Do not connect your router/modem to an extension socket on the phone

the obvious solution and rather than using cable withÂ* plugs on, use
Cat5e cable and two sockets with fly leads to the router and computer.

Limited knowledge alert.. don't you need to position your router where
you get best wi-fi transmission? All my visitors seem to expect good
links for their pads and phones!

Yup one of the common conflicts of interest in a "one box does all"
router solution. Often the master socket will be at a far corner of the
building, and the ideal place for a single wifi point right in the
middle of it.

Multiple Wireless Access Points (either wired, or these days "meshing")
can solve that problem nicely.
