Hello
I'm shortly due to have my Vodafone landline migrated to a SOGEA Fibre 1 connection which means that my current landline supplied via overhead Dropwire will migrate to be ported onto VoIP. I've received the RJ11 to BT female adapter and it should be plugged into the T1 outlet on the router.
This is only happening due to a noisy line that Vodafone are unable to fix after requesting on several occasions that Openreach will be needed and dealing with complete exhaustion over a number of times and weeks etc with the foreign helpdesk support staff, who are extremely polite and helpful but simply lack the knowledge to understand the UK telephone network. This is even more frustrating in that my Vodafone mobile phone is in a poor coverage area, hence the reason for the landline.
I have a number of questions to ask please.
1). The router is currently at one end of the property away from where the landline is situated. This Vodafone supplied router has two Telephone ports. Would I be correct in thinking that only one port is used unless I requested a second separate landline telephone number?.
2) Does the RJ11 adapter come supplied with a capacitor built into it so that the phones ring?. The reason being is that I have a few phones in the house and as the router is not, e.g in the living room, that I'll need to think how I will link them all up. My initial thoughts are to remove all my internal wiring from the demarcation point on BT's Master socket and fit alongside a LJ 3/1A that is BT's name for a larger extension socket that doesn't have any built-in capacitor. This would be done for neatness and then all I need to do is to link this socket with the Vodafone router using a short length of Telephone lead cable that has a single BT male plug at each end so that the three wires required to make it work and ring are passed through from the router and the only wire left in the BT Master socket will be the DSL router cable as my BT socket is the combined DSL and phone one.
3) Once I've migrated over to VoIP, can I still use for example a FAX or Modem etc?. This is just a "nice to know" query.
One other non essential query is if we can purchase a blank plate, so that my BT Master socket only has a DSL outlet?.
