Hello folks,
I am about to move into a new build with a 5C master socket in the service cupboard and two extensions elsewhere in the flat (including one in the sitting room, which is where I'd like to put my router).
I know that splitting the VDSL from the phone signal at the master socket with a new faceplate is the best option but I can't see a way to make this work unless I'm prepared to start drilling (which I'm not) or to put the router in the cupboard (I could live with this if it was for a substantial gain).
So, my question is this - Will plugging the router into the master socket's test port via a microfilter give a good indication of the possible benefit of fitting a split faceplate or do I have to fit the faceplate first to find out?
Thanks.
