Hello everyone
Am now back with a performance related query:-
Bearing in mind my setup (taken from my original post), which is basically as below:-
My phone and other bits and pieces are set up as follows:-
1. Cordless phone - plugged into filter.
2. Fax machine - plugged into filter (rarely used though, and it's only switched on when needed)
3. Sky box -
NOT filtered, yet plugged in...reason being that we don't want children in the house pressing the Red button on Sky remotes leading to expensive phone bills. I made a mistake on my initial post by saying that the Sky box was filtered and it isn't. Should I add a filter here even though the phone lead is NOT plugged in?
4. Router - plugged into a filter and then into the phone socket.
I have also noticed that there is a Block Terminal Connector by the front door of the property
From reading on here, I don't know if it's an RF2 or RF3, yet I will get my BT mate to look at it when he pops over to check everything out.....however, more to my point, there are also other extensions in the house that don't have anything plugged into them (no filters or telephony equipment):-
Corridor - Master socket...old BT style, I will check tonight to see what type it is and will let you know.
Kitchen - unused socket
Outside office - 2 totally unused sockets.
What I want to know is, with this entire layout, is there any way at all that I can streamline my ADSL Max connection so that I can try and squeeze the best performance out of it? Can I not hard-waire from the Master socket direct to my router, or something along these lines?
All advice in plain English please!!! - thanks.
I don't think that I've missed any other sockets out...please feel free to add all info that will be useful to me. Also have to add that a lot of this wiring is all fed into a BT RedCare alarm box which is connected inside an airing cupboard...most connected sockets are fed from that. Apart from ripping up carpets again and so on, what's a neat way of working around this?
Thanks once again to all - really is much appreciated!!!
Regards
