| 1269545 | 2012-04-12 05:05:00 | 3723 This should be close, hope it helps. The question is wether the orange white is all joined back in the ETP or not. Also your picture needs the white wire attached to work. |

| 1269547 | 2012-04-12 05:34:00 | Try the blue / white. It's possible they haven't stuck with the same colours everywhere and if so the ADSL will not work on the splitter output but the phone will. Also bear in mind the other end of the cable may not be connected to the broadband in the ETP at all. If you look at my awesome artwork (not) it should give you an Idea. The output of the splitter connects to any jackpoint that is for a phone, and the other side connects to any broadband ADSL Jackpoints. If the blue/white pair doesn't work see if you can get the ETP cover off and have a look/ take a photo. (they use 3 corner security screws but can often be loosened with a small flatblade). If any cables have pairs that don't go anywhere in the ETP it's likely that's the problem. |

| 1269549 | 2012-04-12 06:21:00 | I think the jack is just not connected to the ETP. Pics of ETP outside of house : 372437253726 This is another existing jack where I could put the router but it has only phone. How would I go about turning this into a dual phone and broadband jack. 3727 |

| 1269550 | 2012-04-12 08:22:00 | So it looks like the other end of the white cable is there in your last photo. It shows that only the blue pair is connected so it will only get the phone at the jack in your pic with the white cable with just the orange wire attached. If you want to have the ADSL router in the location of the jack in your last photo you just need to change it to a two socket wall plate and get another jack. You would then need to cut off the two scotch locks / crimps on the orange pairs and punch them down onto the new jack - similar to the blue pairs on the other jack. |

| 1269551 | 2012-04-12 11:10:00 | Okay - It's all starting to make sense ! Few questions : What is the purpose of the scotch locks/ crimps on the orange ADSL wires? And why are there 2 blue cat5 cables and one white cable? Do I need to only use the orange and white from the 2 blue cables or do I need to also use the orange and white from the white cable? And finally, What sort of dual jack do I need ? - Can I use the one in the pic attached which is being used for the broadband and adsl in another room where the router is currently sitting . (eg . I could just swap them over) . ? 37283729 |

| 1269552 | 2012-04-12 12:30:00 | House wiring can be very confusing if it has been added on to, but I think I understand what is going on here. The unfiltered pair on the cat5 cable is joined to the same pair on another cat5 cable going to the ADSL jackpoint. Instead of running a new cable from the ETP to the ADSL jack, they have joined 2 cables to achieve the same result. Blue pair is filtered, red pair bypasses the filter. You are very lucky that where you want to put the router is the first jack in the daisy chain, so you just have to put in a double jack, cut the red pair that has been joined & connect it to the new jack. This will disable your current ASDL jack, but you could always daisy chain it from the filtered jack underneath it if you really needed 2 phone jacks there. |
