Personally I'd be looking at a slightly better quality twisted pair version though.

Pretty standard stuff and I'd give the Amazon link I posted above a go for the sake of a couple of quid.

Any Increase in the length of the RJ11 cable to the router could affect performance, you'd only find out by trying it. Good quality twisted pair shielded would minimise the risk.

Quote from: jelv ......RJ11 cable.........Good quality twisted pair shielded would minimise the risk.
"Good quality" yes, but "shielded" - NO!
That will increase the line capacitance, and hence change the line impedance discontinuously at the master socket, and hence may cause signals reflections, attenuations, etc,. etc., etc.
Shielded cable is NOT in the spec (or advised) for twisted pair. Similarly with Ethernet cable: it should be unshielded twisted pair (that's what "UTP" means).
I would get something like this:

NB: despite the bo**ox in the description about "up to 10 times faster", "Ethernet" and "Category 5" nonsense (it's nothing to do with Ethernet or Category 5), it DOES have strain relief, and it's NOT screened!

You've not heard of CAT 5 STP then? There's FTP too.
Have a read

Yes. (Thank you.) But shielding is not recommended for vanilla Ethernet or ADSL line use. What's your point?
