Hi everyone, the engineer put the NTE5 where the blanking plate was using the white cable. She removed the blue crimp things, she called them 'beans' and said they were discontinued years ago because they were known to cause faults! She also said the 6 wire white cable wasn't used any more because only 4 are needed and its good as it is. Anyway she stripped back the white cable and connected up the NTE5, then used the other part of the wire which is now attached to the faceplate as an extension to the LJU2/1a. She said if there were any problems with phone or broadband because of having 2 capacitors on the line I could either cut them out of the LJU2/1A, or she gave me 2 LJU2/3As which I could replace it with. Not bad for £30 cash.
For now there is no change in router stats but its only been half an hour so far. I'm also using 20 odd metres of crappy flat, plug in extension wire (4, aluminium, straight) to the lju2/1a until I get a Krone tool, NTE2005 faceplate, Cat5e and a twisted pair RJ11 cable.,
My plan is attach NTE2005, filtered phone to LJU2/3a Using CW1308, and unfiltered ADSL using BT extension kit from Clarity (Cat5e but 3 pair).
Is having 2 capacitors going to be bad? How much speed/ snrm do you think can I gain and how much attenuation can I drop by rewiring as above? Here are my stats:
