Telephone Exension and ADSL Filters
Quick question as my brain has gone fuzzy... I am going to move my PC from my cupboard under the stairs "office" into the Conservatory, in order to do this I am planning on running an extension from the cupboard office and plugging the BT Hub and Phone into it in the Conservatory, I know I will probably lose a bit of Bandwidth but it will be less obtrusive under the carpet than an RJ45 Cable plus I have a 30m Phone cable that I can canabalize.
So... Do I put the felcher in at socket or at the end of the extension... I think I have to do it at the socket, but like I said... brain has gone fuzzy.
Thanks in advance...

Leave the router where it is and run ethernet as the extension. Kept near the walls it isn't really noticeable, it is more expensive than phone cable, but there's a reason for that.

I know this... but I really need the space, and I need it very soon, may run an RJ45 (CAT5) cable through but I don't have one at hand, or have the spends to get one at the moment, yes I know they ain't expensive, but times are hard at the moment, hense the need to get some space and do some extra work from home to get me some folding stuff.HereComesPete wrote:Extension cable is bad for speed, potentially really bad.

This is of course, entirely possible.fabyak wrote:I run my machine over about 12m of extension cable and never had any problems, speed or otherwise (apart from when I unplugged one of the extensions with my foot without noticing, but as i'm nowhere near your house you can rule that one out)
But it's by no means a given, really depends where your phone extension runs in relation to house wiring etc. It could be that you'll get no nasty side effects. or your internet might drop every 15 minutes.
YMMV and such.
