Can anyone point me in the direction of good quality NTE5 fitered faceplates, and where to get them?
To cut a long story short, I recently narrowed down an incredibly unstable connection to the filtered faceplate I bought several years ago. It was fine for ages, and the in the last couple of months, I started experiencing regular and frequent connection drops. I replaced the faceplate with one from amazon (Solwise branded) and the connection is much more stable - but I am still experiencing the odd connection drop (say, once every couple of days). Sounds minor, but nothing is more rage inducing when it happens during work, or gaming, or streaming. Without going into detail, part of this escapade included logging a fault with my supplier (Plusnet) who ran tests and found there to be no issues on my line, so I'm now just trying to ensure reliability of the connection at my end.
I was considering buying a decent router, wondering if the ISP supplied one (Smart Hub 6 in this case) might not be the most reliable, but after learning how something as simple as the faceplate can be at fault, I'm now wondering if they have varying quality standards - and if so, how do I find out which are the most reliable?
Any advice would be appreciated. Obviously, a disconnection every couple of days is inconvenient rather than showstopping, but when I hear about people with connections that never drop, I'd obviously like to do my best to achieve the same.
