Re: test socket.
That is not a problem, many leave their filter permanently connected to the Test socket if they don't need extensions.

Re: test socket.
You normally have to use the filter to allow you to plug in the RJ11 cable to the router.

Re: test socket.
The filter is to cut out 'cross talk' between the ADSL signal and the phone, so if you don't have a phone, you don't really need a filter, but you need a compatible plug on the router cable.

Re: test socket.
what was it at before?
if you've only lost a little , then it's quite normal & usually depends on the time of day you reboot the router
