Removing ringwire??

[ANDREWGEORGE404]

Hi guys,
I have an extension running from my master socket (old stye one - no test socket) to my router and telephone. I have heard that removing the ring wire may improve my speed. Is this the case? If so, how do I do it? Ideally I would prefer to wire my router into the main socket without an extension but I have no power supply in the porch. Here are my stats:

Thanks guys.

DSL ZoneUK - Improve your speed - Extension wiring and Disconnection help

Its just a matter of identifying the wires and clipping them out, in your case start at the extension socket, then identify the same wire at your master socket.
I'd proceed one step at a time.

Hmmmmmm I've had a look and it seems i already only have wires 2 and 5. Damn! Do you think a new face place may improve things?
Cheers.

Make the Extension Socket (where the Router is plugged in), the master, by swapping them around, keep the the wires on the same terminals, you need a Krone tool, though!

Do you mean move the wire that is into 2 and 5 vice versa in my master socket? Sorry to come across as an idiot but i'm not too good on this stuff!!

Is it just the one Socket in the Porch? then don't move the wires, It must be an old socket if it is the smaller type (2/1A), what you really need is the new front plate socket (NTE5A), or Frontplate 2000 (with built-in Filter) near your Router. Sounds like you have an extension lead from your Porch to your router? better if you can plug the Router into a Master Socket with no extensions etc, although if you have $ky you need an extension behind the TV for your $ky box. There may some retired BT engineers that could sort this for you in your area - look in your local paper. Hope that helps, cheers,
Paul
