Does router have to be in main phone socket to share line?

Evening all,

just had the sparky connect socket extentions in new house and immediately moved the wireless router to one of the other sockets to get a better signal. all is well and good til someone uses the phone and the broadband drops out?

So do I have to have the router in the main socket or is it that both the phone and the router have to be in the same socket? or have I not had all the wires connected? :confused:

apologies if this question has been asked a hundred times before!!

    Do you have an ADSL filter on all of your sockets ?

    A filter is only required on the sockets that are in use.

    er.. if by that you mean the little white box with the varoius socket's in then no. so do I need one in the others too then (or at least the one the phone is in)?

    In all sockets that you have something plugged into i.e. phone, fax, sky etc.
