▲# Use a small screw driver to remove the faceplate - it may have wiring attached to it so be careful not to dislodge the wiring.
#Behind the faceplate is another telephone socket. Connect your broadband splitter to that and the router to the splitter.
#
#If it does, the problem is in your internal wiring and
If you do not have a master socket like this (meaning your phone installation dates to before ~1986), try connecting the broadband splitter to the first socket where the line comes in to the building, and connect the router to the splitter.
