Hi folks,
Hi wattsy, having read through this thread so far their may be two problems here, now compounded by the Target SNRM going to 15dB which will result in some lower sync speeds until it goes down again. First a tip, when disconnecting anything which may involve the router losing sync, ie unplugging, filters, the main faceplate etc. powerdown the router first and wait at least a minute before unplugging it from the line. Try to avoid doing this more than about 5 times in an hour, the exchange may otherwise think you have a problem, and although it's already raised the Target SNRM to 15dB (it won't be set higher) it may lengthen the recovery time, but that is something to deal with when the other points are sorted.
Jim has suggested using a filtered faceplate, which is a solution that will get rid of the need for dangly filters at your other sockets on the assumption that you will not need to plug your router into any of them at any point in the future. In the meantime this is not essential to solving your immediate problem.
The first thing to deal with is the internal wiring - you have already dealt with the bell wire (3) and it's mate (4) at the master socket, these are the orange wires. You should also disconnect them at the extension sockets. Whilst you are looking at the rear of the extension sockets, check that they are proper extension plates with no components on the back.
We'll deal with the other bit next, but to that aim do you have a spare filter and do you know what type of filters they are that you are using? Are they the dangly "rat's tail" type, any model number on them?
