Default Telephone wiring question

wrote in message
...
Hello All:

ATT advised me to go to cat 5 with my telephone wiring to improve DSL
connectivity.

I've got a new dual phone receptacle to accommodate the DSL modem and
a phone simultaneously.

Here is what I got:

I looked up online at various sites as to how to wire, but cannot
figure out the receptacle end.

Her is what the back of my receptacle looks like:

How do I connect the cat 5 wires to this receptacle?

Thanks,

Deguza


P.S.: I found this at the Ace H/W site but it sis not make sense.


I am not sure, but I think you attach the blue pair of wires to the red and
green screws (solid blue wire to red screw and blue stripe wire to green
screw); and the orange pair to the yellow and black screws (solid orange
wire to the yellow screw and orange stripe wire to the black screw). Or,
maybe just do the blue pair connections and skip the orange pair
connections. You may only need two wires connected -- I am not sure.

Try that and see if it works.
