Hi all, I was wondering if someone offer me some advice on the best way to setup my broadband and telephone connection here.
Currently I have a simple basic one telephone & ADSL broadband router connected to my main socket, although the router is upstairs in my room via an extension cable:
However, I want to add a second telephone in my room upstairs, and I'm not sure which of these two options would be best? I would prefer option 2 as it would only require one extension cable up to my room instead of two, but I'm not sure if one filter is enough, and if I need a second one at the mains socket too?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Reason I have the router upstairs is because I like to keep an eye on it as I do suffer the occasional dropped connection and there is no easily accessible power socket near the phone socket downstairs. Many thanks for reading!
ps. I know which cables to use but I couldn't be bothered to label them in the diagrams as it's not the type of cable but rather the setup I'm seeking advice for
