... or install a flittered extension socket such as the XTF-85.

Nice typo .

Butterfly!

I believe the master face plate has 2 extensions. 1 for upstairs (black cable) and 1 for downstairs (white cable).

Right now both cables are twined together on either 2 and 5 or A and B (depending on the faceplate used) assuming this links them.

Will the Phones still ring if:
a) the extension for downstairs (white cable) is plugged in to 2,3 and 5.
and
b) the extension for upstairs (black cable) where I need the router, is plugged in to A + B.

The black cable is extremely suspect.

i spoke to aaisp was thinking of joining them but they told would have to get a PPPoE capable router which they could supply for £80 then on top of £50 for install and £30 for fftc rental and units .£160 wowww.maybe time to look at other companys again who offer lower and free router .

What has this got to do with this thread?

this thread is not all to do with xilo or be as you will in the posts in the thread !!

Possibly worth starting a new one anyway to avoid confusion as it has tailed off a fair bit since it was first started.

ive found out the black cable is for all downstairs extensions and the white is for upstairs.
I connect both white and black cables to the filtered 2,3 and 5 IDC terminals and plug the router into the adslnation socket. I get 15mb downlink.
I keep the black cable in 2,3 and 5, and connect the white cable (upstairs) to A and B. All extensions ring but the speed drops to 9mb still using the master adslnation faceplate.

place all the wires back into 2,3 and 5, I get 15mb again.

What colours are the wires inside the white cable? Are the same colours connected to the same terminal at each end? T2 >> T2 and T5 >> T5.

The black cable uses blue/white, white/blue, orange/white and white/orange.
the white cable use the same plus green/white and white/green.

Note, I havent started the upstairs socket. Still at the master.
