Right, long short im afraid. My friend lives in the sticks and gets crappy speed. To boost his speed I got him a DG834GT and thats working great, 2.5Mb instead of 1.5Mb.
He lives in a big house (4 floors, 6 Bed) and the Master Socket is located in the garage, under the first floor (so technically 5 floors if you count the garage)
To get the best sync speed, I placed the DG834GT in the garage in Modem Only Mode (running DGTeam FW) and ran an ethernet cable to the second floor where most of the devices WERE located and where I put a WRT54GL (with Tomato FW)
This works good, but his modem is getting damp down in the garage and is dropping sync a bit.
I have fitted an ADSL Nation Filtered Faceplate and have connected all of their existing telephone sockets to the back of the socket.
Anyway, they have recently moved their study into the 5th floor (converted loft) and the wireless is quite low signal. So what I want to do is move both the modem and router to the top floor.
Im not sure how I can still use the Filtered faceplate to achieve this, I basically want to run the filtered side of the faceplate up to the loft where the modem will be. I will be using Shielded Cat6 for this. I need to keep all the Phone sockets connected down into the garage, but run a line up for the ADSL. (Run will be about 40m)
Is this possible? Am I over complicating it? Do you understand what I just said?
Thanks
