So what if you need the ADSL signal at a socket other than the master..?
My router/modem is in an upstairs bedroom, it would not be practical to
locate it at the master socket.

Fit a filtered faceplate at the master socket, and run cat5 cable from its
RJ45 socket to another RJ45 socket at a convenient location. Plug your
router into the second RJ45 socket. The Cat 5 cable will ensure that the
ADSL signal arrives at the second socket substantially uncontaminated.
