WiFi Hub, Openreach box on wall new build

Connecting internet for the first time....I’ve ordered Vodafone Superfast 2 broadband and will receive the WiFi hub tomorrow.  I’ve moved into a new build and I have an Openreach box on the wall, I believe is for fibre which I don’t want as I just don’t need it.  Will the WiFi hub work from the Openreach box or do I just plug into phone socket instead? Thanks in advance for any help!

Yup and you plug the ONT into the socket to the left so you can place your router in the living room.

If that left hand socket is the phone socket (why would they put it in a cupboard?) then yes as  says the DSL cable will connect to the smaller of those sockets, no need to use the filter.


I did say IF it is the phone socket. Keith's explanation makes much more sense and explains why it would be in a cupboard, but why would it have the second socket? And what is the white cable? Ignore that it's obviously the power. Very useful document @KeithAlger
