In general it is best to have the router plugged in as close as possible to the master socket. If you need to run wires then a long network cable from router to PC is better than a long telephone cable from socket to router. If you can do that then swap the filtered faceplate from the extension to the master socket, and plug the router in there.

Wiring has been simplified now. One dual/filtered socket now feeds telephone and router but still having problems. Particularly bad the last couple of days.

As I see it the fat wire coming in through the wall and going to the right hand connector box in the first picture is the wire coming in to the house.
The extension plugged in to the socket in the first photo goes to the filter socket shown in the second picture.
Where does the thin wire coming out of the small connector box in the first photo go to?
What is the thin wire going through the wall?
It might be easier to follow if you sketched a diagram and took a photo (or scanned) that.

Quote from: pierre_pierre cant see any sign of a filter
The box has a filter fitted internally for both sockets apparently. When its working like now it is great, just the random drops that are annoying. Dont know what is at fault

It is also a flat twin cable which isn't ideal. As a first thing I would try replacing the cable or connecting the router directly to the first socket through a filter

Quote from: jelv If you could respond to my Reply #22 we can take it from there as those pictures some some avenues to explore.
Master socket =========extension========> Phone/ADSL ======== One to telelphone / One to Router (D-Link G624T) wire runs through the wall to upstairs.
Face plate on the extension has a filter wired internally.
Quote from: Oldjim One possibility is that the connection across the room seems to go under the carpet and may have been damaged with an intermittent connection fault.

The extension has only just been fitted and didnt see any damage to it. Been having the problem before the extension went in also.
