Hi, I wonder if anyone can help, I've searched round but can't really find an answer. My phone line enters the house upstairs to a (master) socket with a faceplate that has ports for both phone line and line to an ADSL modem.
I would like to extend this socket downstairs for use with a wired modem used for a games console. As my phones operate wirelessly from a base station at this master socket there is no problem there.
Can I simply add wires 2,3 and 5 to the master socket, send outside the house and in again where the new phone socket is required, and then use a microfilter and into the mode? I have read that if you do not do this correctly you can drastically reduce broadband speeds.
I realise that it would be preferable to extend a ethernet cable from a modem/router upstairs directy into the games cosole, but am not aware of amywhere you can 'make' your own ethernet cable to facillitate going through walls etc.
Any help very much appreciated, many thanks in advance.
