with master sockets have you considered using WiFi and a DECT phone instead?

Absolutely correct.

I am struggling to fully understand what is required. The following is somewhat ambiguous --

Do you mean that you are ordering a second telephone line? If yes, then Openreach will do all that is necessary. However if you mean that you would like to have an extension telephone in the other room then that can be a DIY task.

Let's step back a bit, so that we can fully see the current situation. As I understand it, the current master-socket is in room number one. What sort of master-socket is it? A LJU2/1A perhaps?



If you would please clarify the situation, we should be able to devise a plan of action for you to follow. At the moment, don't order anything.

Basically I need to install an extension from the master socket to another room ...not a 2nd line.

The extension will allow the relocation of the router to other room.
The extension/router will provide wired internet for 2 desktops in other room.
The extension will provide a telephone socket for a 2nd wired telephone in other room.

I figured the NTE5C(master socket) would make a good extension box as it has the filter faceplate.

Also, I will be replacing the original mastersocket ...yes, I'm aware of the warnings!!!

I cant use cordless phone or wireless for the desktops, it has to be the requirements described above.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!

You need a filtered faceplate on the existing master socket. On the back of that are connections for data. You will need to run TWO wires through, one for the data with a socket you can plug your router/modem straight in to without a filter and the second for a phone extension which again won't need a filter as it will be connected to the filtered side of the master socket.
