== Step 3: Eliminate Internal Wiring ==

It will probably be possible to test from the master socket. If the socket where your line enters the building has a BT or Openreach logo and a separate removable faceplate covering the bottom half (see diagram below), then you can remove the faceplate to isolate the internal wiring in the building as follows:

# Use a small screw driver to remove the faceplate - it may have wiring attached to it so be careful not to dislodge the wiring.

 

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.
