I need to re-site my router

[Twoflags]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help. I need to re-site my router but can only do it via an extension cable. I think I know the way it should be done just after a yay or nay.

 

I'll be using the cable for my sky as the extension as it it has a socket which will allow me to leave the landline in its' current position. So...

 

1. Sky extension in to master socket (no filter from socket), the socket on the back of the sky plug, filter into that, phone into filter.

 

2 at the other end of the sky extension (where the sky box plugs in) filter, sky box into filter and router into adsl side

 

Is this correct?

 

Many thanks

Extension cables and broadband are the work of the devil.

Why do you need to move it?

if you've got sky tv you don't need to connect it up to your telephone line unless you've got multi-view

the wireless on it is playing silly buggers all the time, the signal fluctuates from 100-60%. I want to hook it up wired to the ps3, xbox and Sky HD.

How can an extension make it iffy? Surely as far as the router is concerned it's plugged into the master socket

:confused:leave sky as it was before plugged straight in to socket Wireless router goes in to a seperate telephone socket on its own with filter Things like xbox live also have to plug in to theire own telephone socket

in short they all have theire own seperate sockets do not join any up to sky box the only thing that needs a filter is router
