Try your master socket for better results

Just out of interest was there much change in your Attenuation and SNR figures?

[FITZO]

NewsreadeR did your line anttenution or noise margin inprove as well

@ your and Fitzo

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7008 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 46.0 db 28.0 db
Noise Margin 5.9 db 22.0 db


before the attenuation was about the same, the noise margin gone down from about 7 - cant remember the whole stats, but i am sure i have posted them on this forum , will go a hunting

I'm interested in whether ADSL Nation's master socket filter can prevent RF interference from the extensions "feeding back" to the ADSL signal. In theory, I think it should, but, well, theory and practice and all that... So, have you rewired in the telephone extensions to the back of the faceplate before taking the above measurements?

Hi

The only thing i did was wire up pin 2 and 5 and left the orange ringwire disconnected

[mossywell]

Cheers. That's good enough for me. It means that there's no way for RF interference to get back into the ADSL signal if the signal is filtered before or at the same time as it is split - unlike the plugin filters where the signal is split before it is filtered. (Yes, I know, it's pretty bleedin' obvious, but I just wanted to be 100% sure!)

It's still a pity that there's no getting away from the fact that having the router coming off the master socket is what improves ADSL2+ however it is filtered. In my case, I've just disconnected the phone extension lines as I don't have a filtering faceplate. ADSL speeds are good and anyway I have a DECT phone with about a zillion extensions so the extension wiring's not needed. Hmmm... I might buy a filtering faceplate anyway because I just know that I'm dopey enough to plug in something to one of the phone extensions in a year's time and wonder why on earth it's not working.

I have a master socket, one socket about 1 foot away which the Sky box should be plugged into but isn't as i am out of the 12 month period.

We have a dect phone, with 4 handsets, the base station is plugged into the master socket.

No other phone points are been used whatsoever, the router is on the first floor and i have an RJ45 cable running down to my pc on the ground floor.

Did you need to use a Krone type IDC Tool to get the wires into the connectors on the back?

[NewsreadeR]

nope a flat ended screwdriver (small one)
