I am trying to wire in an extension socket for broadband. I have connected the extension cable to pins 3 5 and 2 at the master socket and similarly to the extension socket. Please note you must use the correct inserter tool to push the wires in to the phone socket idc connectors. If youre having trouble with your broadband a few simple checks can get you up and running again.
Wiring the sockets start at the last socket and finish at the master socket. If you have fibre to the home have a look at fibre to the home. This is where the broadband signal is strongest before it goes through any other home wiring which could cause interference. Failing to do so will open the blades permanently damaging the connector. Its always best to connect your bt hub to the master socket if you can. The phone works from the extension but when the router is plugged in to the extension.
For every cable at each socket cut the sheath at the end of a cable about 13mm 12 in with a pair of side cutters and expose the white nylon ripcord. Check your wiring and set up for information. The following pictures show the standard bt telephone wiring colour code used with the bt nte5 master socket. If you have more than one socket the master socket is the one that will feed any extension sockets.
