Not sure what the two cables are that are crimped together on the orange & blue pairs??
They may have something to do with getting the phone working in the bedroom perhaps which means someone has down it wrong.

1344063 2013-06-02 04:53:00 Sorry, I have to take responsibility for the messy look of the cupboard. I had just reinstalled things the way they were without making it look tidy. Now, the linksys is out of there and in the office which has improved wifi coverage, but means that the only phone connection that works in the house is the one that comes out of the linksys router and any piggyback handsets off that. So, ultimately the best solution I agree will be to install an additional wireless router in the living room and leave the linksys in the garage.

Having said that, I wonder if I can use an old generic non-wifi router that I have at home in storage (which came with an broadband connection package a number of years ago and was obsolete once I bought a wireless router to replace it) in the garage cabinet and use the existing linksys wifi in the living room?
