You're supposed to have an ADSL filter (the widget maybe) on each phone

Thanks.

Since the PC is ~20' from the wall socket, how can that be achieved? If
I put the filter (=widget) into the wall socket, the lead for the router
won't reach it.

Hi,

The filter must be between the phone and the line, so it needs to go
on the phone side of the splitter at the wall.

To connect the router to the phone extension lead use a RJ11 to BT
adapter or another filter.

The router can be connected straight to the line via an adapter as the
filtering is only required for non ADSL equipment.

Both Ebuyer and Ebay are a good source of adapters and filters.

cheers,
Pete.
