I would appreciate some guidance on the following as I am shortly to order a BT Infinity fibre install when it becomes available in a few weeks and I want to be prepared.
At present I have an ADSL connection. This consists of an NTE5 master box in the livingroom with a 25m (Cat5 ? whatever the type supplied with a BT ADSL install was 12 years ago) cable plugged into the front RJ11/45 socket which then goes up onto the loft then down into a bedroom terminating in a smaller box with a socket for a line cable. I regret I don't know the model type of the small box to quote. (I took the Cat5? cable and small box with me when I sold the last house and routed it through the loft in this house myself) A line cable plugs into the small box and goes to the line socket of my wireless router.
I am wondering if this extension can somehow be utilised by for example, maybe changing the smaller box for an RJ11/45 type box. Then it would only be a short patch cable from there to the hub, which I would prefer to be situated in the bedroom next to my main PC.
I know I can order a Data extension kit for free during the install but BT won't route the Data extension kit through the loft and it is impractical to run it around skirtings etc as it crosses a hall and would be much longer than 30m in any case.
Is the Data extension kit just a 30m Cat5 cable with RJ11/45 connectors on either end?
Pardon my ignorance.
