If you have the 'wires only' ADSL service, you will need an ADSL microfilter (or splitter)
for each phone socket around your house. The
splitter separates the ADSL (high frequency) signals from the
analogue phone (low frequency) signals.
If you are connecting at the BT master socket and going directly into a modem/router, then networking to PCs (either through a wired Local Area Network
or via a wireless network) you just need a single microfilter
The Solwise ADSL splitter (above)
includes a UK ring capacitor for devices with a REN of up to 2.6.
New improved version BT tested and gives 8.7Mbps throughput. These are also ideal
as local room splitters, where you then want to plug your ADSL modem directly into the room phone socket.
For example if you
do not have a router but use the phone network in your home to get the broadband connection
to each individual room .
For a more professional finish, if you are using a modem/router,
then use an ADSL faceplate splitter of the type installed and used by the BT engineer for an
installed ADSL service. It replaces the lower half of the BT 'NT5E'
master box, simply plugging into place with no extra connections to make. It also provides a filtered connection for both a local
telephone and slave sockets hardwired from the rear, should you require this.
